WIRE RIDER

New Mexico late 1800's: Along came Wire Ryder taking place in the New Mexico territory at the time of Geranimo's surrender 1886. Wire is a western in the sense that it takes place in the west and it involves a ranch forman at a time when "Cow Boying" was ending, trail hearding was giving way to railroad stock cars and stock yards opening in New York and Chicago. Wire is a classic tale of how a person is caught up in changing times and is capable of transitioning his vocational skills into a different way of life. A treasure hunt makes use of all the hero's skills gained as a cowboy. Even the eternal event of meeting the love of ones life depends upon life's events so that one recognizes that love. This is such a story that has occurred often in the west, and most assuredly will occur even as the years march on and cow boying is lost to the future.

I have always believed that people leave a part of themselves in their words, songs they sing or hum, the letters they write, paintings they create and most strongly the thoughts they think. All create waves in the universe and are touched by all. Some more sensitive than others, become vocal and visual, hence, the story begins, and some go unsounded. I trust that I have in some manner left a spark of me, that is my dream in these words that form this story and that you, will feel and live for a small spell of time in this period of my thoughts and feel as if you were there . . .
