- Nightriders of the Double Spur
- by Louis Rigsbee
Tom Grigsby rode into Clay Creek looking for answers but he wasn't getting much cooperation. The Double Spur accused the Tripple B of rustling and the Triple B was hiring gunmen. But the ranch losing the most cattle to rustlers was the Triple B. Somebody had to do something or the entire valley was going to be involved in a range war.
Grigsby had seen too much fighting. He was ready to hang up his gun - but he owed a debt to the Double Spur. He had a hunch who was doing the rustling, but what he needed was hard facts. He knew only one way to get them, so he strapped on his gun and headed out into the night.

- Spirit Walks
- 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 that the meek shall inherit the earth and love conquers all, and Andy believes that’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 a band of Crow Indians escapes the reservation and returns 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 family has.
The adventure that 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.

You can’t appease a bully.
– 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.

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.
