Butch is Published!


I'm so happy to report that Butch: A Bent Western has been published! Yes! Butch is absolutely one of my favorite fictional characters EVER! In fact, I'm not convinced she is fictional. So let me tell you this: If you don't like Westerns, it's not that kind of Western. If you like Westerns, you will find this a kind of magical realist Western. If you don't like historicals, don't worry: It ain't that kind of historical. If you do like historicals, the story takes place 100 years ago, so it might have enough feeling of a historical for you. If you don't like mysteries, it ain't that kind of mystery, but Butch has quite a few mysteries on her plate. And come on: Who doesn't like a good mystery? Mostly it's a good story with a fabulous crew of people. It's funny and moving, and I hope you enjoy it!

Here's from the cover blurb:

Santa Tierra, New Mexico, 1918

Anything can happen in the weird and wonderful town of Santa Tierra where Butch McLean protects the residents of Wayward Ranch, finds lovin’ in the arms and up the skirts of her beloved Angel, and keeps one step ahead of the possibly supernatural jaguar who may or may not be stalking her. Come hell or high water, Butch will rescue any dude or damsel in distress with humor and aplomb.

But when Angel dumps her (for a man, no less), a wounded stranger stumbles into town, and the deputy is murdered, Butch may have more mysteries on her hands than even she can solve. Especially since she is suddenly plagued by memories of the terrible childhood years she spent at St. Anne’s Home for Wayward Boys. And to top it all off, she becomes obsessed with finding her prostitute mother’s suicide note.

Butch is not accustomed to being haunted by anything—and she is not interested in ruminating about her life—but now even the animals who cross her path tell her a time of reckoning is near. And when the mystery of the dead deputy leads to revelations about Butch’s own parentage, she might just have a shot at solving the greatest mystery of all: Who is she and why did her mother end up at the end of a rope?
