Herb marlow’s newest release High Lonesome is now available at amazon, Barns & Noble and all major booksellers.
Once again Dr. Herb Marlow entertains us, this time with characters of the old west. In High Lonesome, we meet Trapper Stark, Clint Morgan, Ralph Giddings, Jerry Miller, Alan Kidd and Larry Hardwell. Each man with his own lonesome life is striving to or eventually successfully living a moral life.
For some it seems to be more difficult, for others it comes naturally and is welcomed. One may win the heroine, while others leave, not with regrets but giving thought to how life might have been if he had remained. Which is the right way to go? For one man, settling down becomes the comfortable way but for others, what is over the next hill continues to beckon him on and on……
The six exciting stories in High Lonesome include Trapper’s Wife, Buffalo Gap, Forty-Four Caliber Justice, Hawken 50, The Wolfer and Gone at Midnight. Fans of western life of the 1800’s will find this collection hard to put down.
This is Herb Marlow’s latest book for Bottom of the Hill Publishing. When Dr. Marlow isn’t writing or caring for his small Texas ranch, he conducts a limited pastoral counseling practice through face-to-face encounters and a unique Internet-based, on-line counseling service.

Herb Marlow’s newest release, High Lonesome, will feature cover art by Lorna Dillon.
Each part of the West has its own distinctive characteristics that encompass geography, history and culture. Lorna Dillon sets her painting in rural California, home of many Spanish land grants and rolling foothills. The influence of the vaqueros and their elegant horsemanship is so classical that their legacy comes to life under her brush.
As a child, Dillon was intrigued by paintings in her family home. Her fascination was profound and the seed was planted. It lay dormant until the late 70’s when Lorna took up painting to see if her interest could be developed. She followed a long and laborious path filled with much trial and error, studying the styles, composition and techniques of other artists whose work she admired.
Gradually her style developed and her interests aimed her towards the western art genre. Livestock trade shows did double duty as both a source of subjects and sales. There she learned more about the animals and their various characteristics, sold a lot of art, gained discipline and brush mileage, and most importantly, Lorna says, “I met a lot of wonderful people in the livestock industry.” The ranching life felt very natural to her and she found the ambiance warm and genuine. Success and her reputation in the field grew.
After many years of this self-supporting and self-taught effort, workshops became a springboard for her to really begin to mature as an artist. Many well-known regional shows in the Western states led to her inclusion in the prestigious Prix de West Invitational at the National Cowboy Museum in Oklahoma City for many years. That event has been “the pinnacle of my career” according to Dillon. She says, “I thank God for the guidance and the gifts that made it all possible.”
The cover image is a painting entitled SPRING RUNOFF. It is just one fine example of Lorna Dillon’s art. You can see more of her highly creative images at www.lornadillon.com.

Bitter Grass, Dave P. Fishers newest release is now available for Kindle and Nook.
It was the tough old widow, Abby Chaney, who found Devon McCloud bushwhacked and left for dead on her Bitter Grass Ranch. The old woman and her daughter were fighting a losing battle against cattle baron Charles Sampson and timber man Egert Taylor. Both men desperately wanted what the two women legally owned. To make matters worse, the Parker clan was cleaning out their cattle. Odds favoring the Chaney’s survival were slim.
It was supposed to be an easy takeover, but the big men never counted on McCloud buckling on his gun and stepping right in the middle of their plans. Sampson and Taylor had no intention of giving up, and Devon McCloud had never in his life backed down. War was about to break out on the Bitter Grass. The Chaney’s odds had greatly improved, but were they good enough to win?
