A brand new Western adventure from D.M. Haggard!With the Bloody Benders of Kansas a fading memory, Dusty McCoy settles into life on his ranch in Indian Territory. Winter is closing in, and Dusty is up to his ears in work…until a letter from Judge Isaac Parker lands on his desk. The judge wants him to team up again with famed fellow U.S. Marshal Bass Reeves and help apprehend Belle Starr, the horse thief and cattle rustler known as “the Outlaw Queen.” Belle’s ranch near the small town of Enid is a haven for criminals, and her arrest will end that for good.But what really grabs Dusty’s attention is the other fugitive mentioned in the letter—David E. George, a humble house painter and resident of Enid for the past year or so. Mr. George may actually be John Wilkes Booth, the actor-turned-assassin who murdered Abraham Lincoln. Except everyone knows Booth died in a barn fire several years before. Are Dusty and Bass being sent after a dead man, or to bring one of history’s most notorious villains to justice?

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.
