Firstly, I don't think I've ever read a western before; you know Western as in cowboys and sheriffs and all that stuff but am I glad that I picked up MILES TO LITTLE RIDGE? You bet! Great story with interesting characters and a whole lot more for not a lot of money.
What intrigued me to begin with was that Heath Lowrance is writing about a character, US Marshall Gideon Miles, from the pen of Edward A. Grainger. To let someone else loose with your creation involves such a lot of trust and Grainger must be delighted with the tale that Lowrance came up with.
The characters and the setting are both expertly drawn, opening up with the Swede chopping wood, unaware that his partner, Christian, was becoming aroused by his hard body and the rhythm of the work. So this wasn't what I expected! Go read this yourself - it's not what you expect!
I always think it's a good sign that I'm disappointed when I get to the end of a story. No, I'm not crazy! What I mean is that I'm disappointed that there's not more, that I've already devoured such a tasty offering and Miles to Little Ridge is definitely one of those stories. I've got other Cash Laramie & Gideon Miles stories sitting waiting on my Kindle and they've now just moved rapidly up my TBR list and I'll also be checking out more of Mr. Lawrance's writing with Trestle Press. Oh heck...I think I'm in love again!

African-American U.S. Marshal Gideon Miles in this first-rate novella dashes the stereotypes of the Old West found in its popular literature. Miles has a firm code of justice as a sworn peace officer, but he wields it with compassion, even-temper, and intelligence as he hunts down a wanted bank robber. This yarn makes for an entertaining way to spend a couple hours reading.

Great western short story - loved it. Easy fun read that took about 1/2 hour to finish. Great when you need a little pick-me-up. Highly recommend.

Love It!
Not much for westerns but this is a great short western story. Full of bad guys, good guys and those who are neither! Packed with action from beginning to the end. Another winner!

Meh
He writes well but he doesn't know his Western history. Get a fact-checker, Lowrance; it would be worth the money.
