Blog postMy Sheriff Ben Stillman Series is doing a brisk business on Amazon!
CHECK THE SERIES OUT HERE -
Blog postI got my paperback copy of the second Ben Stillman book today, from Wolfpack Press! (Except it's really the third one but the numbering will all be fixed after the third one, which is really the second one, comes out on March 6th--ONCE MORE WITH A .44.) In whatever order you read them, they're damn good books...if I may be so humble.

Another book in the series will follow every other week after this one.
At the tail end, in the spring or early summer, brand-new, freshly penned volumes will begin appearing.
I have been having a grand old time this winter, penning new tales in this series, the -
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. Before I started the fifth grade, I wasn’t all that big on rea -

Blog postThe book on the left came out a couple months ago. The one on the right will be out in a month. The one on the left is being discounted to 1.99 from 11/25-1/6 to help promote the masterpiece on the right. So on the 25th, take a break from the family drama and go over to Amazon and pick Mean Pete's pockets. Make him hoppin' mad! He really hates gettin' fleeced like that!! (SUNDOWN is entirely new, by the way. Never before published anywhere. An entirely new book...er, masterpiece.)

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.

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.
I’d heard the stories about him. Hell, I’d printed many of those yarns in the various newspapers I’d written and edited in that grand old time of the Old West gunfighters, larger-than-life lawmen -
Blog postNOW AVAILABLE IN BEAUTIFUL HARDCOVER AND EBOOK FROM FIVE STAR!
Two western novels featuring Bear Haskell, U.S. Deputy Marshal, who rides for Chief Marshal Henry Dade out of Denver’s First District Court. Haskell’s a former Union war hero and Pinkerton agent, a big man over six and a half feet tall and as broad as a barn door. He wears a necklace of bear claws taken from the grizzly that almost had him for supper. That’s the kind of man bear is. He holds a grudge and he gives no quar -
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.
Brewing beer probably wasn’t as enjoyable back when men and -
Blog postSign up for the Goodreads Giveaway of my new mass-market paperback Lou Prophet novel due out next month from Pinnacle...This book is two 50k word Lou Prophet novels in one. Each I published briefly as ebook originals but when Pinnacle asked if I could send them a book fast to fill a hole in their schedule, I took those two ebooks off Amazon and put this single volume together. The books are framed by a fictional introduction by an old, ink-stained newsman who got to know Lou when Lou, in hi

Blog postPre-order BLOOD AT SUNDOWN
I just received a new Lou Prophet cover from Pinnacle, so I thought I'd post it here. This is the second of three books Gary Goldstein at Pinnacle is publishing over the course of the next year. The first one, STAGECOACH TO PURGATORY, will be out in late August.
I'm also posting the links, so if you're of a mind to pre-order either...or both...you can. (I could use the beer money.) I'm about to wrap up the third book now, which is -
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. In fact, she often retold these stories to my little sister and me with startling, sometimes morbid delight, as though she not only wanted to tell us stories of death and grisly destruction, but she considered it her parental duty to do so.I’m not just talking about the vague imparti

Blog postYesterday was the first brew day of the season here at Angry Dog Brewing. That's me on the left there with my pal, Bill Schmidt, whom I've known since we were in the fifth grade together in Wahpeton, North Dakota, 24 miles east of where I currently live in Fergus Falls, Minnesota.
When I moved back to the old home country a little over three years ago, Bill and I quickly got back in touch, and the main way we got back in touch was through brewing beer together. We brew several weeke -
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.

Blog postThe new Colter Farrow western, Book 5 in that series, is free until midnight tonight!
Hop on over to Amazon and snag your copy. I hope you'll leave a review.
Happy Spring from Mean Pete Press. (We can't see it from here in western Minnesota, but we know it's out there...somewhere.)
COLTER FARROW #5 FREE -
Blog postThe fifth Colter Farrow novel, the first one I've written in about six years--my, how the time does do-si-do!--is finally here. It's nearly 100-thousand words of pure action and adventure. With a little lovin' thrown in to keep the guitars strummin'. Here's a teaser:
Colter stepped out away from the cliff wall and loudly clicked back the Remington’s hammer, leveling the revolver on the three silhouettes standing by the brush lining the arroyo. “You fellas lost?”“Ah, shit,” -
Blog post(I intend to have this available through Amazon in a few days. I've been working on it hard, and it's taken me longer than I expected. But I've been having a real blast writing this fifth book in the Colter Farrow series. I started it back home in Minnesota and I'm doing the final polish here in southeast Arizona. Here, Colter returns home to the Lunatic Mountains. Only, much has changed, and a war rocks the land...)
