Blood Crossing is the second exciting tale of the Carpenter family, who came west and built an empire, and the violence and passion that stood in their way. When Devlin Carpenter witnesses a killing during a stagecoach holdup, no one suspects that it’s the beginning of a murderous conspiracy that will endanger his brothers and mother. And the Carpenters are not the only family under the gun. A horse ranch outside of town is burned, the family killed except for a teenage boy now thirsting for revenge. Add undercover Pinkertons, ambushes, gunfights and a financier who is more than he seems, and you have one hell of a mess that will take a lot of Carpenter know-how to resolve. But… will all of them get out of this scrape alive? Blood Crossing, the second of C. Wayne Winkle’s Carpenter Family Western Adventures, ramps up the thrills and excitement of his fast-moving Blood Horizon. See why Western fans have picked the Carpenter Family as their new favorite Western series!
Authors
I write adventure novels, thrillers and westerns. I am a Western Writers of America Spur Finalist for my novel, Tales of Tom Mix: The Wild West Christmas. My books are founded on the notion that the world is full of adventure—you can find it everywhere and anywhere. I want you to enjoy reading them as much as I enjoy writing them. I always wanted to be a writer. When I was in first grade I was already writing stories of vampires and monsters; by fifth grade I had graduated to spy heroes and assorted adventurers. Then came the westerns. I ended up becoming a professional writer of public relations materials, mostly for the medical industry. Let me tell you, nothing is more soul-crushing than writing about urge urinary incontinence when you want to be writing about dangerous men and even more dangerous adversaries. I’ve written a few nonfiction books over the years, but my daydreams just got bigger and bigger. I wanted an imaginative landscape similar to all the craziness going-on inside my head, so I moved to fiction. I wrote many (many!) books until I finally had my first success with both the Tales of Tom Mix and Bradigan’s Mountain series. My Jess Galleon Adventures are designed to generate the thrills I felt reading the great adventure stories of my boyhood. I hope you enjoy my books and keep reading. You can always reach me through my Web site or on social media; I would love to hear from you. # # #
