Critics Review
“A daring, very well written debut.“—Booklist
“Combining suspense and romance with coming-of-age elements, this debut Western will have wide appeal for fans of such authors as Elmer Kelton, Sandra Dallas, and Stephen Overholser.“—Library Journal
“It’s one of the finest western novels I have ever read in my life. It’s just rip roaring great! I enjoyed the book immensely and I hope you will write a whole bunch more. If I can help you in any way, or write an Introduction to this book or any other, I would be most pleased to do what I can. You have a life long fan and I will read every book you write. It’s the best book of any kind that I have read in a long time.“—James Drury, star of TV’s The Virginian
“It would be a shame to have missed The Black Hills.“—Billy Etbauer, popular rodeo star and five time Professional Rodeo Cowboys Association Bronc Riding Champion
