"Troy Smith has a rare and wonderful gift. His words do more than take you to another time, more than allow you to live another person's life… they also open that person's heart and allow you to feel its beat. Smith is able to evoke the emotions that will touch your heart, using characters you will remember and think about long after his story is read and its pages closed. His work is a treat. Enjoy!" ~ Frank Roderus ~ (Frank Roderus is a two-time winner of Western Writers of America's Spur Award, and a founding member and first president of Western Fictioneers.)
