Dusty horses and riders, gals and guns are the backdrops for most Westerns because that's what life was in those days. Add to that a mystery identity, one really bad tornado, and the way country folks help each other when times are tough, and you have all the ingredients for great entertainment.

Following a horrific event he has witnessed live on national television, famed outdoorsman John Hatch reaches out to Citizens Against Guns' leader, Gray Grayson. Both men soon realize that gun control is merely a symptom of a greater problem, as they join forces to save an America that is clearly floundering on the brink of destruction.

Annie Acorn Audio is pleased to present The Horses of Paiute Canyon written by D.A. Grady and narrated by Lee Foreman. It's late spring and the last of the early blooming desert plants in Nevada are at their best. Battered and bruised, Jim Crenshaw rides away from his past and onto the Diamond G ranch, where he seeks employment - not as the foreman he is, but as a simple cowboy. Not much later, he finds himself on a two-week trip, riding fence line with only his animals, unaware and unprepared for what awaits him.

In the 1800s and before, ranchers hired a lone cowpuncher to look after their cattle stuck in the high country for the winter. Normally a lonely assignment, most punchers said, “No!” to such an assignment, but Ben Thomas said, “Yes.” Soon the job becomes the surprise of his life and the most dangerous, as From Gents' Pens storyteller D.A. Grady winds the resultant tale around actual happenings of a time long past. A unique telling, The Cow Camp Affair follows the daily living of folks in those days and keeps you turning the page to see if they can make it to the next night. All the things that you expect from this internationally beloved author – suspense, romance, mystery, and a good dose of humor – are intertwined in a story that will keep you reading until the sun sets on the last word.

Telling tales around campfires goes back to the beginning of cowboy days and even before.

Annie Acorn Audio is pleased to present Dark Tales from Gents' Pens, an anthology of works written by the authors of From Gents' Pens and narrated by Lee Foreman.

Where can you find all the suspense, thrills, blood, and gore that reflect the dark underbelly of our world? Where do murder and voodoo curses stand alongside innocents and little children? Where do the kinder, gentler things disappear?

In early spring of 2006, beloved From Gents' Pens author D. A. Grady's life changed forever when his Chevy pickup connected with a metal guard rail on highway US 290, between Austin and Houston. When EMTs arrived on the scene and placed him into their Medevac helicopter, his left leg from below the knee remained behind in his truck, still in his boot.

Some 100,000 soldiers fought in the April 1862 battle of Shiloh, and nearly 20,000 men were killed or wounded; more Americans died on that Tennessee battlefield than had died in all the nation's previous wars combined. In the first book in his new series, Steven E. Woodworth has brought together a group of superb historians to reassess this significant battle and provide in-depth analyses of key aspects of the campaign and its aftermath.
