An excerpt from my new western novel, "East Jesus, Nevada"

"Ronin hated crowds and generally didn’t go to town if he could avoid it.   If nature abhors a vacuum, he recalled Ralph Waldo Emerson having said once, he hated whatever the opposite of a vacuum was.  People-filled rooms, busy stages and train stations all made him uncomfortable.  It was a...

The daughter of a Native American wise man goes missing from a white man’s Christian Gospel Mission, and two fast friends—brought together by passion and persistence during Nevada’s 1880s western expansion—are hell-bent on finding her, and possibly others.

Meet W.W. Ronin, a former Episcopal minister turned bounty hunter, and his imposing but congenial buddy, Carson City deputy sheriff Marcus T. “Dustsucker” Slade.

Together, the men fight graft and greed with pure guts as they wind their way through the Washoe Valley to solve the mystery of the missing Indian children. And along the way, they discover not only a faster friendship, but a deeper meaning to life in the wild, godforsaken West.

That’s my publicist’s writing.  Okay, I don’t have a publicist yet.  But if I did, I’d want one just like my wife, Nancy Lashbrook Townsley, a professional writer, an award-winning journalist and extremely competent editor with the Pamphlin Media Group in Portland, Oregon. 

Thanks babe!  I think you captured the the book well.  

And oh, did she say it was a shoot ‘em up?  No?  Well all of the books in the Ronin series are.  Because I like them that way.

    Thanks Lindsey! I’m working on the publishing details and arrangements as I’m writing this. Hopefully soon…

  3. Nice! A well-done summary and an interesting plot line. Hoping I have time some day to read it… but judging by the stack of books on my nightstand that may be a while… Here’s hoping to more free time once my kids get a little older!
