John D. Nesbitt Author: Trouble at the Redstone Published: October 1, 2008 by Dorachester Publishing After having written a couple of pensive, atypical westerns with Death at Dark Water and Lonesome Range, interspersed with the crossover western-mysteries featuring Jimmy Clevis, I thought it would be a good idea to try my hand again with a more traditional fast-action western. The result was Trouble at the Redstone. Click for more info. |
