"Loners. Drifters. Men bent on vengeance. Laconic in manner, economical in gesture, slow to anger but deadly when provoked. Begun unofficially in 1956 with Seven Men From Now, made under the auspices of John Wayne's Batjac Productions, director Budd Boettinger and actor Randolph Scott's "Ranown Cycle"would eventually encompass six films, of which Ride Lonesome is both the best, and representative of the whole cycle. Visually and aesthetically, Ride Lonesome more than justifies New York Times critic Richard T. Jameson's assessment of the entire Ranown cycle as "the most remarkable convergence of artistic achievement in the history of low-budget moviemaking (rivaled only by Val Lewton's 1940s horror films for RKO)." Shot in a mere seventeen days for under a half-million dollars, Ride Lonesome is a masterpiece of cinematic minimalism, at once epic and austere. Running a tight 73 minutes, Boetticher turns traditional Western tropes into rituals of re-enactment and revenge"--

IN LOVE WITH HER BOSS Undistracted by love, brawny construction boss Brad Phillips had worked his way up from street kid to millionaire. Of course, Rachel Wood, his invaluable assistant, had believed in—and secretly loved—Brad from the beginning. But after eight years of a strictly professional relationship, Rachel dared not dream of more. So why, when she requested a leave of absence, believing herself in danger in Dallas, did Brad insist on whisking her to safety—in his home, in his arms, as his “convenient” wife? Had Rachel’s near-disappearance—after nearly a decade—stunned Brad into seeing her as a woman…into believing in love?

MR. TALL, DARK AND DANGEROUS One by one, he’d terrified those women who would be his assistant. Like some dark laird of the manor, Sir Ian MacGowan seemed more beast than man, scowl and scars included. But Jenna Craddock knew her boss was pure male. It was in the way he looked at her, virility sensing virginity, and in the way he underestimated the fairer sex. Ian demanded professionalism; Jenna gave him perfection. He harbored secrets; Jenna insisted bed be the place where nothing came between them. In Ian’s fortress, Jenna could almost forget the family betrayal that had led her to Scotland—except that she needed to know who she was as urgently as she needed to know the truth about Ian.

I helped Tommie with the editing of ‘A Lonesome Warrior'... therefore read this book twice and have come to feel I know this Warrior. Tommie enjoys life to the extremes. He manages to root out the very highs and lows of his full life and is kind enough to allow us to know the feelings they brought to him as well as how he handled each. He’s a tough Marine that can cry. I found him to be a man of his convictions and not afraid of following them to where ever they take him. A man with profound insight who, sees a need, and then organizes and teaches those that can fill that need. A man I admire. He’s managed to fill his life with such variety of experiences that it seems he should be at least twice his age. All in all, a read like I’m sure you have never encountered before. Russ Payne
