The Sheriff of San Lucas

The Sheriff of San Lucas is much more than just a western novel. It is an action packed story of the old west that uses actual places for a background so real that it can actually be followed on a map.
From the savage deeds of vicious killers, to the gentle love for others, the characters travel through the touching and exciting adventures they share. The characters, though fictional, are based on people and personalities the author has actually known.
It is a book about life and death in the Old West, as rugged people struggle to overcome the violence and greed of those lawless people that infested it.
It is the story of men who were brave enough, and angry enough, to face them, and the brave and hardy women who stood by their sides and still managed to fulfill their roles as sweethearts, wives, and mothers.
The book adheres to, and describes, the methods and procedures available and used at the time, including the early railroads and means of travel; even the guns are described.
The story mixes touching and heart rending emotion with humor as it follows the players in the saga from Denver Colorado, to the Pacific Ocean, with references to actual events in Missouri during the civil war.
It is a novel, and not a history book, but every part is based on things the author knows can, and in many cases did, happen. The book gives the reader a close look at not only the ways of the old west, but the emotions and motivations of those who lived there.
When the story is over, the book does not end...The touching philosophy will be remembered long after the book is finished, and the deep thoughts and emotions will live on in the memory of the reader.
It is powerful, and unforgettable.
