The Denton Mare, a novel by Duane DeMello, focuses on the fabled Texas outlaw, Sam Bass, who fell into a confrontation with the Texas Rangers. He was a charismatic Texan, who's become a legend. In a preface to his novel, DeMello writes, "Some men are born to greatness, others to tragedy. This novel is a fictional account of one of those men: the notorious Texas outlaw, Sam Bass. Set in the Old West in the 1870s, the story primarily concerns itself with events in the train robber's life from the time he owned and raced the Denton Mare to the now famous shoot-out in Round Rock, Texas. It is a story of crime and betrayal told through the eyes of Bass and one of his close confederates, Jim Murphy.

About the Author
Duane DeMello was born in Oakland, California, but grew up in Shive, Texas and always considered himself a Texan. He received his B.A. and his M.A. from the University of North Texas. DeMello served in the U.S. Air Force, owned a newspaper, and worked for two major Fortune 500 corporations before giving up the corporate life to do what he loved best, writing. In Texas he absorbed most of the material to write two novels, The Denton Mare and Texas Gothics. After he moved to Tallahassee to attend Florida State University, DeMello took in enough sunshine to write Mystic Florida. In addition to numerous short stories and two plays, his other novels include Headshots, Lay Me Down, and Hypertext. The Denton Mare won the Houston Area Booksellers Award, and DeMello was later named one of eight finalists for the prestigious Drue Heinz Literature Prize.
