Welcome to another entry in our WESTERN ROUNDUP GIVEAWAY HOP. Prizes are offered at each participating blog (there are 18 of us), so comment here and then head over to each of the other participating blogs and comment there to be eligible for other prizes.
Here at A WRITER'S LIFE, I'm giving away three ebooks of GABE KINCAID and THE MOST UNSUITABLE COURTSHIP, two of KATIE AND THE IRISH TEXAN, and I'm adding two of JUDGE NOT, the story for today. Winners will be announced on August 1st.
Elsie Parry and her eight mules survived the war, but can they escape the wrath of the Danby Gang? She lived alone for five years after the Recent Unpleasantness and was overcome with happiness to be reunited with her father. Now, his fondest desire is to leave all the bad memories behind and see the Pacific Ocean, so she agreed to head west. All’s well until they approach Wolf Creek, where they’re set upon by the notorious gang of ex-Confederate guerrillas… intent on proving the war is not over, after all.
This is not Ms Rogers’ first story involving mules. She has several books in which a mule becomes a secondary character. My favorite is MUCH ADO ABOUT MARSHALS, with a to-die-for leading man and a secondary character who rides a mule—a racing mule.
But this is about JUDGE NOT: THE MULESKINNERS #1. This story first appeared in the anthology HELL ON THE PRAIRIE, written by Jacquie Rogers and several other members of a western group called Western Fictioneers. This story is only 10,000 words, 38 pages, published by Western Trail Blazer. Don’t be deluded by the length. Ms Rogers packs a lot of adventure and a dose of her special sense of humor into this story. At only 99 cents, readers have a bargain!
First, choosing any book or story by Ms Rogers is a wise choice. In addition to fast-paced western adventure, romance, and a wry way with humor, Ms Rogers’ books offer readers a well-researched plot that always delivers a satisfying read. As you can tell, I am one of her fans and have been for years. I’m also a member of her Facebook group, PICKLE BARREL BAR AND BOOKS, and receive her newsletter, THE PICKLE BARREL GAZETTE.
I give JUDGE NOT: THE MULESKINNERS #1 a five star rating and believe readers will share my opinion. I also urge readers to dive into her Hearts of Owyhee (Idaho) series, beginning with MUCH ADO ABOUT MARSHALS. You can purchase the book at multiple sites. Here is the link for Amazon:
