Book Description
Bitter Creek Holler is a collection of poetic reflections on life with an emphasis on grief and loss which I hope will help the grieving heart. My heart needed a voice to cry its sorrow as I went through my own grief journey and encountered others on their theirs. After the sudden, unexpected death of my 22-year-old husband, a police officer in 1981, and now today, years later, the sudden, unexpected death of my 32-year-old son due to Covid 19, I find myself once again walking the road of confusing emotions and striving to hold on to hope. While the reader and I may never meet, it is certain, that as fellow humans, we are alike. We have lived, loved, gained and lost. May you ultimately be encouraged and realize that you are not alone. I wish you peace.

Double-barreled action—the first two Longarms in one volume! LONGARM Longarm has a new mission. Ride to Crooked Lance. Pick up Cotton Younger, killer cousin of Jesse James, from the town jail. Bring him to trial. It should be easy. Except for one thing: Deputy Kincaid has already tried it. And Deputy Kincaid is nowhere to be found.

Even if it kills him… LONGARM ON THE BORDER The Mexicans claim it’s a Texas town. The Texans say it’s Mex. Los Perros. A tough, old cow-camp of border-jumpers and price-tagged rustlers—with a “hanging” sheriff of flexible sympathies. The Feds want it cleaned up, the cattle thieves flushed out, the vanished lawmen found. Only one man can do it…
