Born To Track

Fifteen-year-old Reuben Cole is about to learn about the viciousness of the lawless West. After he comes to the aid of a fleeing Native American pursued by a murderous gang, Reuben accidentally kills one of them and puts his own life in danger. A whirlwind of danger ensues, as Reuben is pursued by a band of ruthless killers. Baptized in the violence of the unforgiving West, Reuben has to learn the arts of tracking and survival. These harsh lessons from his early days will turn him into the dangerous, powerful man he is to become.

He Who Comes

When they crossed Reuben Cole, they signed their death warrant. Reuben Cole is not the sort of man they should have messed with, and breaking into his home proves a bad idea. After his friend, Sheriff Roose, hunts down the robbers who took everything of value, the reasons for the burglary are revealed and a crooked railroad magnate's ambitions exposed. Cole's enemies are about to learn that the ways of the Old West, despite it being a new century, are not quite over yet.

The Hunter

His ruthless determination to hunt down those who have broken the law is a force that drives him forward. An ex-army scout, his skills are valued and sought after whenever trouble arises. When evil men try to seize what others possess, Reuben is called in. No one who crosses Reuben Cole is going to stay around for long. He is the hunter of those who break the unspoken creed of the Old West.

Murdered By Crows

These are difficult times for so many of us, uncertainty and unease, constant companions. A good book can help us all to escape to a different world. As a writer, I'm fortunate that I can create new worlds or visit old ones. I hope you can join me as I sit here, at my home in Spain and do my best to do what I do best! Mine is not a rags to riches story or one borne out of hardship, the need to write to pay bills, or the result of a college course. I write because I love it and I always strive to make my work as enjoyable as possible. Writing in several genres allows me to weave all sorts of different stories, from Westerns to thrillers to historical fiction. Readers can slip into another world and come out feeling breathless, excited, desperate for more. Sometimes I succeed, sometimes I don't, but I try my best.
