New Western Novel Hearkens Back to Wild Days in the Old West
01/18/10By Harvey Goodman
New author Harvey Goodman has published his first novel, Along The Fortune Trail, (Mill City Press, January 2010, $14.95), a Wild West ad! venture written in classic western style. Reminiscent of classics like Lonesome Dove and Riders of the Purple Sage, Goodman gives a new spirit to an old genre; making the adventures of hero Sammy Winds seem as fresh as they did when cowboys roamed the western plains.
From the time Sammy Winds pulled on his first pair of spurs, he understood the difficulties living in the new American West. An orphan since he was a small child, Sammy grew up working long, dusty days as a ranch hand on the Twin T., busting broncs, herding cows, and learning to spit his tobacco juice with contest-winning precision. Sammy became used to sweat and toil and tough ranch life, but when an encounter with a murderous outlaw leaves Sammy the prospect of a fortune, the cowboy leaves behind his love and everything he has ever known to embark on a journey across the untamed West. Only he doesn't! know just how dangerous his adventure is about to become. The adventure and excitement of Sammy Winds story is palpable on every page, taking the reader on a wild ride back in time.
