About this ebook
When a grim and bitter cavalry scout blunts a Cheyenne raid at the cost of a captured child, he soon discovers a purpose in life that can only be reached by choosing between a woman he needs and a woman he learns to love. Set in the haunting prairie frontier of Kansas, The Drop Edge of Yonder evokes images of iron ribbons cutting Indian homelands in half amid the violent clash of two civilizations after the Civil War. In the center of the clash is Lucien Ballard, who scouts for a remote garrison charged with securing the Union Pacific track crews, a rising tide of immigrants and a hardscrabble town from Indian intransigence. But to recover the kidnapped child Ballard must confront more than her headstrong mother, a loyal whore, pitiless gunrunners and an opportunistic gambler. He must deal as well with his own unforgiving angst.

I was born and raised in Wisconsin, a long ride from the true West of myth and legend. I grew up reading Westerns and watching them on television and film, collecting memorabilia, studying Western history and making frequent trips out West. To be sure, the West is more of a state of mind in these parts, but in our little corner of Wisconsin it thrives where my wife and I ride, board horses and live the dream.
