DESCRIPTION:
This volume of stories from old Wyoming and Nebraska brings the best of his westerns together under one cover for the first time. Acclaimed author Richard Prosch won the Western Writers of America Spur Award in 2016 for his short fiction. Old gunnies, laconic lawmen, John Coburn, Whit Branham and a host of villains bring the action, humor and irony Prosch is well known for. Old favorites and five brand new tales firmly establish Prosch as an exciting new voice in Western fiction.. A wrecked wagon spells
"Great Writing, Great Stories" according to wayne d. dundee. Richard Prosch writes with a distinct voice that has, in recent years, made him one of my favorite authors.I savor not only the way he spins a yarn, but also the tales that he tells. He has written primarily of the Old West as set mostly in Nebraska and some of Wyoming. A native of Nebraska, his love for the state, the region, and the unique frontier stories he grew up listening to sh. An Offbeat Western Collection Richard Prosch writes western tales that are offbeat, unusual, and quite often not your average tale of the frontier. Tough Job in Driftwood is a delightful collection of short stories. Each one is highly entertaining. I especially enjoyed the title story, as well as The Worst That Could Happen and Branham's Due. Highly recommended for anyone looking for interesting, unique stories.
