Bronc Buster -
Short Stories of the American West
THE OLD WEST COMES TO LIFE
 Bronc Buster Short Stories of the American West is Dave P. Fisher's first short story collection. Sample some of his most popular stories, including several that have been chosen by readers like you for special recognition and awards.
Stories of men like Blake Martin whose buried past won't stay buried, and bounty hunter Jeremiah Barnett who only wants to live quietly in peace but is forced to come forward to rescue a kidnapped child. Meet lawmen Deputy Matt Darby who takes a stand against a corrupt and murderous sheriff, and U.S. Marshal Nate Walker who returns to his home town to right a wrong done 15 years before. Ride with cattleman Mort Seever to recover his stolen herd, bronc buster Jack Fontaine, and ranch boss Bill Young. Feel your neck chill at Sandy Jefferson's story, or that of Sonny Benson's mysterious visitor. And more.
Written as if you are sitting across from Dave and listening first-hand to the action and adventures of a by-gone era, there are no Hollywood spins or typical Western formulas here. Dave draws from the high deserts, tall timber, and rolling hills of the West that he has worked so long, and knows so well. So, pour a cup of coffee, sit back, and feel the West come alive.
