Jury of Six is a steadily moving western set against the backdrop of 1880 Nebraska. Families like the MacMahons were the backbone of the developing west. It was a time when the law was spread thin and honest men and women took care of difficulties in black and white. Good men were respected; bad men were dealt with by the law of rope and gun . . . For eight years the disappearance of Niobrara ranchers Owen and Aiden MacMahon remained a mystery. When an outlaw gang begins running roughshod over the country leaving another MacMahon for dead, the hard-as-nails MacMahons go hunting for those responsible only to find an old enemy and the answer to the eight-year-old mystery.

Eli Warren didn't consider himself a bounty hunter. He hunted outlaws like some men hunted wolves or mountain lions. The bounties he collected were simply payments rendered to a workman, and he was a man good at his work. Under Eli's flint-hard exterior, that was merciless to outlaws, ran a wide streak of kindness that showed itself the day he picked up a starving orphan in Dodge City and took him along. He soon learned that the twelve-year-old Rob Slater harbored a common intent with him - to run down the elusive Parson gang. He for the $10,000 reward, and Rob, because Jude Parson had murdered his family. Rob asked Eli to teach him the trade so one day he could look Jude Parson in the eye and square things with the killer. Under Eli's tutorage the two came to hold the outlaw world in fear until the day Eli honored his brother's dying request and took his young daughter into his care touching off a series of unexpected changes that would forever mold their futures.

Nineteen-year-old Dane Chandler rode away from his father’s grave with one intention – to kill the man who had murdered him over a maverick yearling. As he left behind his home, his place on the Branson Ranch and, most importantly, the girl he had planned to marry, his father’s best friend left him with a prophecy and a light, ‘The time will come when you will see the error of this decision. You will be lost in an endless night, but dusk comes before the night, Dane remember that. Before the night, when dusk falls, remember the way home.’ The next two years found Dane living the life of a gunfighter, hired gun, and professional gambler. Then came the day in Denver when he found himself lost in that endless night and knew it was time to put up the gun and go home, yet it was not to be that easy. There was still one more fight and the final showdown with the man who had once been his partner and his best friend.

When Dusk Falls

‘Mercenary,’ ‘Gun for hire,’ and ‘Most dangerous man in Montana’ were the saloon and barber shop rumors about Virgil Creede, but the real man, whom they didn’t know, lived by a personal code with very high standards. Anyone bent on harming women or families went against that code, and for that reason Dora Pickett sought him out. Merciless Chicago underworld boss Jerome Pickett had set up business in gold-rich Helena, Montana dealing in money and murder. When he targets his own son for execution, Dora asks Virgil to help her innocent brother and his family escape their father’s retaliation. He accepted the job. As Jerome Pickett learned, Montana wasn’t Chicago, and Creede didn’t play by Chicago rules, he made up his own. When Dora joins forces with Virgil to buck the tiger against a vicious crime syndicate she comes to understand that there is much more to the mysterious Virgil Creede than a gun.

Buck the Tiger

Devon Macleod awoke staring at the swaying pines rising into the sky above him. He had been shot, his outfit stolen and he didn’t know why. When the tough old widow Abby Chaney found him half-dead on her Bitter Grass ranch and got him home, she swung Macleod’s future into an unexpected direction. He learned that Abby and her daughter Katy were hanging on by threads to their ranch in the Strawberry Mountains. They were pressed from the south by tyrant Charles Sampson, who wanted their rich summer pastures, and from the north by timber man Egert Taylor, who wanted the Bitter Grass timber, both of whom were willing to kill the women to get it. Never one to back down from a fight or forget a favor done him, Macleod wanted two things: to find those who had bushwhacked him and get his outfit back, and repay the Chaneys for saving his life. None of them knew how much their worlds were about to change the day Macleod buckled on his gun and stepped into the Bitter Grass fight – least of all Devon Macleod.

He has achieved prominence in his adopted Apsaalooke village as White Grizzly, war chief, and a member of the Council. War hangs over the Powder and Bighorn River country with the Cheyenne and Arapaho nations joining the Lakota to fight the onslaught of white migration, and the hated bluecoat soldiers over the treaty-breaking Bozeman Road. The Apsaalooke were content to let their enemy, the Lakota, struggle with the soldiers until an Army company out of Fort Phil Kearny attacks White Grizzly’s village hurling them into the war. Due to his knowledge of the white man’s world the Council looks to White Grizzly for direction in fighting the soldiers. Between his concerns for his family, a son gone insane becoming renegade, and the realization that the world they knew is rapidly disappearing, Andre struggles to find answers for the present, and what their impact will be on the ominous future facing them. With war looming over them, Andre makes the journey to the Poudre Canyon to leave the women and children of his family in the safe care of his brother, Jean.
