Adobe Moon

After his youth on an Iowa farm, Wyatt Earp is ready to seek his fortunes by his wits rather than the sweat of his back. In California he meets a Mexican girl, whose philosophy will haunt him for years to come. It is the prophecy of the "adobe moon," which reminds a man: If you do not achieve your dreams, you must settle for what you have.

After taking menial jobs, Wyatt settles down as a constable in Missouri. When his wife and child die, he sinks into depression where the lines of ethics blur. Wanted by the law he bides his time for a second chance, until in a Kansas cattle town he encounters his destiny as a lawman to be remembered.

Mark Warren is a writer, composer of music, and teacher of Native American survival skills. He lives with his wife Susan in the Appalachian Mountains of north Georgia.

"It is plain Mark Warren knows Wyatt Earp's story. He has researched it long enough, deep enough, and well enough to know it in ways that few others do. Adobe Moon is an absorbing read. In the restless ramblings of the young Wyatt Earp, Warren found clues to the man Earp would be. I will be looking forward to the continuing odyssey of the very human Wyatt Earp he is revealing." --Dr. Gary Roberts, author of Doc Holliday, the Life and Legend "Warren delivers . . . (in) this wonderfully written work." --Casey Tefertiller, author of Wyatt Earp, the Life Behind the Legend ". . . a beautifully crafted narrative . . . captures the essence of Wyatt Earp's formative years . . . a rollicking tale-- entertaining and truly informative" --Peter Brand, author of The Story of Texas Jack Vermillion
