Produktbeschreibung

In Revenge Requires Two Graves young Ray Cooper is forced to escape his youth and prematurely embrace adulthood after a series of misfortunate events that happen in rapid succession to the Cooper family. This historically driven fiction is set in the 1860's, United States. This western adventure for teens and adults includes romance, rejection, murder, and revenge.

As a teenager in Wisconsin, Ray Cooper is a confident young man who knows how to survive. He can handle himself with his fists and naturally quick with a gun, but he hasn't got a clue as to the workings of a woman's mind. He was raised by a strong, caring father who had spent the necessary time to mold his character and a mother that showed him both love and compassion.

When the owner of the mill is killed, Ray and his two friends are forced to escape to avoid being arrested for murder. Ray's mother has already been told that Ray and Ray's Pa were killed. Having no other family in the area, she sells the family cabin and heads west to live with her sister. When the three boys hear that the only mother they all really knew is on her way to California, they decide to follow, where along the way they face many adventures and hardships. Unbeknownst to the trio, the daughter of the mill owner has declared vengeance on the three, sending hired guns after them and even heading west herself in order to arrange an ambush for the Cooper gang. Can Ray overcome the trials of the open road, find his mother, defeat his enemies, and lay his father's soul to rest?

Autorenporträt

George Townsend was born in Ionia Michigan. Thanks to the heroic efforts of his mother who downed a bottle of Castor Oil on the eve of March thirty first, George was born (to his mother's great relief) just two hours shy of April Fool's Day.

The Townsends had found early success in ranching, farming, and land ownership. George's parents did not see themselves as farmers and so they left the farm and pursued careers in teaching. Finding work as teachers required the family to move a great deal from school to school and state to state. It wasn't long before George found himself living in Burlington, Wisconsin. He has many fond memories of those days growing up in a city filled with a rich history and loving families.

As a teenager the family once again uprooted and moved west to a small city smack in the middle of the San Joaquin Valley in California. Hanford was a far cry from the Midwest. To his great delight, George soon discovered Goat Ropers, Good ol' Boys, and some real life Cowboys along with a warm, down-home feel. It didn't take long before George fit right in and created the friendships that make up many of the characters of his first book, Revenge Requires Two Graves. The rest of the Cooper Series was also greatly influenced by the experiences of his youth.

George's natural talents as an investigator and researcher of early western America have tied in nicely with his hunger to create great adventures. While always fascinated by this era in history, it wasn't until the birth of his two sons that he realized he had a library of stories to tell. Now he enjoys mixing historical truths with fictional accounts of the old west to bring that same rich enjoyment he has discovered through research and pure imagination to others.
