Beneath the Valley Oak. A collection of dark westerns.
Heya, partners! Some of you have asked for the ebook version of Beneath the Valley Oak, my dark westerns collection, and I’m here to deliver the goods! It’s now available through Amazon.
Or, if you were bummed when we sold out of the first edition print—in a day and a half, I might add!—then you’ll be glad to know the second edition print is available at the Spare Press website. The second edition print won’t have the letterpress-printed covers, but everything else is more or less the same.
If you’ve read Beneath the Valley Oak and loved (or hated) the collection, leave a review! These testimonials help other folks discover new authors like myself. I’ve been bad about leaving reviews for indie authors, and I’m committing here and now to change my ways.
Lastly, thank all of you for being so generous with your time and kindness. The fiction community on Substack is the first online community I’ve been a part of that has actually felt like a community. I’m honored to be here writing and reading alongside you all.
And to my quiet readers who prefer to stay off social media: I appreciate you! ❤️

The prairie had a way of making a man feel small. Conway, a “behemoth” as his father had dubbed him, was okay with that. He liked feeling hidden from the world. More than that, he liked feeling fragile; the fragile deserved kindness, and the small deserved tenderness. And the behemoths? They bore the yoke.
Everyone get that book; it's fantastic!!!! I love that kid in the Julie Newmar t-shirt; he looks strangely familiar. The first time I saw Julie Newmar was in an M.G.M. movie musical (a great one) called "Seven Brides for Seven Brotthers." If you haven't seen it get it or buy it, or steal it and watch it with the kids. The second time I saw her was in another musical on Broadway called, "Li'l Abner." They made it into a pretty good movie...also with Julie. At that point, she looked like a goddess. BUY HIS BOOK!!!
