When Johnny McCabe was a younger man, he roamed the Mexican border and his exploits led him to be known as the Gunman of the Rio Grande. Thirty years later, an old friend from the those days re-enters his life, gravely wounded and bringing with him a warning that a mutual enemy from their past is paying to have them both killed. Johnny and his family intend to defend his old friend and stand against their old enemy, even as the enemy sends an army of gunfighters descending on the McCabe ranch. Also included as a bonus - a story of the original John McCabe who roamed the Appalachian Mountains during the French and Indian War.
Author
Brad was born in rural New England and grew up reading Louis L'Amour, Luke Short, A.B Guthrie, Jr., and even Edgar Rice Burroughs. He knew at 14 he wanted to write for a living, and refused to give up the goal even when the odds seemed overwhelmingly against it. Now, thanks to Amazon, his stories are now available. He is a member of the Western Writers of America Brad fell in love with the Old West at a very young age. It began with movies and old TV series like GUNSMOKE and BONANZA, and later expanded to western novels. This led to his study of western history. The pioneers, the Indians, the cattlemen, the gunfighters. His interest in history is not so much about wars and great leaders, but the people who lived on the land. And that's what he writes about. The people. He doesn't write about the old west as much as he writes about what it might have felt like to be there. He loves contact from readers. He can be reached by email at mccabewesterns@gmail.com if you want to discuss his stories, or even just the American West in general.
