Ranges is a collection of four stories that span space and time, from the Old West to modern times, and it's all about the back of beyond. BA Tortuga, Julia Talbot, Dallas Coleman and Chris Owen all create small town boys with big time loves, men who know how to work the land, and work each other over. Cabin fever, by BA Tortuga, is set in the late eighteen hundreds, and features Horace, a big mountain man who's more sophisticated than he seems, and Walker, a young man on the run from the law. In the snowy winter mountain season, Horace teaches Walker all he knows, but will Walker stay for the spring thaw? Set a few decades later, To Hell You Ride pits actor Clancy against miner Big Roy. Clancy thinks he's too good for an unattractive man like Roy, but he soon finds out that the heart wants what it needs, and won't be denied. When the Bloom is on the Sage takes on the early nineteen hundreds, in the days when cowboys still rode horses, but the ranch owners drove cars. Buck and Bonner face the elements, the fear of being caught loving each other, and the very real danger of working on the range. Finally, modern day Shady Ridge is the scene for Chris Owen's Shady Ridge and the Neon Sky, where cops Hank and Charlie learn they play on the same team, and that the closest gay bar, the Neon Sky, is an awful long way away.

Once upon a time, a prince lived in a magical kingdom called Turquoise, New Mexico. Well, really, TJ is a small-town police chief. Every Friday he holds court in the diner with the local holy roller, the art colonists, and the horsey people. But the Benes, who own the rodeo company, keep to themselves. TJ knows, because he was once hot and heavy with the oldest Bene son. When Wacey Bene gets trampled by a remuda and comes home to heal, he’s none too happy to run into TJ, or his two little boys and their momma. The story might end there—if it wasn’t for some pesky bastard trying to kill Wacey. The law steps in, and the townsfolk are cross about somebody messing with one of their own. But once the bad guy is put away, can TJ and Wacey make their place in this wild and eccentric town a permanent one?
