All Pete Belissari wants is to sell his string of mustangs and catch up on some sleep. But first he'll have to outwit a band of Apaches intent on stealing his horses. And then he'll find himself at odds with, and maybe even attracted to, young Hannah Scott, who is trying to save her orphanage from evil rancher Rafe Malady. Fate throws Hannah and Pete together and hurls them headlong into a wild ride in this lighthearted, fast-moving Western told in authentic detail. The pair must summon all of their courage and skills before facing their biggest challenge: a must-win, backbreaking horse race against the top riders and steeds in the West. It's a race against time to save the orphanage - and themselves - from Malady and his gunmen.
Johnny D. Boggs once played hooky from high school to watch Fort Apache, and spends most of his vacations traipsing around historical sites, ghost towns, and boneyards in the American West. His works have appeared in Boys' Life, Louis L'Amour Western Magazine, and other publications. A member of the Western Writers of America, he lives with his wife, Lisa Smith, and basset hound, Scout, in Dallas, Texas. The Courtship of Hannah and the Horseman is the sequel to Hannah and the Horseman, which is also available from Avalon.
"Boggs knows the Old West, and it's horses and guns, and his characters are invested with considerable originality...I think Johnny D. Boggs is well on his way to being a major western writer." -George Glenn, "The Shootist"
