- Gunder's Law
- by Aaron Kruse
Frontiersman Andy Gunder doesn’t know if there really is a Heaven, but for him his ranch in Wyoming is close enough. With his wife Sandy beside him, he’s making new friends, has the respect of neighbors, and he’s growing his businesses. Life is good.
But, even in Heaven, things can go wrong – and as usual, humans are behind it. A leisurely trip to Rock Springs to pick up supplies goes wrong when he crosses the son of the town banker and kills him. Then it turns out the Marshal there knows more than he’s telling about Andy. And a new silver strike in Andy’s hometown brings in some bad elements who just won’t listen to reason.
From a phony gold strike on his ranch to threatened exposure of Andy’s own past to a mysterious watcher who visits the ranch to spy, humans are again testing Andy’s patience. He does the best he can to avoid trouble. But when the threat turns to Sandy, it’s time to lay down the law.
Gunder’s Law.
Gunder’s Law is the second in the Andy Gunder series.

- The House
- by Aaron Kruse
What is the true nature of Hell?
Why do some go to Purgatory?
Must everybody pass through the nether realms?
Sometimes the dead don’t rest, especially when they have unfinished business among the living. If a debt is owed, the dead can sometimes make a deal to come back and collect.
What they pay for the chance depends on how badly they want to win.
But in a deal with the devil, you never really know all the details.
And you never win.

- River City Justice
- by Aaron Kruse
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.

Read Review
- "Thorns of a Red Rose" by RoseMeade
- by Virtuoso Book Distribution
This gruesome mystery takes place first in El Paso, Texas and then in Charleston with many of the characters living very horrific lives. You'll read some scenes that cause you to slam the book down... only to pick it up and begin again later. If you find yourself believing you have the plot figured out, continue to the next chapter. You will find that you may have missed one last detail. Our advice, don't read “Thorns of a Red Rose” while trying to fall asleep, unless you’re the type of reader that “just can’t put the book down.”
