"One of the stories I tell myself when I am trying to fall asleep is that I have tried. I've tagged along after myself in the pages of my own modern Western, and every few years is another chapter to the story. The myth of the cowboy. I chased a dream and it kicked me in the teeth. Yet I find myself falling for it again and again." Across the rugged and beautiful landscape of the contemporary American West, Tom Groneberg paints an unsparing portrait of his flawed, funny, and sometimes triumphant efforts to become a cowboy. It is a classic tale: a young man, facing a future he doesn't want to claim, has an inspiration -- Go West. Leaving behind his friends and family, Groneberg follows his heart and heads to a resort town in the Colorado Rockies, where he earns his spurs as a wrangler leading tourists on horseback. Like an old saddle blanket, the tale unfolds, revealing the clean threads of a new story. Groneberg moves to Montana, working for wages at a number of ranches before getting a chance to become the owner of a sprawling ranch, fifteen square miles of grass and sky. In lean but passionate prose, Groneberg demystifies the image of cowboy as celluloid hero and introduces us to the tough and kindhearted men who teach him how to be a real cowboy, the woman who teaches him how to love, and their son, who teaches him how to be a man. The Secret Life of Cowboys is both a coming-of-age story as stunning as the land itself and a revealing look at America's last frontier.

The Secret Life of Horses is a collection of serious, humorous, profane, introspective and sometimes political poems about both the contemporary and old west as well as film and B western cowboys. It lovingly and sometimes wistfully recounts real and fictional tales about a way of American life that is vanishing. Today's cowboys (when you can find them), are the ranchers, farmers, rodeo performers and dreamers that now carry on a proud tradition that hopefully will never die. Glen Enloe spent his early years between small farms and the suburbs. Today he's a retired advertising writer that retains a deep respect and love of rural and western heritage. He's authored four books of cowboy poetry, two of free verse and a non-fiction book. He's also been published in American Cowboy, the Kansas City Star and many literary journals. Award nominations include the Academy of Western Artists and the Pushcart Prize.

Just back from a tour of duty, all Major Brant Western wanted was a hot meal and a warm bed. What he didn't need was the stunning socialite in disguise who'd just shown up at his family's Cold Creek ranch. Scandal trailed bad girl Mimi Van Hoyt—aka "Maura"—everywhere she went. But once Brant discovered her secret, how could he turn her away? Being stranded in the middle of nowhere in a blizzard was not Mimi's idea of a fun time in the Tetons. Then why was she starting to think this sexy soldier could be more than her shelter from the storm? And the more determined Brant was to protect her and her unborn child, the more she believed that this honorable, irresistible military man was the only man for her.

A lonely prodigal, an Amish cowboy rebel, a secret baby. A recipe for disaster ... or for unexpected love? Joshua Miller is the youngest in the Miller family—and the one most likely to break his mother’s heart. The minute he can sneak away, he’s out with his Englisch friends, planning when he’ll jump the fence and leave the Amish church. It’s all good times and bad choices ... until the day he finds a baby at the door with a note saying the child is his. Sara Fischer once thought the grass was greener on the other side, only to discover that coming back to the church can be harder than leaving it. Now she’s returned to Montana ranch country, where the only job she can find is on the Circle M ranch—as a nanny to a cowboy's secret baby. She may not be very good with babies, but she knows a hurting man when she sees one—and she responds to Joshua in a way she never has with anyone else. The Amish way of life is the fence that divides them. But can a baby’s trusting smile be the key that opens their hearts to each other—and to God? "This story has all that Adina Senft is known to bring to her writing. Complex Amish characters. Family values. Being lost and found in the redemptive Spirit of God. Settle back for an exciting ride!" --GoodReads The Montana Millers. They believe in faith, family, and the land. They’ll need all three when love comes to the Circle M! The Amish Cowboy’s Baby is the second novel in the Amish Cowboys of Montana romance series. Though the books can be read as standalones, there is a family thread running through them all. No strong language, just a loving kiss and a guaranteed happily ever after. If you like books by Hannah Miller, Naomi Troyer, or Hannah Schrock, you’re in the right place. Enjoy!

“An eloquent, honest tribute to a sports genius.” —Publishers Weekly, Best 100 Books of 2013 As the coach during professional football’s most storied era, Tom Landry transformed the gridiron from a no-holds-barred battlefield to the highly-technical chess match it is today. With his trademark fedora and stoic facade, he was a man of faith and few words, for twenty-nine years guiding “America’s Team” from laughingstock to well-oiled machine, with an unprecedented twenty consecutive winning seasons and two Super Bowl titles. Now, more than a decade after Landry’s death, acclaimed biographer Mark Ribowsky takes a fresh look at this misunderstood legend, telling us as much about our country’s obsession with football as about Landry himself, the likes of whom we’ll never see again.
