Six from Greeley

Greeley, Texas--a frontier town with a bad attitude and a reputation to match. Who lived in such a wicked place? Several compelling answers spring to life in this short story collection spanning more than a century of life, love and lust in the west Texas dust. Greeley plays host to six short stories, each focusing on a special time, not just for this hardscrabble frontier town, but for the entire country. The time line stretches from the Civil War to the aftermath of Vietnam. Sin, it seems, never goes out of style. Some characters come and go; others appear in multiple stories, and some of the most memorable aren't even human. Six from Greeley will take readers on a tour they'll enjoy from beginning to end, and leave them hungry for more from this up and coming writer. The Greeley collection also includes the first chapter of Josh Langston's enormously entertaining contemporary thriller, Resurrection Blues, another town-centered story. In this one, however, the residents don't want anyone -- especially tax collectors -- to know the town exists.
