Sky Blue


Book Description

The exciting tale of a young gambler, a horse, and the bond that will change the both of them forever. Hoping to make a man out of him, Alfred Larribee’s father sends his son to live with his cousin’s family out West. Alfred is lazy and listless, and spends his early days there drinking, gambling, and doing everything he can to avoid his share of work. Everything changes with the appearance of Sky Blue, a magnificent stallion that seemingly can’t be ridden and has seriously injured one of the few willing to try. But to everyone’s astonishment, Larribee is able to bond with the horse, mount him, and ride him with ease. Josiah Ransome is already at odds with Larribee over his gambling when the woman he hopes to marry bets her emerald ring that Larribee will not able to ride Sky Blue. When the opportunity presents itself, Ransome turns to sabotage, placing a burr under the horse’s saddle. When Larribee mounts the stallion again he is viciously thrown off, and Sky Blue flees off into the desert. Larribee sets out on a mission, blazing a trail through dangerous Indian territory to find Sky Blue and return the horse to its home. Sky Blue is the story of Larribee’s journey into the wild frontier, and a captivating Western from one of the genre’s all-time greats!

Hurricane Season


Book Description

Key West is the end of the world for some. A variety of people come to the island for an assortment of reasons. Our reason, aside from celebrating Reno's bachelor party, was to experience 'Margaritaville', not the bar - but that place in your mind or dreams where everything is perfect. The sun always shines, the people are always happy, there is no business talk and your worries simply drift away. Every day is a holiday and every meal is a feast. This is a place where you can escape. The sun energizes the soul, nighttime elevates the heartbeat, laughter fills the air, and you end up talking for hours with your friends you brought along or just met. You fall asleep to the sound of the sea quietly rushing in and out and awake to the sound of seagulls and the smell of sea salt. That's why we found ourselves walking down Duval Street that night. It was all present here, at least that is how we envisioned our journey to the Southern Zone. We were wrong.
