Cody's already in the crosshairs

Published 4 months ago • 1 min read

Hi Reader,

Mark your calendar: August 21. That's the day Someplace North, Someplace Home — the third and final book in the Mountain Ranch Adventures series — arrives.

Cody Brandon is literally in the crosshairs of a sniper; he just doesn't know it.

All Cody ever wanted was open land, mountain air, a ranch he could call his own, and a life there with his wife, Julie, and their son. After years of hard work and hard choices, that future is finally within reach. A rugged stretch of northern country is calling his name, and for the first time in years, tomorrow looks like something worth riding toward.

Out of the shadows steps a threat unlike any Cody has faced before: a killer with a hidden motive and a reputation for never missing his target. He's coming for Cody, waiting for the right moment. Every sunrise could be Cody’s last.

Someplace North, Someplace Home asks how far a man will go to protect his family and the life he's always wanted, and how deep his faith will have to run to survive what's coming for him. With tension that coils like a rattlesnake and danger that strikes without warning, this is a story of one man's fight—not just for land, but for the right to live on it, and to keep the family he loves safe inside its fences.

Will the series end with Cody Brandon's name hanging over a ranch gate — or marking a grave?

Want to find out before anyone else?

I'm putting together a small launch team — readers who get the Kindle edition free, ahead of release, in exchange for reading it and posting an honest review on release day.

Amazon's algorithm pays close attention to early reviews, so a strong showing on day one makes a real difference for how many readers discover this book.

If that sounds like fun, I'd love to have you:

👉 Apply for the Launch Team. (Already on the team? No need to apply again — I've got you covered.)

We'll be at the FESTIVAL OF THE ARTS in downtown Gresham, 9-5 tomorrow, 7/18. Bring your book and I'll sign it ... or pick up a copy.

See you down the trail! 🤠
