The Grand Adventure Begins. Gregory knew they hunted him, but did they have the horses to see it through? He doubted it, but soon the answer would be known. He neared the brink of completing a mournful poem that had bedeviled him for a fortnight. And once done, he would again ride out and give test to their mettle. Gregory gazed into the raftered reaches of the hall and thought of home. An autumn gust rattled the shutters, candles flickered, and somewhere out there, they waited. He lit a stub of Frankincense, dipped his quill into the inkwell, and hunched over the golden sheet of parchment.

Poetry

Welcome to Saddlebag Dispatches, Where Stories Of The West Come To Be Told. If you like stories of the Old West, you've come to the right place. But we don't just tell stories of the Old West. If your tale takes place west of Mississippi and has the spirit of the Old West in it-even if it involves pickups and highways instead of horses and dusty trails-we want to see it. As long as it speaks to rugged individualism and a frontier way of thinking, it belongs here. In addition to fiction, we publish the best nonfiction about the west as well as poetry, interviews and...well, pretty much anything to do with the west. Are you getting the idea we like things western? In each issue, you'll find news about personalities, events, and the latest tales from a variety of authors, many of whom New York has thumbed its nose at. But that doesn't mean they're low quality. We all know what New York is like, right? We have our standards, and they're in good hands with our editor-in-chief Dusty Richards, a two-time Spur Award winner. So c'mon in and sit a spell. We think you'll like it here.

Never Love a Stranger

Never Love A Stranger

Based on a $100 bet with his boss that he couldn't write a novel, Harold Robbins penned his first book, Never Love a Stranger. Not only did Robbins win the bet, the novel became a bestseller, was adapted into the classic noir gangster film of the same name starring John Barrymore and Steve McQueen, and launched the career of one of the world's best-selling authors of all time. Never Love a Stranger, still considered one of Robbins' most powerful books, tells the story of Francis "Frankie" Kane, an orphan growing up in the dirty world of New York's Hell's Kitchen. After being kicked out of a Catholic orphanage when it is discovered that he is of Jewish descent, a confused and deeply distraught Frankie turns to a life of crime. It's the only life he knows, and he's good at it. Frankie quickly makes a name for himself and becomes one of New York's most dangerous men, ruling the city with an iron fist and indulging in his passion for sex, power and the best things in life -regardless of whether they're for sale. But Frankie's childhood friend, Jerry, grows to become a tough-as-nails district attorney-determined to bring Frankie down. More than 25 New York Times bestsellers later-many reaching the #1 spot-and with over 750 million copies sold to date, Robbins became one of the most successful authors of all time. This is the novel that started it all-giving the world its first taste of Robbins' world of sex, corruption, and intrigue.

Thrillers & Suspense

Mennonite farm boy Lance Roark’s faith is as big as the challenges he faces on his family’s drought-ravaged Dust Bowl spread on the old Chisholm Trail. He can also run over, around, and away from people on the football field and is a natural-born aviator. These abilities lead him to college gridiron glory and bring him into contact with famed aviators Charles Lindbergh and Wiley Post, entertainment icons Will Rogers and Bing Crosby, best-selling young author John F. Kennedy, and President Franklin Roosevelt. 
As war clouds gather across the seas, Lance finds romance first with teenaged Chickasaw cowgirl and stunt flying sensation Sadie Stanton, then with beautiful oil heiress Mary Katherine Murchison, whose mesmerizing voice carries her to the heights of Big Band Era stardom. Nearly all of this crashes against his pious, peaceable ways. And it leads him into the dangerous world of America First, the Lindbergh-led organization that opposes the popular Roosevelt’s covert drive toward American involvement in World War II, now ablaze in both Europe and the Pacific. 
When the Japanese attack Pearl Harbor, Lance, with his lifelong commitment never to raise his hand against another human being, faces his ultimate decision—whether to accept command of a B-17 Flying Fortress in which he would face, and inflict, mass slaughter in Nazi-occupied Europe amidst history’s most fearsome war.

A Savage Grace

After being convicted of thirteen barbarous murders--including that of his pregnant wife--Eric Adair has been sentenced to spend the remainder of his life alone in a cell at the Institute for the Criminally Insane. The only problem is that Eric hasn't been alone in a very long time.
Eric's soul has been possessed by an ancient demon who has spent years twisting the young man's mind, forcing him into actions that satisfy his own evil whims... urges that have long gone unsated with Eric's incarceration. But now the demon is looking for a new soul to corrupt... and wants Eric's help to do it.
Lenore Maine is a beautiful young woman, haunted by her mother's death. Those around her share Lenore's fear that the madness she believes runs in her family is now coming for her. But her mother's death may not be the only thing haunting her nights. Are her dreams of passion and pain real, or is Lenore plagued by something worse than she ever imagined? And will Lenore succumb to the horrors of possession or does she alone have the strength to bring an end to the demon's long reign of terror? 
And what will become of Eric in the process? Will the demon keep his promise to release Eric in exchange for Lenore or will his soul be damned forever?
