Wyoming, in the 1890s, is still a rough and dangerous place. If most of the Indians are on reservations, horse thieves and bandits still roam the countryside, and it’s no place for the weak-willed or the squeamish.
Wyoming rancher Andy Gunder, protecting his family and ranch, does whatever is necessary and raises his son the same way. Even at seven years old, Samuel is an apt student, and Andy figures he’ll do alright on the frontier. The preacher still teaches the meek shall inherit the earth and love conquers all, and Andy believes it’s just plain foolish, but Samuel seems to have found a way to balance the two views and Andy’s very proud of his son.
When Crow Indians leave the reservation and return to the mountains seeking their ancestral way of life, they challenge young Samuel harshly and his parents beyond anything the family has ever seen; Andy and Sandy’s love becomes the only chance the boy has.
The adventure which follows provides a whole new outlook on life. Andy still knows the meek aren’t going to inherit much of anything, but sometimes, love does conquer all.
Spirit Walks is the third in the Andy Gunder series. Look also for Gunder’s Bride and Gunder’s Law.

At first, the death of Patty Masterson looks like nothing more sinister than the suicide of a woman overcome by shock at the loss of her son in a tragic accident. But the careful work of one very conscientious medical examiner, and Deputy Sheriff Cici Burns’ own detective work, soon convince Cici it was really murder.
The trouble is…who would want her dead? Her obviously distraught husband seems an unlikely candidate, although he collected a nice insurance payment after the death of the son and stands to collect again from her death. Her brother? He needs money to start his own business, and seems to control the husband. And, when he sees something he thinks needs doing, he just does it without a second thought or a look back. Her first husband is another wild card. He is snake-mean and might have decided it was time to pay Bobby Masterson back for the beating Bobby gave him, and the wife Bobby took away from him.
Fortunately, Cici has allies in the form of one experienced old sheriff and the chief forensics investigator. Unfortunately, she’s soon an object of interest for the dead woman’s brother. Romance, or a quest for information? Or worse? Someone’s taking a night-time interest in her home and vehicle. Is there a link with the dead woman, or the series of robberies she’s investigating? Or the woman’s brother?
And at what point did someone’s interest turn deadly?River City Justice is the first in the River City series. Look for the second book in the series, River City Ambush.
