Holbrook (Paperback)

The first time I threw a man, I didn't know I was supposed to.

Holbrook is a bucking bull. Born on a ranch in eastern Arizona, he discovers early that his body knows something his mind hasn't caught up to yet - a violent, instinctive refusal to carry anything on his back. What follows is a life lived at full force: the futurity circuit, the championship arenas, the riders who become rivals, the quiet man who named him and fed him gummy bears, and the slow reckoning with a body that has given everything and is beginning to send the bill.

Told entirely in Holbrook's voice, this is a novel about purpose, aging, and what it means to be made for one thing - and then to find out you were made for something else too.

From the author of The Round Valley Kid comes a new series. Holbrook, Arena Lives book one.

Nicholas Streeter dropped out at fifteen to chase a cowboy dream. He trained mustangs, rode bulls, and broke his body doing the work most people only watch on TV. He writes Western fiction and horse stories from the ground up, because he lived it. He lives with his wife and children and still dreams of that horse ranch in Apache County. Real stories from real dirt.
