TWO WONDERFUL SINGLE AUTHOR ANTHOLOGIES BY RICHARD PROSCH FOR YOUNG AND OLD ALIKE!
FINDING THE SKY: (Jo Harper Books 1-4)
Twelve-year-old Jo Harper thought 1910 would be another boring year in the Wyoming range town of Willowby, Wyoming. Then tough-talkin' pistol-shootin' Abby Drake came to town and made Jo a deputy law and order woman...

Collecting four exciting Jo Harper novellas, Finding the Sky pits Jo and her friends against cattle rustlers, outlaws, a bank robber and a tinhorn gambler. With explosions of fire, flaming arrows, and a wild ride in a Model-T, Jo's introspective, early 20th Century life will never again be the same.


ON SOLID GROUND: (Jo Harper Books 5-8)
In 1911, when trouble comes to Willowby, Wyoming, thirteen year-old Deputy Constable Jo Harper is usually on top of it. But trouble has a way of following Jo, and strangers aren't always what they seem.

When old friends prove to be enemies, and enemies might be friends, Jo relies on all her wits to seek justice.

And sometimes just to stay alive!

Jo Harper rides the range again with Frog Beemer, Constable Abby Drake, McGee the dog, and a host of no good owlhoots. If you love rollicking old-fashioned adventure, grab this second volume of four novella-length stories.

MORE WESTERN ADVENTURE IN SARA BARNARD’S THE SAGA OF INDIAN EM’LY—FOUR STORIES OF THE WEST FOR KIDS AND ADULTS TO LOVE!
Twelve-year-old Wind That Knocks Down Lodges loves his little sister, Cactus Flower, and the wildness of the desert canyonland the Apache call home. But in one night of misunderstanding and mistakes, Knocks Down and Cactus Flower’s innocent world is shaken as they find themselves locked in the nearby fort with the pale face soldiers and their mother’s lifeless body. With no one to lean on but each other, Knocks Down and Cactus Flower must make their way as children of The People in the pale face world—pale faces who have now become the enemy.

Are you ready to ride into the old west with six fantastic tales of outlaws, lawmen, Apaches and ex-gunmen?

Each and every one of these tales of the west are guaranteed to keep you turning pages. You’ll share these hard-hitting action adventures as surely as if you were standing in the dusty Texas heat or the wilds of Indian Territory alongside the outlaws, marshals, and bounty hunters captured in the pages of CODE OF THE WEST! So, DRAW…if you dare! Authors include: John D. Nesbitt, Kit Prate, Livia J. Washburn, Chuck Tyrell, Jerry Guin, and Cheryl Pierson.
