Matt Gregan was a businessman – a saloonkeeper. So why did he want to buy all the ranches along the high mesa so badly?
When the owners refused to sell, he fetched in a bunch of gun-toughs to make sure he got his own way, and after that things got tough for the settlers. First came the threats, then outright intimidation … and finally, gunplay.
Scared for their safety, the settlers decided to take Gregan’s paltry offers for their homes and move on. But one of them, Drew Souter, had a better idea – to hire some gunmen of his own.
He sent for Shane Preston and Jonah Jones … and against all the odds, they came.
Now the war was ready to begin … and Gregan’s secret was ready to be exposed.
Roger Norris-Green was born in Brighton, UK and emigrated with his parents to Australia when he was a schoolboy. Since leaving Unley High School in South Australia, he has written 140 published westerns under 6 pen names, plus 2 under his own name.
Roger had his first western ‘Apache Crossing’ accepted by the Cleveland Publishing Company when he was a young man in his early 20s, just married, living in the Adelaide Hills. The pen name he used for his very first western was Cole Shelton. He went on to write his ‘Shane and Jonah’ series under that pen name. Many of his westerns have received ‘Best Western of the Month’ awards. Roger lives with his wife Elaine in Moonta Bay, South Australia. Although retired, he is still writing.
