Killing Buck Castillo: Book One: The Rafter 45 Journals

KILLING BUCK CASTILLO is the story of a reluctant gunfighter, hounded and praised on both sides of the law and his unwitting involvement in intrigue and mayhem. By the merest chance, Buck becomes involved with a farming family from Minnesota and a blue-eyed redhead that would change his life forever. Meanwhile, a mystery woman runs the Texas Bell. The biggest cattle and horse ranch in that part of the world. But much more lies just below the surface and Buck runs straight into the conflagration facing forward and with guns blazing. Teaming up with possibly the only two people on the planet that he trusts; Cable, a kindred soul who has been down the trail and survived many an adventure with Buck and a Lady Reverend that can breath fire and brimstone and can cause the most bleary-eyed drunk to "come to Jesus" with a Sunday mornings sermon. Buck also has to decide whether he can trust a repentant sinner in the form of a fast gun with more than a little notoriety. An unlikely cadre thrown together by necessity and chance and riding hell bent for redemption. Intrigue, turmoil, retribution and romance all come together in a whirlwind ride served up at the barrel of a smoking gun.

Don Frazer has had a life-long love affair with the Western genre. He cut his teeth on the early Western television programs and the great Western movies of the Silver Screen. Having family in Texas law enforcement including 19th century Texas Rangers only added fuel to the fire. Don followed in the footsteps of his family in both oral and written story telling and started writing short stories about the west while still in High School. His "alias" of Flint McCloud started as a character in a short story and he kept it when he started in the western shooting sports. The author currently resides in the wilds of Oregon and is working on several projects of the Western genre. Killing Buck Castillo is his first published offering.
