Prodigal
All rights reserved
The prodigals have returned from the cattle drive unrepentant,
finding their homes much as they had left them. They expect to
resume their lives and jobs and to mock those not brave enough to
have joined them on their adventures. But someone took care of their
families and did their jobs while they were gone. And someone has to
clean up the messes they brought home with them. He’s the one they
left behind. He is the other Prodigal.
Excerpt coming soon, work under consideration.
Malachi’s Gold,
work under consideration
Rumors of gold occurred
everywhere in the U.S., but the mountain men who hunted their
fortune in pelts actually confirmed the Black Hills rumors long
before Sutter’s Mill. So why didn’t the gold rush start years
earlier and a convenient thousand miles closer to the masses? What
happened to the earliest accidental prospectors? Malachi Evans is a
seventeen-year-old trapper who is determined to save his family’s
farm despite the fact that he even can’t grow grass in a cow pile.
His only skill is in hunting, but a raucous family feud has made him
the hunted. Malachi heads west searching for his fortune and a way
to save his life when he meets a prospector who promises him both.
Unfortunately, Malachi isn’t as good at keeping friends as he is at
stockpiling gold. He will need a friend to help him get out of the
hills alive and discover the difference between real and fool’s
gold.
