Those foolhardy, brave, reckless cowboys and cowgirls who ride the broncs and buckin' bulls. Why do they do it? Is it the thrill? The challenge of human over beast? Is it something in their wrangler genes that makes them itch to be tossed in the air, thrown headlong into the muck, stomped and trampled? Or is it the roar of the crowd that makes each rider settle onto his or her snorting mount and signal one more time to "bust open the chutegate"? Vintage photos of rodeo riders from the 1910s to 1930s, brought to life by artist Bob Wade's stylistic imagination, show the thrills and spills of rodeo. A foreword by six-time World Champion All-Around Cowboy Larry Mahan and an introduction by famous cowboy poet (himself a former rodeo maniac) Paul Zarzyski help answer the questions. They leave no doubt that rodeo gets into the blood - and vice versa.

This is a book I have written from stories that John has told through the years, and I felt that if something happened to him, they would be lost forever. John is pretty shy and didn’t want me to write them, thinking some people would think he was showing off. So I told him it would be a thing for his family to have through the years. I have heard a saying that says, “Each time an old man dies, a library is lost.” He is the author; I am the writer.

In the tradition of great seafaring adventures, The Voyage is an intricately plotted, superbly detailed, and gripping story of adventure and courage. Pulitzer Prize-winning author Philip Caputo has written a timeless novel about the dangerous reverberating effects of long held family secrets. On a June morning in 1901, Cyrus Braithwaite orders his three sons to set sail from their Maine home aboard the family's forty-six-foot schooner and not return until September. Though confused and hurt by their father's cold-blooded actions, the three brothers soon rise to the occasion and embark on a breathtakingly perilous journey down the East Coast, headed for the Florida Keys. Almost one hundred years later, Cyrus's great-granddaughter Sybil sets out to uncover the events that transpired on the voyage. Her discoveries about the Braithwaite family and the America they lived in unfolds into a stunning tale of intrigue, murder, lies and deceit.

Gunfighting legend Sam Pritchard tracks down a notorious train saboteur—and nearly goes off the rails—in this fast-paced Western adventure from acclaimed author Sean Lynch. . . . DEMENTED. DERANGED. DERAILED. 1875. The escalating rivalry between the two major railroad companies takes a dangerous—and deadly—turn when a train is deliberately derailed. Many are killed. More are injured. And Marshal Samuel Pritchard’s longtime friend is crippled for life. The mastermind behind the train wreck claims to be the infamous Civil War criminal Jem Rupe, aka “The Trainwrecker of Platte Bridge.” There’s just one problem: Rupe has been dead for ten years. . . . With an oath of vengeance on his lips—and a pair of Colt .45s on his hips—Pritchard sets off to find the trainwrecking fiend, whether it’s really Jem Rupe or some copy-cat maniac. Either way, he’ll have to ride the rails with some pretty deranged characters—crooked railroad tycoons, ruthless bounty hunters, trigger-happy gunfighters—before he reaches the end of the line. There’s just one way to stop a mass transit murderer . . . and that’s dead in his tracks. “A riveting thriller that bristles with hard-boiled authenticity.” —bestselling author Mark Greaney on Thy Partner’s Wife “Sean Lynch spins a tale that is fast, fun and realistic.” —bestselling author James O’Born on Like Hell

Nine-year-old "e;Skid"e; Beaumont's family is stuck in the mud. Following his father's decision to relocate and build a new home, based on a drunken vision that New Orleans would rapidly expand eastwards into the wetlands as a result of the Seventies oil boom, Skid and his brothers grow up in a swampy area of Louisiana. But the constructions stop short, the dream fizzles out, and the Beaumonts find themselves sinking in a soggy corner of 1980s Cold War America. As things on the home front get more complicated, Skid learns of his mother's alleged magic powers and vaguely remembers some eerie stories surrounding his elder brother Frico. These, as well as early events that Skid saw with his own eyes, convince him that Frico has a gift to fix things by simply sketching them. For the next few years, Skid's self-appointed mission to convince his brother to join him in his lofty plan to change their family's luck and the world they live in will lead to even more mystery and high drama in the swamp. Atmospheric, uplifting and deeply moving, Sketcher - Roland Watson-Grant's stunning debut - is a novel about the beauty of life no matter how broken it is.
