| The Amazing Tom Mix - The Most Famous Cowboy of the Movies is the true story of the biggest cowboy star who ever lived. A real life town marshal, cowboy, wild west show performer and silent movie (and early talkie) star, Tom Mix was the "idol of every American boy" from 1906 to 1940, when he died in a car crash. Known for his squeaky clean image, Tom Mix lived in fear that his deep, dark secret would be revealed. "Here is Tom Mix as he really was. Richard D. Jensen has written a captivating biography of the Hollywood actor who enchanted the whole world in the 1920s and ‘30s. This book is destined to become the standard work on Tom Mix. Drawing on new material, the author brilliantly depicts the flamboyant actor who won and lost it all. This delightful book will enchant anyone, young or old, who has ever wondered what it was like to be on top of the world in early Hollywood. This is one of those special books that will leave a glow in readers. It is a splendid book." -- Richard S. Wheeler, five-time Spur Award winning author. |
| Tristeza - A novel about life, death, reincarnation and the redemptive power of love and forgiveness set in Mexico in the Great Depression. Cowboy Will Riley travels to Mexico and meets the ethereal Tristeza, a young woman with a dark secret that imperils her very soul. "Tristeza is one of those rare novels that live on in the heart of a reader long after the last page. It is a tender love story set in Mexico, and it brims with joy and anguish, with mystery and beauty, with wisdom and miracles. I found myself utterly absorbed in the story of the young gringo cowboy who finds his heart's desire in Mexico. He is no usual cowboy, nor is Mexico of the late 1930s a usual place, and on these remarkable pages we meet Leon Trotsky and Diego Rivera and other charismatic figures of the times, each with a prescription about how life should be lived. This novel should be garlanded with honors." -- Richard S. Wheeler, author of Trouble In Tombstone “... this is a marvelously good book. I highly recommend it!” – Tom Ogren, author of Allergy-Free Gardening |
| When Curly Won A Cathouse is the hysterical story of two aging cowpokes, one of whom wins a brothel in a poker game. All is not fun and games as the two old cowboys discover the truth in the old adage, "be careful what you wish for, you might get it." “ Helluva good story. Great characters!!!!!” – John Duncklee, author of Graciela of the Border "... the reader will find it fun a'plenty." – True West Magazine "...A funny book about life changing and what to do about it." – Roundup Magazine |
Ride the Wild Trail is the fictional story of silent movie cowboys Tom Mix and Hoot Gibson going on a last hurrah through the waning days of the wild west along with real-life marshal Wyatt Earp, who is now 80 and near death. As much a bittersweet homage to the silent movie cowboys as it is a western adventure, Ride the Wild Trail is about holding onto youth as time slips away. "When Tom Mix, Wyatt Earp and Hoot Gibson set out on an adventure just to cure what ails them, you can count on some fun. Richard Jensen's Ride the Wild Trail is a richly wrought, comic and nostalgic novel about Hollywood and the Old West. The flashy Tom Mix, the stern Wyatt Earp, and the cowboy comic Hoot Gibson, all spring to life here in Jensen's engaging story. Jensen had a very good time writing this, and you will have a very good time reading it." -- Richard S. Wheeler |
