Spur Awards (2014)

Awarded Finalist for Best First Novel, 2014 Spur Awards of the Western Writers of America. La Grulla is a bold story of impetuous youth, uncommon friendship, and timeless romance, unfolding in the stunning American Southwest. A violent confrontation with the vaquero Jaime Lucero on a cold November 1882 morning in Taos leaves young Jeff Cameron relentlessly pursued. While no one's fool, strong Maggie MacTeague is drawn into this survival struggle, and into the love of her life. Savor the wry humor of the frontier Scotsman, Sandy, distinguished equally in battle and in whiskey-fueled fun. Your heart will stop as the story resolves in Jeff's final, desperate ride on the remarkable Bonnie Blue.
