Dead Horse, Dead Man: Western Fiction Mysteries

A number of my stories originate from actual events in our early west particularly in Arizona, New Mexico and Texas. In the 1800s robberies were a common thing and in some cases the newspapers made hero's of the Bandits. It was also very common for the booty to be hidden if it were hard to pack off. Commonly a burial site was selected, but in many instances the robbers were killed or hung leaving the treasure lost. These were not rare incidents. My fictional mysteries involve developing solution for locating these treasures. Most of my stories are based upon real life robberies and unfound gold and lost treasure. I have been an avid student of pioneer and Indian activities in those areas. I sincerely hope that my fictional stories do not offend or embarrass any nationality or lifestyle. I have endeavored to put realism in my narratives without overly offensive language, or fantasy. My characters are drawn from the characteristics and lifestyle of men and women depicted in historical writings and diaries from the 1840 to 1885 era. This was the time of Indian wars, Renegade pillaging, Wagon Trains and major Gunfighter tales. Any student of early west settlement knows that these narratives are mild compared to the raw horrifying acts perpetrated in many conflicts . Thanks for your interest in my books. It's my hope that you enjoy the tales as much as I did writing them.
