Miss Royal’s Mules

A BRAND-NEW ADVENTURE FROM SPUR AWARD-WINNING AUTHOR IRENE BENNET BROWN

Here is a time and place (Kansas, 1900) rigorously evoked, down to every minor character and filmic detail. –MOLLY GLOSS, award-winning author of The Jump-Off Creek and The Hearts of Horses

I was rooting for this plucky and likable heroine and her mules all the way.–MAX MCCOY, author of Indiana Jones adventures and award-winning westerns

Miss Royal’s Mules can be likened to author Elmer Kelton’s
gentle
westerns and is a page-turning gem. In 1900 a steadfast and feisty young woman, Jocelyn Belle Royal, joins a mule drive to earn back her Kansas, Flint Hills farm lost to the bank. Entanglements over the mules, outlaws, women’s suffrage, and a disagreement over the governor’s mansion, test her mettle to the limit. Jocelyn can’t give up if ‘home’ will ever again be more than a few belongings tied in a shawl, all that she owns.
