- by Aaron Kruse
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.

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.
