Here is a baker’s dozen of great western short stories entitled Out of the West…Tales of the American Frontier by Johnny Gunn. The book is a reflection of life in the west from the early days of the westward migration right into the 21st century.
The stories deal with such varied topics as a late 19th Century chili cook-off to a 21st Century ghost story. You’ll find stories about mustanging in the early days and about cattle drives that don’t always turn out the way the cow boss expected. There are stories about dens of thieves, Indians, trouble with Mother Nature and lots of bad men who always get knocked down a peg or two. It’s a fun book to read and is full of life the way we like to think it used to be.
Cover and interior art created by Johnny’s wife, Patty Gunn.
Get a glass of ice tea, sit back and relax and prepare to enjoy Out of the West…Tales of the American Frontier.

Patty Gunn has agreed to create cover and interior art for hubby Johnny’s new book Out of the West…Tales of the American Frontier.
Patty is the highly creative artist who created the cover art for this book, as well as the interior line drawings.
She is married to Dennis Locke, but since everyone but the IRS knows him as Johnny Gunn, she has become Patty Gunn.
Patty was born into a warehousing and distribution family in southern California. Today she carries on the family tradition as Operations Manager of a large warehouse and distribution center in northern Nevada.
Patty says that she has three passions in life: horses, art and camping. For her, when she and Johnny go horse camping in the Sierra Nevada wilderness and she has her art supplies, she’s simply in Heaven, totally at peace with the world.
By the way, those boots and socks on the cover of this book are Johnny Gunn’s, captured during a recent camping trip in the high Sierra.
