Boggs, Western Writers Hall of Fame author RAWHIDE ROBINSON RIDES A WORMHOLE: The True Tale of Bravery and Daring in the Weird West Extraordinary things often happen to ordinary cowboy Rawhide Robinson. While riding herd on a ranch in the remote Nevada desert, a lightning strike zaps him into the middle of the twentieth century and the middle of Area 51, a top-secret experimental airbase where strange things are said to happen. A chance encounter with Eric, a young teenager, helps the discombobulated cowboy escape the clutches of military police, the CIA, and local law enforcement, and gets him mixed up in a kidnapping by Las Vegas mobsters. All the while, Rawhide Robinson entertains with his signature tall tales as he wonders if he will ever get out of the modern world and back to the Old West. “Move over Pecos Bill. Step aside Bunyan, and take that mangy blue ox with you. There’s a new man riding the range, a teller of tales as tall as the Rocky Mountains and as slick as a goose on grease. His name is Rawhide Robinson.” —Michael Zimmer, Wrangler and Spur Award-winning author

SPUR AWARD-WINNING AUTHOR ROD MILLER On a lonely road in a remote desert stands a roadhouse. Formerly a home station on a now abandoned stagecoach route, it is the only source of water and supplies for miles. Accommodations are crude and coarse, the hospitality rough and raw, the proprietor boorish and vulgar. Travelers are few and far between, and almost all must stop for water—which comes at a price. A mounted mail carrier who visits the roadhouse with some regularity suspects there is more to the place than meets the eye, and he comes to believe that for some travelers the roadhouse is the end of the road… All My Sins Remembered is destined to join the ranks of the frontier classic. Here is suspense as taut as freshly strung barbed wire, rock-solid period detail, and an emotional roller-coaster ride set against a West that is both historically accurate and stunningly immediate. Rod Miller does what only a handful of writers have ever done: make you care about (and even perhaps root for) an astonishingly evil man. —Loren D. Estleman Western Writers Hall of Fame author One of the more powerfully haunting novels to come along in years, Miller’s All My Sins Remembered stands shoulder to shoulder with such literary classics as Cormac McCarthy’s Blood Meridian and Charles Frazier’s Cold Mountain. A brutal, beautifully rendered masterpiece, guaranteed to stay with you long after the last page is turned. —Michael Zimmer Winner of the Spur Award and Western Heritage Wrangler Award It is not by chance that Rod Miller has taken his title, All My Sins Remembered, from Shakespeare’s Hamlet for this novel. Comparable to the Bard, his book is about madness—with Biblical dimensions. —True West magazine

Whether wearing a black hat, a white hat, or some shade of gray, Warner outlived the Old West but never abandoned its wild and wooly ways.

Book Description
SPUR AWARD-WINNING AUTHOR ROD MILLER With a Kiss I Die is a love story entwined in the tragedy of the Mountain Meadows Massacre. Polly Alden, a young California-bound Arkansas emigrant, falls in love with Tom Langford, a Mormon boy she meets in the settlements of Utah Territory. Caught between the fear and hatred of the persecuted Saints for the emigrants, and the hostility of the emigrants toward Mormons who will not replenish their dwindling supplies, the young lovers defy mistrust and opposition as they aspire to a life together. Follow the trail of the Arkansas emigrants and the blossoming affection of the star-crossed lovers in a compelling, engaging tale inspired by history—and the eternal conflict between good and evil, hatred and love. “With his moving story of young love between a Mormon boy and an Arkansas girl, Rod Miller adds heart to a 165-year-old American tragedy. Set against the background of the infamous Mountain Meadows Massacre, With A Kiss I Die brings to life the chilling tale of one of the West’s most brutal acts of revenge.” —Sandra Dallas, New York Times best-selling author “I like Rod Miller’s writing. He writes with assurance. Mainly I like Rod’s writing because he belongs to the “Go Big or Go Home” School, a curriculum I subscribe to, as well. In With a Kiss I Die, he tackles the still-sensitive story of the 1857 Mountain Meadows Massacre in nervous, riled, frightened, trigger-happy Utah Territory. Give it a read. Make up your own mind. If you can.” —Carla Kelly Winner of Spur, Whitney, and RITA Awards

Book Description
SPUR AWARD-WINNING AUTHOR ROD MILLER It is 1840. The fur trade has all but ended and trappers in Taos feel the pinch. With a band of Ute Indians, they follow the Old Spanish Trail to California to steal horses and mules, then return and reap the profits in Santa Fe. The unprecedented raid results in the theft of some 3,000 animals. Daniel Boone Pickens, a young man on the run from the law in Missouri and in search of a future, signs on for the adventure. Nooch, a young Ute, follows the leader of his band to prove his worth as a warrior. A young vaquero from California, Juan Medina, finds himself involved more from circumstance than choice. Along the trail, the young men forge bonds that surpass race and culture as they face hunger and thirst, fire and flood, bullet and blade. And together they grieve the deaths of more than a thousand of the stolen horses and mules on a mad dash across the dry and desolate Mojave Desert. Based on the real-life exploits of mountain men “Pegleg” Smith, “Old Bill” Williams, and Jim Beckwourth with Ute leader Wakara, A Thousand Dead Horses dramatizes conflicts in the evolving Old West.
