Texas 1857

A Western Adventure by Ronnie Ashmore

"Ashmore creates fierce characters with confidence and authority. A fresh and welcome Western narrative." -Best-Selling Author Ralph Cotton


Texas in the years leading up to the Civil War was a dangerous place. No one knew this better than Johnny Cole. An orphan, he came of age in the violence and upheaval that was all around him. Befriended by outcasts, he was forced to kill at a young age. Now, on the run from the law, he finds himself in gunfight after gunfight, standing up for what he believes is right, living by his own code. Is he driven by the lust to kill or is he a product of the times that gave birth to a gunman like Johnny Cole.
