THE CHINOOKS
by Jack Ballard Jr.
The end of the Civil War is supposed to usher in a new beginning. To bring an era of peace, a time for rebuilding, and a return to bountiful living. Finally, the fighting is over and what lay ahead are the dreams of so many waiting to be fulfilled. But most will find out that the tragedies of war carry on long after the last shot is fired.
Racial tensions remain high in a country still divided by ideas. Relations between the Government and native Indians are hostile. Homesteads ravished by war no longer exist with cash crops destroyed and cattle run off. Money is scarce and difficult to earn, providing fresh opportunity for outlaws looking to take advantage of what little there is.
Henry Canaan has one goal. To make good on a promise made long ago by collecting on his family's legacy and retiring in wealth. To reach his goal, he'll have to venture into the wild western frontier with nothing more than an iron will, his only friend, and a youngster whose mind has been ruined by battle. In his way are unknown enemies, unresolved conflict, and the unavoidable game of love.
Jack Ballard Jr.'s The Chinooks is more than an adventurous tale, it is a bold portrayal of real life in post-war America.

ON THE WRONG SIDE OF THE LAW
by John Porter
YOU'RE A FOOL, KIT JOY
Kit Joy is a happy cowboy in New Mexico--until he talks with a fashion designer traveling on a train from San Francisco. He realizes he's not as happy as he thought and decides to rob a train, go to San Francisco himself, and have the time of his life. "You're a fool, Kit Joy," says Rackety Smith, another cowboy. But with three companions, Joy carries out the robbery. The four hide the money and plan to return for it soon. But the railroad hires Joy's former employer, Sheriff Harvey Whitehill, who begins to track the robbers down.
SALLY SKULL, R.I.P.
"She was something, all right," Merlie Grossman says at the funeral of Sarah Jane Newman, a.k.a. Sally Skull. The other mourners agree, and so do the men and women who are happy as hell she's dead. Sheriff McAlister is neither happy nor sad. Instead, he's angry at himself for not holding Sally to account for the murder of two husbands and possibly a third. He's also perplexed as all get-out by one undeniable fact... no one has found Sally's body.
Along with the two novellas, this collection brings you three short stories about other men and women who are on the wrong side of the law.

The Edgewater Chronicles #3
by A. G. Jones
When a wagon transferring dangerous inmates from the Texas State Penitentiary gets stuck in the mud trying to cross a river, a bad situation quickly gets worse. Two brothers serving life sentences wrestle a gun away from one of the guards and disappear from the scene, leaving the guard and the driver dead.

Having found love and friendship in Edgewater, Telford is beginning to open up. He's making plans for the future. He's finally come to realize that it's time for him to establish permanent roots in the town that has become his home. But first, some unfinished business to face.
The Pettigrew brothers have escaped from prison and are building themselves a gang. They won't go away quietly. They'll seek retaliation for the death of their brother. They'll want Telford's blood, and they'll want Edgewater. When and how is unknown, but one thing is certain. Both sides are in for the fight of their lives.
