Hard Winter at Broken Arrow Crossing
A Horrific Blizzard Was Only the Start of Stuart Brannon's Troubles. For a man who didn't need another disaster, the fierce winter at Broken Arrow Crossing couldn't have come at a worse time. Stuart Brannon had just abandoned his Arizona ranch, sick with grief after losing his family and his cattle. That's when the vicious Colorado blizzard struck. Half frozen, Brannon stumbles into the isolated stage station at the Crossing. There he finds a wounded prospector and sets about to nurse the man back to health. Winter storms bring other stragglers to the station- an abused, pregnant Indian girl and naïve gold seekers. Drawn into their desperate plights, Brannon plunges into a dangerous mission to rescue a boy from the Indians, and then himself becomes the target of an outlaw band. Written in the tradition of Zane Grey, Luke Short, and Louis L'Amour, "Hard Winter at Broken Arrow Crossing" recreates the tumultuous old West where good battles evil.

Stuart Brannon is back. And he's found gold! But the struggle to keep it could cost him his life.

Under attack, they fortify the mine and ally themselves with three Ute Indians. Soon they find themselves fighting both a professional gunman and the powerful Colorado Southern Mining Corporation. Stuart Brannon finds himself dealing with both the threat to his claim and, much to his surprise, with his own greed as he comes to terms with his newfound riches.

Last Hanging at Paradise Meadow
Only Stuart Brannon can overthrow the tyrannical mayor of an isolated western town. But will he be too late? Stuart Brannon rides again--this time into the booming mining supply town of Paradise Meadow, and into conflict with Dixon Rutherford, its self-appointed mayor. Rutherford has tyrannized the entire town--jailing Brannon's friend Peter Mulroney for a murder he did not commit, running down and killing Mulroney's wife for standing up to him, and now trying to drive Cherokee schoolteacher Rose Creek out of town. But finding courage to stand up to a corrupt politician is only a first step. Now the town faces another kind of struggle. Can a violent, lawless collection of citizens avoid mob rule and choose to govern themselves in an orderly way? Written in the tradition of Zane Grey, Luke Short, and Louis L'Amour, Last Hanging at Paradise Meadow recreates the tumultuous old West where good battles evil.

Standoff at Sunrise Creek
Will Stuart Brannon lose his beloved ranch to the Casa Verde Land Corporation? At long last, Stuart Brannon hits the homeward trail to his Arizona ranch. But if he has hopes to settle down to the quiet life of a cattleman, he has miscalculated. Much of what he holds dear is in terrible peril. Riding into his spread, he finds it occupied by gunmen sent by the Casa Verde Land Corporation, which claims to hold a Spanish land grant on his property. Enraged, Brannon drives off the intruders. Before the gunmen return with reinforcements, some of Brannon's friends and neighbors descend on the ranch. When the gunmen reappear--this time with a cannon--Brannon and his friends hunker down to defend the ranch. Written in the tradition of Zane Grey, Luke Short, and Louis L'Amour, "Standoff at Sunrise Creek" recreates the tumultuous Old West where good battles evil.
