The twenty-eighth book in the Mountain Life Western Adventure series from Charles Ray! Bear Creek has problems. An upstart newcomer had defeated its old mayor in an election and Caleb and his friends don’t understand how he did it. Then, a rich easterner shows up with a plan to buy out all the local farms and ranches and he’s brought a gang of hired guns to make it difficult for anyone to resist his sales pitch. He hasn’t reckoned on the stubbornness of Caleb Johnson and his Shoshone wife, Flora, though, as they rally the residents of Bear Creek to preserve their homes and way of life. Grab your copy today!

I've been writing since my teens. In addition to writing for several newspapers and magazines in the US, Europe, Asia, and Africa, I've written two books on leadership and a number of fiction works. I'm also a published poet, photographer, and artist. I write in several genres, reflecting my broad reading tastes. I spent 20 years in the army, retiring in 1982 and becoming a diplomat. I've worked in about 10 countries and traveled to about 30 more, mining each for material to write about.
