- The House
- by Aaron Kruse
“They say the dead don’t rest without a marker.”
– High Plains DrifterWhat 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.

- 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 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.
