destiny

A neophyte news reporter, William Weston III, assigned to cover the U.S. army’s search for Pancho Villa, quickly becomes entangled with a bull-of-the-woods lumberjack named Monte Segundo and Rosa del Carmen Fernandez Bustamonte, a fiery captain in the revolutionary army. Together the trio plunge into the heart of the Mexican Revolution, Monte seeking revenge for the murder of his parents, Rosa struggling to justify the barbarism of Villa and William attempting to find a place in a world he never knew existed. Each quest meets with failure and yet their fateful alliance is destined to change the course of history.

About the author

Paul lives on a small ranch in Sandpoint, Idaho. He is an avid outdoorsman, a member of the Single Action Shooting Society and Western Writers of America. Most of his writing and art work are done in the winter when a fire is blazing and the snow is deep. His “boots on the ground” research is usually reserved for the spring but if a story warrants it, he will hike the Arizona or Nevada deserts in mid July.

reviews

"As with all of Paul's previous works, I found Red Bluff of Tucson hard to put down. Having spent much of my life in the desert, I appreciate his vivid and accurate description of the terrain. As a horseman, rancher and Western history fan, I find it very easy to infuse myself into Paul's writing. That was especially true of Red Bluff."

"Exceptionally well researched and historically accurate, this exciting novel pulls the reader right into the pages and holds them there till the end. lf you're an enthusiast of western history you can't pass this one up. This story is as thrilling as the saga of Hugh Glass."
