Boredom had recently driven Rudy Girton, town marshal of Salt Creek City, to the bottle when a well-to-do hotel visitor died by a murderer's knife.  A train robbery two years earlier figured in Rudy's investigation along with the missing family of the knife victim.  As soon as Rudy met the missing daughter, he knew he had to take on a whole gang of outlaws... whatever the outcome.

Into the Wind introduces to a broader audience the thoughtful, humane, wryly humorous observations of Amarillo Globe-Times columnist David Horsley. His perspective on contemporary life reflects his decision to become a stay-at-home dad, while his attorney wife took over principal bread winning responsibilities. Horsley’s is a close-up view of the small realities that form the texture of our lives: the vagaries of his garden, his switch from shooting to feeding birds, his youngest child’s last bottle, conquering a fear of roller coasters, the virtues of a classic BLT sandwich, the delights—and drawbacks—of his afternoon nap habit. Lighter pieces are punctuated with more serious observations on some of today’s most complex issues: lamenting the circumstances that impede friendships between white and black men, or unraveling the theological arguments wrongly used to condone gay-bashing. Subtly—and often by example—he beckons his readers toward exhibiting greater compassion, tolerance, and fairness every day. Horsley views life on the high plains with amusement and affection—always informed by his theological training, but never overwhelmed by it. And his unconventional outlook, rendered in graceful, colloquial prose, is one that his readers will find both entertaining and thought-provoking.

Conquistador summary Conquistador is a tale of conquest and deceit told through two storylines. The first is set in the 1500s, when Francisco Coronado entered what is now eastern New Mexico and the Texas Panhandle seeking fame and precious metals. With an army of cavalry, foot soldiers, priests, porters, and herds of livestock, Coronado wandered the northern frontier of Spain's empire during the summer of 1541. Artifacts lost by one of Coronado's men become the center of the second storyline, set in modern times. Their accidental discovery by Texas rancher Eleanor Grissom sets in motion an intrigue of larceny, abduction, romance, and death. Conquistador won First Place in Mainstream Fiction in Albuquerque's Southwest Writers Workshop, as well as First Place in Western Fiction in the Austin Writers' League contest.
