Excerpt from Chapter Two of Buffalo Hump

   While he was in the cabin, Jack decided a cup of hot coffee wouldn’t

hurt. Besides that, he had at least a day left before Pete was due back from

the Seven Devils. There was no rush to dig anywhere else but the streambed.

   He contemplated pulling the sluice box from beside the mine and putting it near the spring, but joked to himself that he might as well get used to

enjoying his new-found life of leisure.

   Someone had a different idea. Jack wasn’t paying attention when he

came back around the corner of the cabin, heading to the stream. His
thoughts were consumed by the gold and he made noise like a city slicker,
banging the pick against the pan and padding heavily along on the ground.

   Of course, being the only human within twenty miles didn’t lend to

feeling a need for being quiet, but nature has a way of making you pay for your transgressions.

A God-awful scream jerked Jack’s eyes from the ground in front of him to the streambed. His startled body reacted to the scream with a shiver that ran down his back like a lightning bolt. Before him stood an angry-looking

momma cougar between him and her two cubs that scrambled up the

12

hill. Her ears were laid back flat against her head and her teeth looked like

giant daggers protruding from her jaws. She was back on her haunches and
her long tail flipped like a super-charged fly swatter. If Jack hadn’t been so
scared, he would have been thoroughly impressed with watching Mother
Nature at work.

   All he could think to do was raise his pick and hold the pan out like a

poor imitation of a gladiator’s shield before ever…so…slowly backing off
from the big cat. Her low, guttural growls synchronized with each of his
movements. Her eyes were locked onto his implements. He couldn’t
remember if you were or weren’t supposed to look cougars in the eye. It
didn’t matter. He was trying to stay on his feet backing up, so he spent most
of his time watching the ground anyhow.

Book Cover

Published by Champagne Books as an Ebook due out December 2012.

Here comes another one!

For those of you who like western Indian tribes, you might like the new book I'm working on now. It centers around the Mountain Shosone Tribe north of Yellowstone - the Sheepeaters - in a present day story about a young ranch hand named Eli Washakie, named after a famous Shosone Chief.

Of course there's trouble afoot and Washakie's got to help his boss, Sourdough Severson overcome big hurdles to survive and save his herd inspite of an incompetent Sheriff. Washakie will have to use everything he learned growing up. His boss isn't exactly the shy, retiring type either. Between the two of them, they have stepped up their odds to that of a snowball's chance in Hell, but don't count out Jethro, Percy and Queenie to whittle them down even more.

New Manuscript Drafted

Finished my first draft manuscript of "Hollow Point" yesterday afternoon. It's a short fiction of modern lore, dealing with a drug ring and the Suquamish tribe on the Port Madison Indian Reservation. More information as it becomes available!
