Borrowing from history and with strict geographical detail, he utilizes both historical figures and believable fictional characters that interact as seamlessly as if they were all real. After reading this story, you’ll find yourself wondering just how much was fiction, and how much was taken from the oral history of the area. Texas born and bred Buck Grayson was going about the business of hauling freight and supplies from San Antonio to the small communities dotting the South Texas landscape – until he pulled his team and wagon into Los Olmos one morning in the 1880’s. From that moment on his life would never be the same. Nothing in his past, not even the Civil War, had prepared him for the changes about to come his way. Follow Buck as he depends on his war experience to stay alive as he, his friends and the kineños ride against Mexican banditos. Will he survive to keep his new found future, or will death take him before he can begin to truly enjoy his new life?

The new action-packed Western adventure from “Hard Ride To Cora” bestseller Cherokee Parks. This is the Old West… Parks style! The 1880s were a violent and harsh time all across America, but none more so than in Texas and the Indian Territories. Lawlessness was rampant, and the law was only beginning to gain a foothold. Heroes and villains gained in notoriety as the “Penny Novel” made its impact on young and old minds alike. And while we know the names of the most notorious and fabled, there were so many more names that were lost to time. Jase Pinto is but one of those lost names, as he faded in and out of history like a ghost – supporting law and order wherever he traveled. Whether with his knives, his Winchester, or his Colt, Pinto doled out justice to some of the worst outlaws in the Territories and North Texas. Who was this mysterious man known as Jase Pinto? Only a chosen few ever knew his secret, or his real identity. Pinto’s Run reveals his story, and how the legend began.
