Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “Trumbo emerges from this well-rounded biography as a larger-than-life figure, not unlike the characters he scripted for the screen.” —Publishers Weekly James Dalton Trumbo is widely recognized as a screenwriter, playwright, and author, but he is also remembered as one of the Hollywood Ten who opposed the House Un-American Activities Committee. Refusing to answer questions about his prior involvement with the Communist Party, Trumbo sacrificed a successful career in Hollywood to stand up for his rights and defend political freedom. In Dalton Trumbo, Larry Ceplair and Christopher Trumbo present their extensive research on the famed writer, detailing his work; his membership in the Communist Party; his long campaign against censorship during the domestic cold war; his ten-month prison sentence for contempt of Congress; and his thirteen-year struggle to break the blacklist. The blacklist ended for Trumbo in 1960, when he received screen credits for Exodus and Spartacus. Just before his death, he received a long-delayed Academy Award for The Brave One, and in 1993, he was posthumously given another for Roman Holiday. This comprehensive biography, which includes excerpts of Trumbo’s letters, notes, and other writings, also provides insights into the notable people with whom Trumbo worked, including Stanley Kubrick, Otto Preminger, and Kirk Douglas, and a fascinating look at the life of one of Hollywood’s most prominent screenwriters and his battle against persecution.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Ranger Lives for the Hunt - The Outlaw Lives for the Killing - Now They Are About to Come Face to Face at Last. Arizona Ranger Sam Burrack is a man of courage with a lightning-quick draw. His goal is swift justice, and his aim is as sure as death. With a .58 caliber rifle behind his saddle and a list of outlaws next to his heart, he tracks his prey relentlessly, alone, and to the bitter end. No one under the badlands sun would put the Ranger’s skills to the test like Montana Red Hollis, a man more brutal than any beast and more cunning than any desperado the Ranger has ever hunted. No one is safe from the wrath of Montana Red and, until the Ranger took up the search, no one was brave enough to stop him. Now, on the high badlands where the fastest gun rules and only the strongest survive, a bloodthirsty killer is about to meet his match. From master storyteller Ralph Cotton comes an extraordinary story about lawmen and the lawless—and of gun justice in the rugged American West.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Old ways and new clash in head-on confrontation: When journeyman hit man Ray Dylan agrees to look in on Sami Bloom, former mistress of a deceased Canadian crime financier, he realizes he must keep his profession a secret. What he doesn’t realize is how difficult that is now that he has fallen for this warm-hearted beauty. While he struggles with the idea of confiding to her about his secret past, Dylan learns that Sami Bloom has some secrets of her own—and her secrets reach into the upper echelons of the very organization he works for. Add to that a greedy young criminal, who along with his thug-like bodyguard, poses a threat to Sami’s life, and secrets or no secrets, Dylan knows it’s time for bullets to fly. In Friend Of A Friend, Cotton paints a stark unapologetic portrait of modern American crime, both at its ruthless struggling-for-power street level, and at its more discreet, tight-lipped, yet equally deadly seats of authority. Cotton has a unique way of weaving the reader’s senses into the story. Known for fast-paced narrative and wry dark humor, Cotton takes inspiration for his stories from TV news and headlines. He creates a raw and colorful, almost desperate atmosphere around modern American culture, yet at some point, unexpectedly, leaves the reader with cause for hope.

Attracted by rumors and the profits of war, a strange assortment of characters—outlaws, loose women, lawmen, bounty hunters, preachers, and Washington attachés—lay in wait like vultures to pick the bones of the mighty Sioux Nation as it reels on the verge of extinction. In Old West Tradition, Powder River is a richly woven earth colored tapestry that brings together the best and worst of our Western Heritage. Like all western classics, the pages turn quickly and leave a lasting impression.

Book excerpt: Along the road to Paradise . . . “We can sympathize with a man being short on cash, times being such as they are.” He eyed Ellis’s horse and said, “We just lost our pack mule two days ago. I always say, a good riding animal is just as good as legal tender when a man finds himself in a spot.” “Funny, I always say that myself,” said Ellis, his hat against his chest. His smile remained as he continued to stand in silence, leaving the man unsure of what to say or do next. Finally the man cleared his throat and said, “So, if you have no cash, we’ll be obliged to take the animal off your hands.” “There he stands,” said Ellis, giving a nod toward the big bay. “Take him whenever you’re ready.” But in spite of his invitation, the riders made no move forward. Studying the resolve in Ellis’s cold gray eyes, the bearded man said, as if it had just dawned on him, “You’ve got a gun cocked behind that hat, don’t you?” “You can count on it,” said Ellis, his smile still showing beneath his broad dark mustache. *Preview of Ralph Cotton's Black Mesa at the end of this book.

Book excerpt: She moved her sights over to the parson, then to Evans, then to Muller. They fit the description Reese had given her before he died. These were the ones; if by some fluke they weren’t her attackers, her father’s killers, too bad, she thought. If that was the case, they had simply picked the wrong day to come calling. Her sights homed onto Muller, the one farthest away, the one most likely to get atop his horse and make a run for it. She rested the sights there and waited, breathing slowly, calmly. Strange, she thought, how not long ago she had looked for the slightest reason not to kill these men, these men who had violated her, who had taken her father’s life, and in that sense destroyed hers. But that had changed. Now, if they fit the description, or matched the names, or came close to doing either, she wanted them dead. The killing had begun. The quicker they were dead, the sooner she could live in a home of her own—something she’d never had. And more than that, she could hold her head up and live there in peace, like regular, everyday folks—something she’d never known. A tear glistened in her eye, but there was no time to wipe it away. She wouldn’t let it affect her aim. *Preview of Ralph Cotton's Wolf Valley at the end of this book.

He paused, took a breath and gave another glance at either end of the bar. Here goes, he said to himself, hoping he’d given Maria enough time to get into position near the empty window frame to back him up. But there was no time to wonder about it now. ‘‘I’m taking you to Fort Smith, Turnbaugh,’’ he said. Turnbaugh gave another dark chuckle. ‘‘Are you now?’’ he said in a cocky tone, as if it were all a joke. ‘‘Care to hear some numbers on how many twobit lawmen like you has tried that same thing?’’ ‘‘The numbers don’t matter,’’ said Sam, barely shaking his head. ‘‘You’re going with me. Don’t make me kill you.’’ *Preview of Ralph Cotton's Sabio's Redemption at the end of this book.

Complicating matters, Sheriff’s Deputy Price offered his own ‘reward,’ paid in advance, for Krey’s head, because Price was on the losing end of a love triangle—of sorts.

After robbing and pillaging a neighboring town, they soon come upon a way they think will weaken Dawson and leave and his town unprotected. But even the threat of violence against a loved-one now held hostage by the evil Walkers will not stop Dawson from doing what he knows a man with a badge and a gun must do ….

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Lawrence Shaw, aka Fast Larry, aka the Fastest Gun Alive, in this 4th book in the Gunman’s Reputation series, appears to have given up . . . but not just yet. First, he will take Rita Vargas to Willow Creek in search of William Bonney—the infamous Billy the Kid—who, unbeknownst to the Kid, is the father of her unborn child. On Shaw’s trail are gunmen hell-bent to leave him dead on the ground, not realizing that having people out to kill him might be the only thing that keeps “Fast Larry” alive. Lawrence Shaw had heard the thunder of horses’ hooves from the north trail long before the five riders slid the animals to a halt out front of the plank shack. He’d heard them stop suddenly, fifty yards away, and he’d pictured the riders sitting there discussing him in the pale purple darkness, deciding the best way to kill him. After a moment he’d heard the horses come forward again, this time slower, with stealth and deliberation. Oh, yes, they mean to kill me, Shaw told himself. . . . He did none of the things a man might do under such dire circumstances. Shaw had lost interest in such matters of life and death. They would arrive to kill him; but he would kill them instead. It was that simple. The matter deserved no deeper thought.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Killing Plain, Ralph Cotton displays the striking combination of gritty authenticity and lyrical beauty that has earned widespread critical acclaim. Ranger Sam Burrack has never had a partner before, but Hadley Jones has more than proven his mettle, and Burrack can tell they’re cut from the same cloth. But two lawmen might not be enough to stop Lonzo Greer and his Black Moon gang as they blaze a bloody trail of murder and destruction across Arizona Territory. Even worse, the cutthroats have a personal vendetta against the rangers for killing one of their own. If the straight-shooting peace officers aren’t careful, they might end up as vulture bait under the hot desert sun.
