The
Consequences of Preserving Outlaws in Arsenic-- SC Maxfield
Johnny Redfeather, 15, doesn’t know where home is. Raised in the circus
all he holds dear is a box of faded clippings left to him by his late father.
They’re all about Bill McCready. Will this mysterious outlaw be Johnny’s link
to his roots?
Becky Redfeather is weathered, worn but
unbowed. She manages the farm her father left her but nurses a heartbreak that
time hasn’t mended. When Johnny arrives at her farm, the doors to the past and
future are blown wide open. Together they set out to find Bill McCready’s
corpse, but as usual the outlaw comes tied up with a whole heap of trouble.
Sweeping from the dying days of the Old
West to the changing world of the 1960s, SC Maxfield mines rich seams of
adventure, romance, hope and redemption, plunging her characters into hair
raising escapades through the backwoods and byways of America, culminating in
an explosive finale back in the heartland where it all began.
"'The Consequences
of Preserving Outlaws in Arsenic’ elegantly manages to combine elements of
magic realism, thriller and comedy in a wonderful on ‘On the Road’ western tale
of family reunion” -- LEFTLION
