All My Sins Remembered

Pages : 225
Book Description
SPUR AWARD-WINNING AUTHOR ROD MILLER On a lonely road in a remote desert stands a roadhouse. Formerly a home station on a now abandoned stagecoach route, it is the only source of water and supplies for miles. Accommodations are crude and coarse, the hospitality rough and raw, the proprietor boorish and vulgar. Travelers are few and far between, and almost all must stop for water—which comes at a price. A mounted mail carrier who visits the roadhouse with some regularity suspects there is more to the place than meets the eye, and he comes to believe that for some travelers the roadhouse is the end of the road… All My Sins Remembered is destined to join the ranks of the frontier classic. Here is suspense as taut as freshly strung barbed wire, rock-solid period detail, and an emotional roller-coaster ride set against a West that is both historically accurate and stunningly immediate. Rod Miller does what only a handful of writers have ever done: make you care about (and even perhaps root for) an astonishingly evil man. —Loren D. Estleman Western Writers Hall of Fame author One of the more powerfully haunting novels to come along in years, Miller’s All My Sins Remembered stands shoulder to shoulder with such literary classics as Cormac McCarthy’s Blood Meridian and Charles Frazier’s Cold Mountain. A brutal, beautifully rendered masterpiece, guaranteed to stay with you long after the last page is turned. —Michael Zimmer Winner of the Spur Award and Western Heritage Wrangler Award It is not by chance that Rod Miller has taken his title, All My Sins Remembered, from Shakespeare’s Hamlet for this novel. Comparable to the Bard, his book is about madness—with Biblical dimensions. —True West magazine

Book Description
SPUR AWARD-WINNING AUTHOR ROD MILLER With a Kiss I Die is a love story entwined in the tragedy of the Mountain Meadows Massacre. Polly Alden, a young California-bound Arkansas emigrant, falls in love with Tom Langford, a Mormon boy she meets in the settlements of Utah Territory. Caught between the fear and hatred of the persecuted Saints for the emigrants, and the hostility of the emigrants toward Mormons who will not replenish their dwindling supplies, the young lovers defy mistrust and opposition as they aspire to a life together. Follow the trail of the Arkansas emigrants and the blossoming affection of the star-crossed lovers in a compelling, engaging tale inspired by history—and the eternal conflict between good and evil, hatred and love. “With his moving story of young love between a Mormon boy and an Arkansas girl, Rod Miller adds heart to a 165-year-old American tragedy. Set against the background of the infamous Mountain Meadows Massacre, With A Kiss I Die brings to life the chilling tale of one of the West’s most brutal acts of revenge.” —Sandra Dallas, New York Times best-selling author “I like Rod Miller’s writing. He writes with assurance. Mainly I like Rod’s writing because he belongs to the “Go Big or Go Home” School, a curriculum I subscribe to, as well. In With a Kiss I Die, he tackles the still-sensitive story of the 1857 Mountain Meadows Massacre in nervous, riled, frightened, trigger-happy Utah Territory. Give it a read. Make up your own mind. If you can.” —Carla Kelly Winner of Spur, Whitney, and RITA Awards

With a band of Ute Indians, they follow the Old Spanish Trail to California to steal horses and mules, then return and reap the profits in Santa Fe.

Nooch, a young Ute, follows the leader of his band to prove his worth as a warrior. A young vaquero from California, Juan Medina, finds himself involved more from circumstance than choice.

And together they grieve the deaths of more than a thousand of the stolen horses and mules on a mad dash across the dry and desolate Mojave Desert. Based on the real-life exploits of mountain men “Pegleg” Smith, “Old Bill” Williams, and Jim Beckwourth with Ute leader Wakara, A Thousand Dead Horses dramatizes conflicts in the evolving Old West.
