The first book in a brand new Mountain Man adventure series from D.M. Haggard! Half Jicarilla Apache and half white, Wilder Hawk has one foot in the Indian and Anglo worlds, but doesn’t fully fit in either. His father, a mountain man who married an Apache chief’s daughter, died in a hunting accident before Wilder was born. Now eighteen and a man grown, Wilder chooses to leave his tribe and roam the West, going wherever the spirits lead him in search of adventure and a connection to the man whose name and blood he bears. His travels take him from New Mexico to the Colorado Rockies, pitting him against wild animals, rough terrain, bandits, and a would-be swindler. His biggest challenge is the one he least expects—guiding a pretty widow and her children home on a 600-mile trek across the Kansas prairie, a place no mountain man would normally be. When disaster threatens, it takes all of Wilder’s ingenuity and strength to ensure his own and the family’s survival. Grab your copy today!

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.
