“....there’s a good bit of fun here, and Peterson’s writing is surprisingly agreeable...”

— Ian Chipman Booklist, November 28, 2006
Seduced by the false promise of easy riches and endless pleasures in the saloons and gambling dens of the raw Oregon frontier
of the mid-1800’s, Jake Eriksson is caught in a quagmire that threatens to destroy him. While traveling with trusted
companion Lafe Cawkins and trying to protect his love, Ellie Warren, Jake must avoid the murderous intentions of Malachai
Winter. The torment that Jake endures in his painful quest for redemption, and the obstacles he conquers on his suspenseful
and mystical journey to recovery, are the ingredients for a vivid, sensitive and moving human drama. The thrilling action
of a wild horse roundup, a stampede and the roar of outlaw guns speeds A Dark Trail Winding toward an explosive and
exciting resolution.
Pete Peterson is highly regarded as a writer and as an award-winning artist whose paintings are featured on the
covers of this and other AVALON books. He is the great-grandson of a Confederate veteran and descended from Cherokees who
trudged the Trail of Tears. He is a devotee and student of frontier history and fiction, and a lover of western art. He resides
with his wife in Oklahoma.
A Dark Trail Winding is Pete’s third book for AVALON.

| The Marshal’s Destiny |
| by C. H. Admirand |
ISBN 0-8034-9511-0 |
 Irish-born Margaret Mary Flaherty leaves New York City for Colorado, carrying the signed proof her brother Seamus needs to
keep greedy landowners from stealing his ranch.
Joshua Turner, U.S. Marshal, is headed to Colorado to investigate charges
of cattle rustling and land fraud.
Their paths cross in the middle of enemy territory, where Marshal Turner comes to
the aid when Maggie’s stagecoach is attacked by hostile Indians.
One look at the handsome Marshal, and Maggie
swears her destiny’s calling to her from the depths of his brillant green eyes.
One look at the fiery-haired
woman with eyes the color of cornflowers, and Joshua wonders if he’s finally found the woman who will teach him how
to love.
C. H. Admirand’s long love of the Old West was kindled by a cross-country trip to Colorado and
the Southwest. She keeps it alive by watching silver screen legends Roy Rogers, John Wayne, and Gary Cooper.
Admirand
attributes her love for writing to her seventh grade English teacher, Mrs. Mildred Smith, her creativity to her Celtic roots,
and her love for reading to her parents. She lives in New Jersey with her husband and their two children.
The Marshal’s
Destiny is Admirand’s first novel for AVALON.
