The crack of a rifle, the thunder of hooves, the silence of the desert at dawn . . . Mariotte takes you there

Western stories by Jeffrey J. Mariotte have appeared in collections alongside those of legendary writers like Louis L'Amour, William Johnstone, Elmer Kelton, and Loren Estleman. Now, Byrd's Luck & Other Western Stories collects ten of his own riveting tales of the wild West.

Brand-new stories include "Byrd's Law"-a sequel to the Spur Award and Peacemaker Award finalist "Byrd's Luck," costarring Cody Cavanaugh-the hero of his own action-packed novel trilogy-and the first-ever prose story featuring characters from Mariotte's bestselling horror-Western comics series Desperadoes. A mix of traditional and weird Western tales, this book has something for every fan of Western adventure.
