Have you ever wondered where hard boiled detectives come from? In the Jackson Hole Mysteries series we follow Tom Thompson from a recently sober and lachrymose small town cop to the man that killers fear the most—an armed man who is completely unafraid to die, and unafraid to pull the trigger first. In the first book of the series, Murder in Jackson Hole, Detective Tommy Thompson of the Teton County Wyoming Sheriff's office is introduced as a newly sober “country cop” working in an idyllic place visited by millions of tourists in search of a corner of America untouched by the rush of modern life. Serious crime is rare and Tom is pretty bored with his life now that he has quit drinking and gone through a mostly-amicable divorce. But the advent of an oil boom attended by serious drug trafficking opens Jackson Hole 's quiet community to the evils of a wider world. And a newly sober and naive Deputy Thompson finds himself at the heart of it.

Murder in Mixteca

Gib: A Contemporary Western is the story of the passing of a generation of men who suffered the Great Depression, fought in WWII and Korea, then lived to mourn the greatest threat yet to their way of life - the gentrification of the West. It is also the story of a ranching family's struggle to save the home ranch, and their share of the threatened ranching culture.

Gib: A Contemporary Western

James "Snuffy" Johnson wakes up two days before the Christmas Eve dance with his whole life planned around his engagement to the daughter of a neighboring homesteader. If you want to hear God chuckle, it is said, tell him your plans. That Christmas of 1926, the young man's path leads him far afield, where he demonstrates to a frightened boy the Christian teaching that charity - the giving of one's self - is the greatest gift of all. And Snuffy, in turn, gets a Christmas present from Jesus greater than any he could have dreamed for himself.
