About this ebook
Oregon, 1864
Wounded cavalry captain, Jason Pardee returns home on recovery furlough to find things have changed a great deal for people away from the front. His father’s store is no longer the place he remembers but there is a kindly and attractive widow who has moved in as neighbor. With her help he manages to restore some of the failings but they are faced by another desperate problem in the shape of a predatory gang of marauders and a brutish provost officer who operates at the limits of legitimacy.
Times are hard with the war’s enforced stringency and the plunderers are crippling the country store. Partnering up with a backwoodsman, a loner who has his own reasons for tracking down the raiders, Jason sets out to bring some justice to the hungry and lawless land.

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.
