Here are the two questions to ask about rodeo novels:

1) does the author actually know the rodeo life?

2) does the author write well?

Here the answers are: yes, and yes. A dynamite combination that provides the reader with both a good read and insight into an aspect of American life most of us will never experience.

Dusty Richards knows his horses, knows his rodeo, and is a skilled writer.

Dusty, how you put your words together into this masterpiece is great. I love how you put the human emotions into the rodeo scene. I have your book in my Rodeo Riders collection and am hoping you will write another book for the series. I would purchase it right away. I love your writing style. I am not a rodeo guy, just a spectator, but you know how to make the rodeo life come alive for us out here in the seats watching..
Thanks and please consider writing your next one. I will be watching for it...

I very seldom read a modern type western. I like the old school shoot them up ones. This was bought to try a new forum and the fact that I have read a number of Dusty Richards books and liked them all. The story has the hero a average guy with the usual troubles in his youth that has made it up the ladder to be a top rodeo announcer that travels place to place announcing. Finding a young man who seems to have the natural talent to be a top rider he becomes the father figure. The story has the usual love intrests for him and the young man. Besides holding my interest ( could hardly put it down to eat ) I learned a great deal about rodeoing I had never thought about. All in all this is a great and entertaining book and I hope Dusty Richards writes more like it.
