by Cotton Smith
—True West Magazine
“Hats off to Cotton Smith for keeping the spirit of the West alive in today’s fiction. His plots are as twisted as a gnarled juniper, his prose as solid as granite, and his characters ring as true as jinglebobs on a cowboy’s spurs.”
—Johnny D. Boggs, Wrangler and Spur Award–winning author of Camp Ford
“These days, the traditional Western doesn’t get much better than Cotton Smith.”
—Roundup Magazine
“When it came to literature, middle-age had only three good things to show me: Patrick O’Brian, Larry McMurtry and Cotton Smith.”
—Jay Wolpert, screenwriter of The Count of Monte Cristo and Pirates of the Caribbean
“From his vivid descriptions of a prairie night to his hoof-pounding action scenes, Cotton Smith captures the look and feel of the real West.”
—Mike Blakley, Spur Award–winning author of Summer of Pearls
“Acclaimed novelist Cotton Smith is a Western legend.”
