About this ebook
Dakota Territory 1876
Denver Wildfire is an ugly looking thief whose physical appearance may not amount to much but he’s smart, literate and ex-military.... and he has a plan.
After Little Big Horn the government offers to buy the Black Hills from the roused Sioux but they’re not ready or willing to deal in real estate. That leaves a lot of loose change in the offing.
Denver rides with the Mexican, a good man with a long match and short fuse, and the kid, a wild card who can drive a six-team like the devil himself. All three are intent on stepping into the lucrative honeypot left in the vacuum between the Indian uprising and a US army bent on war.
The deadline is set and Denver must make his move, the scheme is only complicated by the advent of another man’s fine looking wife. Her passion has turned Denver’s head and it’s a matter of setting his complicated plan in motion without this new distraction, a military campaign and rampaging Indians getting in the way.
The prize is a fortune; the price is in bullets and blood.

It’s not such a big step from pictures to writing.And that’s how it started out for me. I’ve illustrated more Western book covers than I care to mention and been doing it for a long time. No hardship, I hasten to add, I love the genre and have since a kid, although originally I made my name painting the cover art for other people, now at least, I manage to create covers for my own books.A long-term closet writer, only comparatively recently, with a family grown and the availability of self-publishing have I managed to be able to write and get my stories out there.As I did when illustrating, research counts a lot and has inspired many of my Westerns and Thrillers to have a basis in historical fact or at least weave their tale around the seeds of factual content.Having such a visual background, mostly it’s a matter of describing the pictures I see in my head and translating them to the written page. I guess that’s why one of my early four-star reviewers described the book like a ‘Western movie, fast paced and full of action.’I enjoy writing them; I hope folks enjoy reading the results.
