Hank James

Ex-Gold Miner Caught in Power Struggle in Exciting Western In the 1880s, gold miners flooded the West trying to make their fortune. A few actually made a living. Realizing that the life of a miner isn't as rewarding or romantic as he expected, Hank James is ready to quit panning for gold in British Columbia and look for other opportunities. When he hears a prizefight will be fought in town, he attends, and with the help of the fight referee, wins big betting on the bout. At the urging of that same referee who is also a British Columbia Provincial Police constable, Hank takes his winnings and heads for a new job, hauling freight with pack horses for contractors building the transcontinental railroad. Having entered BC, those supplying security for railroad construction, the North West Mounted Police are now at odds with the local authority, the BC Provincial Police As two opposing factions of the police fight for control of the project, including sales of liquor, Hank tries to steer clear of their turf war. While the police are fighting their own battles, no one is looking for the real crooks, particularly those stealing Hank's horses. Does he need to take the law into his own hands? This action-packed Western really delivers. "I've never had so much fun reading history" ….. T. Morden "The Great Liquor War is a wake-up call for the senses. Forget trying to live in the moment … you'' be there." ….. G. Wandling

We WILL build something here! (Book 2 in the Hank James series) While we were dealing with the attempted train robbery, what happened to Sharon? Claiming your share of the so called "free" land in the rugged and wide Canadian frontier in the 1880s was a difficult, demanding task. Meeting the government requirements, registration, avoiding land awarded to the railroad, improving the land registered with cultivation, fencing and buildings while still managing to feed you and yours. When someone tries to run roughshod over the "nesters" increasing the workload and demands, its time to take a stand. There is more than bad weather for Hank James to contend with as he rides in search of the land of his dreams and the woman of his heart. Portis Martin, manager of a large cattle company, has no use for the small homesteaders that have begun to pepper the area ….. and he isn't afraid of using every dirty trick he knows to run them out. And Portis had been doing a pretty good job of it until what he decides are two saddle tramps, Hank James and his partner, Harry Gilmore arrive in the area. Hank James wants equality. Hank James wants integrity. Hank James wants a life-time partner. And, damn it, he's going to get all three. 5 stars across the board Inspiring, heartfelt frontier adventure …… Timothy H.
