    RIDE ALONG WITH THE WITTY AND SPIRITED LAWRENCE THORNHILL! Guest Authors Michael Knost & Henry C. Parke Hosts Jim and Bobbi Jean Bell Watch The YouTube Video We kick off September 2026 with featured guests Henry C. Parke and author Michael Knost Henry starts us off with his monthly Henry’s Western Round-up reporting on all the latest news of Western film and TV. From Bram Stoker Award-winner author Michael Knost we’ll hear about his latest traditional western One-Armed Bandit. Meet an entertaining cast of characters that will surprise and delight you beginning with the main character Lawrence Thornhill, also known as the “One-Armed Bandit.” On the run astride his faithful donkey Daisy, Lawrence regales the reader with stories he lifts from his past and shares as we ride along on his adventures. We particularly enjoyed the wisdom he shares, and puts into action, from his teachers – Charles, Ezra, and Aunt Alice.

    About The Book Lawrence Thornhill lost an arm in a Kansas bank robbery gone wrong in 1875. If not for Ezra Tackett’s quick thinking, he might have lost his life along with it. Now Ezra waits in a jail cell, condemned to hang for horse thievery. On the run from the U.S. Army, two vengeful brothers, and the weight of his own past, Thornhill robs a stagecoach. Among the stolen goods, he finds something that just might save his friend’s neck – and, if fortune favors him, his own.

    AN INCREDIBLE TALE OF MERLIN, KING ARTHUR, AND ANCIENT MAGIC ON THE BRITISH ISLES! August 13, 2026 Robert Prather and Cyrus Alderwood Watch The YouTube Video

    This is a page turner with a recipe that includes genuine historical figures, the legendary Thirteen Treasures of Britain, an exploration of Britain's past, and a thriller happening now! Authors Robert Prather and Cyrus Alderwood (JC to his friends) reached out to us with this greeting, “In our book, The Merlin Deposition, we make the bold claim that King Arthur was based on a real individual, and historians missed him somehow. When we join you, we’ll talk about the historical King Arthur, Merlin, the Knights of the Round Table, The Holy Grail, and…the original Camelot.” They got our attention!

    ABOUT THE BOOK

    This compelling narrative unravels one of history's most enduring mysteries--the true identity of King Arthur, offering a fresh perspective that challenges centuries of legend and scholarly debate. Through meticulous research and imaginative storytelling The Merlin Deposition explores the epic tale of Arthur through the eyes of Merlin, the enigmatic wizard whose voice weaves together fact, myth, and prophecy. The novel immerses readers in a richly textured world of ancient Britain, where war, politics, and destiny collide. A blend of historical accuracy and captivating fiction positions this is a must-read for fans of Arthurian lore, historical fiction enthusiasts, and those curious about the intersection of legend and reality.

    THINGS ARE NEVER AS THEY SEEM Guest Author John Bradshaw Hosts Jim and Bobbi Jean Bell Watch the YouTube Video

    Author John Bradshaw returns with his second Western Fiction title Elmer Kelton's The Blessing. Hewey Calloway, Elmer Kelton’s favorite footloose cowboy, has always been known to have a generous nature readily giving to those in need. In this sequel to The Smiling Country, a beneficiary to one of Hewey’s past generosities pays him back, and with interest. Sounds like this is a simple story but there is tension, treachery, and a shot fired…things are never as they seem! John Bradshaw shares how he came to inherit Elmer Kelton’s characters, how his real-life experiences inform his writing, and the back stories to his new characters. Saddle up! Playlist 1.

Park Hosts Jim and Bobbi Jean Bell Watch the YouTube Video Two lives lived, two compelling stories, two new Western storytellers – join us and meet authors Sam F. Park and Bruce Scivally. A new gritty Western, WASTED, by Sam F. Park delivers a powerful story of ruin and reckoning. In the Wyoming Territory of the 1880s, the Old West was built on blood, whiskey, and second chances.

Our second guest, WASTED publisher and author Bruce Scivally, shares the story of his latest Western, The Last Stage. C. Courtney Joyner has this to say about Bruce Scivally’s haunting look at Wyatt Earp’s final hours, Like the best works of Will James and Louis L’Amour, “The Last Stage,” with poetic economy, gives us new insights into the life of Wyatt Earp while placing itself solidly among the very best of new Western fiction.
