About this item
"The Great Depression has brought with it hard times like nobody has ever seen. It's the era of gangsters G-Men hobos and soup lines. Indeed the future looks as dark as an Okie dust storm at least to those old enough to know better. Two young lovers Claude and Myra by chance or fate set out to get rich quick or die trying. Being good comes easy to some but the trick to being bad is living to spend the loot. Along the back roads and byways of America this star-crossed pair will become as famous as Bonnie and Clyde -- if lawmen in three states and a Dallas road gang don't get them first. The rain stopped and the stock market crashed but dreams can still come true if you hold your gun steady enough and if you don't flinch when you look the Devil in the eye. " "
About the Author
BioAward-winning author, Brett Cogburn, was reared in Texas and the mountains of Southeastern Oklahoma. He had the fortune for many years to make his living from the back of a horse, where cowboys still step on frisky broncs on cold mornings, and drag calves to the branding fire on the end of a rope from their saddlehorn. Growing up around ranches, livestock auctions, oilfield rig sites, and backwoods hunting camps filled his head with stories, and he never forgot a one. In his own words, "My grandfather taught me to ride a bucking horse, my mother gave me a love of reading, and my father taught me how to shoot straight. Cowboys are just as wild as they ever were, and I've been fortunate enough to know more than a few."Whether setting his novels in the Old West or the Twenty-First Century, Brett focuses on characters, the real and the eccentric. His list of novels include Panhandle, The Texans, and Forty Loads, Destiny, Texas, Two-Dollar Pistol, and Widowmaker Jones, with more on the way. He holds a BA in English with a minor in history, and currently makes his home with his family on a little ranch in Oklahoma.
