AN AVALON WESTERN
The Courtship of Hannah and the Horseman
by Johnny D. Boggs

Hannah and the Horseman Western Series

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. After surviving many wild adventures together, finally, the glorious wedding day of Pete Belissari and Hannah Scott has come. As they separately and nervously make their way to the ceremony, a shot rings out. Colonel Wooten and his villainous confederate renegades are robbing the local bank. With bad luck getting worse, Hannah finds herself kidnapped by the Wooten gang. Buddy Pecos, the town sheriff, talks Pete out of going after them alone. They form a posse and head out in search of Pete's soul mate. After a bloody ambush, the Wooten boys still have Hannah, and Pete appears to be a goner.

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"
