Wind Horses

Rusty, a young cowboy, has given his word to ramrod a cattle drive across 1000 miles of wild frontier. A gang of savage outlaws led by two godless killers are hellbent to end the drive with Rusty's gruesome death. Frank and Slade, two middle eastern brothers, grew up poor and destitute. They live by an oath to use any means necessary to get rich and stay rich. They will stop at nothing to get the cattle and kill the crew, including Rusty's beloved Mandy. Rusty was raised to become a good man by loving missionary parents posted in the far east. He must dig deep into a forgotten past to find the will and wisdom to keep him and those he loves alive.   

Rusty, Frank and Slade were lured to America by a love of horses, the wild west, and a desire to become cowboys.  They think, fight, laugh, and love, from a wellspring of starkly different wells.  Guided by echoes of very different pasts, these very different cowboys lock horns in a life-or-death struggle that rumbles across the frontier headlong into the maw of the unimagined.  On the sacred land of the Little Bighorn all worlds collide-the Plains Indians will sing of it for generations.

Authentic to 1875, the story moves like a stampede in the night, fast, furious, and unsure of what lies ahead. This novel targets those who love the west and appreciate well researched historic fiction. It is a wild and woolly ride to the very end where you will laugh with a toothless lama and want more of the authentic old west as seen through the author's lens.
