Panhandle
"I love a good Western, but they are not always easy to find.  Many of them tend to be rather formulaic and the ending of the story is apparent from a long way out.  Every once in a while I find one that breaks from that mold and when I do I savor it like fine wine (or a shot of rotgut).  Brett Cogburn'sPanhandle is one of the best Westerns I've read recently...  If you like Westerns, but are tired of the same old, same old, givePanhandlea try." - Wake County, North Carolina Public Library System staff review."Nate Rawlins and Billy Champion set out to conquer the untamed Texas Panhandle of the 1880s the only way they know how: driving cattle, breaking horses, and doing a little drinking and gambling. There's an earthy realism and attention to detail in this first novel that sets it apart...[Brett Cogburn] has a deft ear for planting emotion and honesty in his rhythmic cowboy dialogue." -AudioFile Magazine, 8/16/13
