Hell's Fire, a new novel featuring the Locke family, is now available on Amazon. This book includes many of the characters from my Medicine Wheel novel and features physician/veterinarian Thad Locke and “Crazy Kirsten” Cavelle. The novel is a stand-alone story, but a reading of Medicine Wheel first might enhance enjoyment.
The town of Medicine Wheel’s volunteer fire brigade and its Dalmatian dog play major roles in the action segments, and the reader may find this a different kind of Western—always one of my goals. The working title of Hell's Fire was Curse of the Kaw, but I do not write from an outline, and the curse failed to appear as the words added up. As the title implies, fire replaced the curse.
I have a nice start on my next novel, Cut Nose, a historical frontier story based on the Dakota War of 1862. Expect this one to be loaded with action and suspense. I think readers who enjoyed Grit and books from the Law Wranglers series will especially like this one. I expect this book to be my longest novel to date. I hope for release by late April or early May.
Book 5 of the Law Wranglers series should be next up after Cut Nose, probably for release mid-summer.
Thanks for your interest.
Good reading,
Ron Schwab
P. S. Occasionally readers ask about the availability of my novels as audiobooks. I'm pleased to announce that Tantor Media is releasing the Coyote Saga as audiobooks over the next couple of months. Night of the Coyoteis available now. Return of the Coyote and Twilight of the Coyote will follow later this month and in March.
