A deck of cards—many were found in the home
where we were raised. Our five uncles
played small-ante poker, always laughing and having a good time. As kids, we learned the rules and, emulating
them, willingly traded our pennies for a share in the fun.
Both of us became intrigued by the history
of the Old West, fascinated, in particular, by the gambling that reigned for
years unchecked. We have spent much time
visiting historic mining and cow-towns and in studying the men and woman who
populated them. We've never believed
that most of these stories were simply myths, but found them very well-documented. It is hard not to admire the strong and
determined, not to mention risk-taking, people of our nation's past.
This interest, blended with our love of writing,
caused us to create plots and characters, male and female, on a fast track to trouble. The Luck
of the Draw Series starts with Drew Woodson and his young partner, Tommy, in
danger because of a poker game. This
theme carries through three books and planted the seed for the modern-day
Sheriff Jeff McQuede. He appears in the High Country Mystery Series, his
relative and namesake, a frontier sheriff from the Luck of the Draw series.
Our stand-alone, Death Comes in Pairs, was inspired by our travels through grasslands
and rugged mountains, the site of bloody cattle and sheep wars. Our latest western, Rails and Aces, opens
with a poker game on a train through Wyoming
Most of our writing is in the mystery genre,
and this love for a puzzle carries over into our westerns.
For a limited time, from May 20 through June 21 Amazon Encore is offering The Devil's Game, first in the Luck of the Draw Series and our standalone Death Comes in Pairs for only $1.99 per Kindle copy.
