Blog postTHE WINTER OF MY FIRST LIBRARY CARD
Colder’n a grave-digger’s behind here this winter! Or a banker’s heart… Anyway…it got me thinking that I may not have become a writer if I’d grown up somewhere warm. What made me fall in love with reading was warming up in the Leach Public Library in Wahpeton, North Dakota, back in the 1970s when I was delivering newspapers—both the Wahpeton Daily Newsand the Fargo Forum.

Blog postYesterday, Sunday October 22, 2018, was a great day for a road trip. My friend and old (but still young!) schoolmate, Mary Altoff, and I hopped in my Ford truck and motored on over to the Cheyenne River country in eastern North Dakota, about an hour's drive west of my old hometown of Wahpeton, on the Red River of the North. A great time was had by us both. The beer was cold and the pizza tasty at the Sand Dune Saloon in MacLeod.2 years ago Read more

Blog postFrom The Life and Times of Lou Prophet, Bounty Hunter by HEYWOOD WILDEN SCOTT
I’d been a tough-nosed newsman for nearly sixty years, yet it was with more trepidation than I like to admit that I knocked on the big, old rebel’s door.

Blog postThe author with a fresh batch of beer
I brew beer for the same reason men and women have been brewing beer since they started pounding on tom-toms and genuflecting before the sun gods—because I like the taste of a good, heady pail of suds. Aside from a little slap ‘n’ tickle on a hot August Saturday night with the radio turned low, you just can’t beat a good beer buzz. It’s almost as much fun as wrestling pterodactyls.

Blog post(I'm reprinting this from a mother's day past...)My mother never met a grisly story she didn’t like. And she never met one she considered unfit for her children, no matter how young we were.

Blog postI became a writer when I was ten years old. At least, that’s when I began seeing myself as a writer. An author, really. I was in the fifth grade, and an editor of the local newspaper, the Wahpeton Daily News, must have needed extra ink with which to fill her pages. She asked my fifth-grade teacher, Mrs. Bjornson, a matronly sister-of-the-sod and a die-hard fan of Anne of Green Gables, to have her students write poems that might, just might, if they made the cut, be published in the sainted News.3 years ago Read more

On his trip north, Yakima befriends two young sisters whose mother has died and who, escaping an abusive stepfather, are trying to make their way north to their grandparents’ farm along the Cannon Ball River. Heading into owlhoot-infested Dakota Territory is no nap in the shade for Yakima alone but traveling with two complicated young women is no picnic, either.
When an Irish countess seduces Yakima, enflaming her husband’s jealous rage, and the bounty-hunting assassin called The Reverend stalks Yakima’s and the girls’ trail, Yakima comes to believe that when his friend Paul sent him north to Dakota, he’d really been sending him hell-bound!
“The west has a bonafide superhero and his name is Yakima Henry.”
Lou Prophet's life as a bounty hunter has taught him one rule: You don't stop riding till the job is finished. Prophet is repeatedly caught in bloody crossfires and he is determined to show the outlaws that justice doesn’t always wear a badge.
Join the bounty hunter as he searches for a gorgeous showgirl, chases down a brutal gang, protects his partner at all costs, escorts a Russian noblewoman on an Arizona trail and captures stage-robbers!
“A storyteller who knows the West.”—Bill Brooks
Lou Prophet: The Complete Western Series, Volume 1 includes – The Devil and Lou Prophet, Riding With the Devil's Mistress, The Devil Gets His Due, Staring Down the Devil, and The Devil's Lair.
Lou Prophet’s pretty pistol-packing partner, Louisa Bonaventure also known as the Vengeance Queen, has his back—and dare he say it, part of his heart. Louisa Bonaventure’s family was slaughtered by the Three of a Kind Gang. Now, Louisa wants vengeance and bounty hunter Lou Prophet will stop at nothing to make sure she gets it.
The two bounty hunters find themselves in endless amounts of trouble. From escaping death in Helldorado, escorting a killer to be hanged, riding the brutal Mexican frontier chasing outlaws, to hunting the seven nightriders – Lou Prophet prays that these pursuits end with him on the right end of a smoking pistol...
"Takes off like a shot, never giving the reader a chance to set the book down." — Douglas Hirt
Lou Prophet: The Complete Series, Volume 2 includes – The Graves at Seven Devils, Helldorado, The Devil's Winchester, The Devil's Laughter and The Devil's Ambush.
FROM THE CURRENT KING OF THE VIOLENT, SEXY, HARD-HITTING WESTERN
The Classic Sheriff Ben Stillman Series Begins...
Playing poker, smoking cigarettes, drinking whiskey—retirement was treacherous business for ex-lawman Ben Stillman. The best of life seemed to be past, but then the past came looking for him...
The son of an old friend rides into Ben's life with a plea for justice and a mind for revenge. Up on the Hi-Line in Montana, a rich Englishman is rustling ranchers out of their livelihoods... and their lives. The boy suspects these rustlers have murdered his father, Milk River Bill Harmon, and the law is too crooked to get any straight answers.
But can the worn-out old lawman live up to the legendary lawman the boy has grown to admire?
For fans of William W. Johnstone and George P. Cosmatos’s Tombstone, you’ll love this first novel in the epic, fast-paced Sheriff Ben Stillman series.
Guided only by the barrel of his pistol, former deputy marshal Gideon Hawk no longer abides by conventional laws. Known as the Rogue Lawman, he serves his own brand of justice by carving his way through the West, leaving fallen criminals in his wake…
When "Three Fingers" Ned Meade kills his ten-year-old son, which results in his wife's suicide, Gideon Hawk, once a lawman of principle, embarks on a mission of vengeance against Meade--one that will make him a wanted man.
Rogue Lawman: The Complete Series, Volume 1 includes: Rogue Lawman; Deadly Prey; Cold Corpse, Hot Trail; Bullets over Bedlam and Border Snakes.
“Action-packed…for fans of traditional westerns.”—Booklist
Colter Farrow may be young, but ever since his stepfather was savagely murdered, his blood has boiled with a rage as great as any man's. Now he sets out on a journey for justice.
While trying to exact revenge, Colter ends up on the run from bounty hunters, outlaws, and a sadistic sheriff. Desperate and afraid, Colter is searching for freedom and a chance to return home to live a quiet, normal life.
The Saga of Colter Farrow is a dark and violent revenge western that will leave readers shocked.
This omnibus edition includes: The Guns of Sapinero, The Killers of Cimarron, The Last Ride of Jed Strange, Bad Justice and Blood of the Mountain Born.
The wild western trails are Yakima’s only real home, his only real friends his coal-black stallion, Wolf, his trusty stag-gripped Colt .44, his prized Winchester Yellowboy repeater, and his razor-edged Arkansas toothpick.
Yakima Henry hunts killers, is hunted by killers, digs for gold, destroys saloons with his fists and legendary temper, gets locked up, busts out, shoots his way in and out of Old Mexico, falls in and out of love with beautiful women, and lays down a heavy fog of gun smoke everywhere he rides…looking for something even he knows he’ll never find—save, in the end, a lonely unmarked grave in a forlorn stretch of cactus-spiked desert…
“In the realm of slam-bang action writing in the Old West, the rest of us can’t hold a candle to Peter Brandvold.”—J. Lee Butts, author of Lawdog.
Fighting the good fight is enough reason for former deputy marshal, Gideon Hawk, to get in on the action. But when the defenseless are involved, it gets personal for the Rogue Lawman…
What this town needs is a temporary lawman who exhibits little diplomacy when it comes to doling out justice—and Gideon Hawk is that man. Not everyone is sure of him though, especially a hard-nosed yet fetching schoolteacher and some shady businessmen…
“Nobody writes this sort of hard-edged Western better than Peter Brandvold himself. Gideon Hawk is one of my favorite characters, and this novel is a fine addition to the Rogue Lawman series.” – James Reasoner
Rogue Lawman: The Complete Series, Volume 2 includes: Gallows Express; Heed the Thunder; Bloody Canaan; Undertaker's Friend.
Federal Deputy Marshal Spurr Morgan may be an old dog in the business of tracking down desperados‚ but his instincts remain unmatched. Spurr has his sights set on Clell Stanhope‚ the notorious leader of a gang called the Vultures. Not only has Clell lured every last tin star into his bloody trap‚ but he's littered his trail with dozens of innocents. Spurr thinks he may be the last man standing -- until a half-breed by the name of Yakima Henry offers his services.
Spurr Morgan: A Western Double includes – The Last Lawman and The Old Wolves.
The town marshal of Apache Springs, Arizona Territory—Yakima Henry--has his hands full. It’s not an easy job, for Apache Springs is booming and the railroad has come to town. Bad men outnumber the lawmen by a thousand to three.
The sleepy little desert town will soon become a powder keg of raw emotion, hot-flying lead and the setting of a love triangle with the Kosgrove sisters.
Yakima Henry Volume 3 includes: Bloody Arizona, Wildcat of the Sierra Estrada, Chiracahua Blues, and Canyon of Death.
“Hooks you instantly with sin-soaked villains and a compelling hero. Yakima Henry has a heart of gold and an Arkansas toothpick.” – Mike Baron, author of Florida Man
FROM THE CURRENT KING OF THE SEXY, HARD-DRIVING WESTERN ADVENTURE!
The legendary Sheriff Ben Stillman series continues....
Things have heated up since the last time Ben Stillman brought peace to Clantick, Montana Territory. It's been two years since he left to join the Pinkerstons, and now there's a group of bloodthirsty cowboys who think they own the town.
When the ruthless desperados shoot down a helpless, feeble-minded friend of Jody Harmon, it's the last straw. Something's gotta be done. And Jody knows there's just one man for the job. Ben Stillman is returning to Clantick...and he'll have justice once more with a .44...
Yakima Henry is the loneliest breed of men in the Old West—he’s half-white, half-Cheyenne Indian.
It’s not easy being a half-breed on the western frontier. Belonging to neither race, Yakima finds himself at odds with both. Often fleeing a hangman’s rope, the lonely half-breed roams the mountains and plains, looking for…what?
Hell, not even Yakima knows. A home, maybe? The love of a good woman? He finds both for a time only after having hell to pay to get them…but for a man like Yakima, with a reputation as one of the most formidable gunfighters on the entire frontier, and having left a trail of dead men behind him…as well as broken hearts…none of the usual comforts are his for long.
Follow Yakima’s epic adventures in this gripping new omnibus, containing books 1-6.
