Rustle Up Some Westerns, Partner!

     This week I have decided to feature three of our new western novels from the Large Print collection.

   Shawn O’Brien, Town Tamer is a western novel by William W. Johnstone with J. A. Johnstone. Not content to settle down on the family ranch in the New Mexico territory; Shawn O’Brien has a great deal of the wanderer in him. He also has a lightning-fast draw, eagle eyes, and a heightened sense of justice. Shawn has been making a reputation for himself all over the West by taking the most dangerous and lawless towns and making them safe for the good, honest citizens to live in peace. When Shawn is stranded in Holy Rood, Utah after a stagecoach accident, he doesn’t take long to realize he’s landed in one of the most vicious towns in the territory. He’s not worried though; after all, Shawn O’Brien is the town tamer.

   The Devil’s Posse is a novel by Charles G. West. Logan and Billy Cross have worked the same cattle drive since they were teenagers and have gained a reputation as being the most dependable of workers. Unfortunately, their boss has decided to retire and the brothers are soon to be out of a job. So the boys aren’t left twisting in the wind, the boss man sends them up to Fort Pierre in the Dakota Territory so they can join a horse drive to Sturgis. On their way to meet their prospective boss, Billy smiles at the wrong woman and draws the ire of Quincy Morgan and his gang of desperados.

     Shotgun Charlie is a Ralph Compton Novel by Matthew P. Mayo. Charlie Chilton is a young and naïve drifter who happens to be big for his age. Charlie is taken in by the leader of a band of small-time crooks who sees something of himself in the kindly, restless youth. When shady character Grady Haskell joins the gang and convinces them to pursue the biggest score of their lives, Charlie fails to thwart the heist and it turns bloody. Unfortunately, Charlie is the only gang member to be caught alive and he is sentenced to hang to the crime. Determined to prove his innocence, Charlie must escape, track down Haskell and the gang, and bring them to justice before he loses his own life.
