One of the early reviews of this book said it was quite possibly “the most f’ked up love story ever written.”

I take pride in that now, but I didn’t then.

Mostly because some twat misinterpreted her own secret desires. People see what they want.

Anyway, your grandma will LOVE this book. It’s a western, and it’ll give her those “good old days” feelings. Feelings of abusive men who ruled by the hand. Maybe feelings of helplessness from childhood. Maybe triggering her into secretly suffocating your grandfather in his sleep from the repressed memories I unlocked in her ancient head. Secret, unspeakable crimes performed in the name of love and Jesus…

Seriously, it’s like a family tree origin story for the dopiest Republican politician you can think of. Insert name here __________.

Double-seriously, this book mentally damaged me, I think.

We love/hate each other.

This isn’t Pepaw’s paperback. You can’t handle this ride.

To most, 1865 was an eye-opening year. The American Civil War was officially over and the soldiers fortunate enough to survive the bloody conflict returned home to collect the pieces of their former lives. To young Arizonan, Robert Jack, the fateful desert homecoming marked the end to all he once knew. Forgiveness is overrated. Death is final. Revenge, however, dances between the fine lines of mortality and eternity. Love always finds a way.

Looking for something with a little less vomit-inducing shocks? Zoe has a cousin…

The Dime Western Returns!

“Reading Jim Walker and the Redemption Hymn is equal parts quirky fun and riveting action. Cloud’s confident, entertaining voice draws the reader in like an old radio western: the perfect bite-sized story with a main character you’re ready to follow through every adventure he finds himself on. So, tune in next time…”

– Megan Stockton, author of Lovely, Dark & Deep

The history books would read that Jim Walker was brutally executed after the Battle of Goliad, but a few promises in the right ear blurred the contrast between blood and ink. Now an aging bounty hunter on the verge of retirement, his services are requested in the Northern Arizona Territory to solve the terrifying mystery of the Verde River Massacre. With guns from a local Deputy, courage from a saloon proprietor, and a deathbed confession from an all-too-familiar Medicine Woman, Jim sets off on what could be his final adventure. Will he lay the ghosts of his past to rest once and for all, or is he simply whistling his Redemption Hymn?
