When Terror Stalks the Texas Plains, Law and Justice Have Two Different Meanings.
Kidnapping. Revenge. Terror. When Saddler County Sheriff Dell Hoffman is forced to kill a teenage ruffian in self-defense, he has no idea the incident will spark a blood feud with the boy's father, the vicious leader of a local band of outlaws. In retaliation, the gang kidnaps Dell's wife, Guinn, while Rose Parsons-now serving as interim sheriff in a neighboring town-is visiting their home. Leaving Rose for dead, they turn to tearing up town after town, destroying property and lives in a quest to force Dell into a deadly confrontation. Out of options and under the gun, Dell and Rose join forces once again, putting together a posse with enough strenght to take on the gang and rescue Guinn. Little do they know that behind all the sound and fury beneath the hot summer sun lay a far bigger threat-a man in the shadows with a bigger plan in mind. Will Rose and Dell find Guinn before it's too late? Can they stop the gang from demolishing the next town in it's path? Or will the dark puppetmaster behind it all beat them to the punch and destroy all they hold dear?
Full to the brim with desperate outlaws and deadly shootouts on the heated plains of the Texas Panhandle, Texas Fury will leave you breathless and on the edge of your seat, turning pages long into the night.
Brotherton, Velda: - Velda Brotherton wrote from her home perched on the side of a mountain against the Ozark National Forest. Branded as Sexy, Dark and Gritty, her work embraces the lives of gutsy women and heroes who are strong enough to deserve them. After a stint writing for a New York publisher, she settled comfortably in with small publishers to produce novels in several genres and mentoring scores of up-and-coming writers before passing away in March, 2023.
Richards, Dusty: - Dusty Richards grew up riding horses and watching his western heroes on the big screen. He even wrote book reports for his classmates, making up westerns since English teachers didn't read that kind of book. His mother, though, didn't want him to be a cowboy, so he went to college, then worked for Tyson Foods and auctioned cattle when he wasn't an anchor on television.His lifelong dream, though, was to write the novels he loved. He sat on the stoop of Zane Grey's cabin and promised he'd one day get published, as well. In 1992, that promise became a reality when his first book, Noble's Way, hit the shelves. In the years since, he's published over 160 more, winning nearly every major award for western literature along the way. His 150th novel, The Mustanger and the Lady, was adapted for the silver screen and released as the motion picture Painted Woman in 2017. In a review for the movie, True West magazine proclaimed Dusty "the greatest living western fiction writer alive." Sadly, Dusty passed away in early 2018, leaving behind a legion of fans and a legacy of western writing that will live on for generations.
