Folks, we're excited to announce that our first book is almost ready. The rough draft is nearly wrapped, the proofreading is underway, and the printers are warming up. From the beginning, Gun Tales has been written with a different standard in mind. The goal has been to tell stories that hold up against time itself. A number of readers have asked the same thing: when will you write a book? That idea came up often enough that we decided to take it seriously.

“The Land of Thirst,” better known as the Karoo, sits in the southern region of South Africa. It’s amazing how so much of this country near Cradock reminds me of my home in far West Texas. Steep desert mountains, rock-littered ground, red soil, and thorny vegetation. If the acacia trees were replaced with mesquites, you’d hardly notice the difference.

There were those who preferred the Smith & Wesson Model 3 and others who sang the praises of the Remington sixguns, or the Merwin & Hulbert guns, to name just a few. Another revolver that probably doesn’t get its share of the credit is the Colt Bisley single action.
