By D.M. Haggard

A brand new Mountain Man adventure from D.M. Haggard! On the trail home from selling furs at Bent’s Outpost, seeking shelter from a snowstorm, Buck Jackson unexpectedly rescues Brent Walker—the livery hand from Cañon City, Colorado who helped him bury his beloved mule, Black Jack. Recently orphaned, sixteen-year-old Brent accepts Buck’s offer to take him in for the rest of the winter and teach him the ways of a mountain man. The two become fast friends, sharing hardships and joys, until a chance discovery reveals Brent’s connection to Jake Walker, raised as Buck’s foster brother in Texas after Jake’s parents died in an Indian raid. Now a prosperous ranch owner and Texas Ranger, Jake can offer Brent a far better life than Buck…or so Buck thinks when he and Brent journey to Texas to visit the Walkers. Will Brent stay with his newfound kin, or stick with Buck and stay a mountain man?

D. M. Haggard, aka D. M. Horridge, was born in Texas, raised on cactus, dust, and a strong family. When I was very young, I would visit my uncle's farm in San Antonio and work side by side with my seven cousins baling hay, swimming in a round cow trough, and hunting rattlesnakes. I've hunted and fished all over the United States, and have worked like a trojan on my own ranch in Texas. I've written short stories and professional articles for a variety of marketing and professional magazines, but only recently started writing western adventure stories. I like learning about the real characters of western history and use them in a fictional way. I feel like I am preserving their memory and the heritage they left for us over time. I have been blessed with a wonderful wife of 55 years, two terrific children, and a million friends. I try to leave a message in every book that says to the reader, "we are all part of this world of ours and we need to work together to keep it from falling apart." My family is the most important part of my life. I have also been blessed with four fabulous grandchildren and two spouses of our children who have brought a wonderful depth to our family and extended family. One of my favorite subjects is the Texas Rangers, a group of tough, honorable, and law-abiding men and women. Only recently I have begun a series of children's books named "The Amazing Adventures of Two Boys." They represent many of the stories my father told to my brother and me as children. Always exciting, but not frightening, they give me great pleasure to write and publish on Amazon under my father's name, Don Horridge, and my name D. M. Horridge. All of the proceeds from these children's books are donated to children's ministries throughout the world. Thanks for listening.
