The Grave of Marcus Pauly - Wayne D. Dundee

"An old grave...
A determined woman...
An ex-con with a conscience...


Annabelle Heath travels west on a mission to fulfill her mother's dying wish. To do so, she needs the help of a man once in prison for bank robbery.


Ford Ramsey needs his job at the stable and has no time to take off on a foolish errand. But something about this woman makes him rethink his first inclination.


Together, they ride into wild country to look for a long ago grave and find more than either has bargained for."


I've mentioned here before that Wayne Dundee's DISMAL RIVER is one of the best Westerns I've read in a long time, and now he has a new Western e-book out, THE GRAVE OF MARCUS PAULY. It's a really fine story, too, with sharply drawn characters, some very evocative writing about the frontier landscape, and a poignant sense of melancholy about the passing of time and people's dreams. Plus some excellent action scenes and a very powerful ending. All in all, this is a splendid piece of work, as we've come to expect from Wayne Dundee. Highly recommended.

Wow, thank you for spotlighting my work and for the kind words, James. I've been wanting to break into Westerns for a long time and, now having taken the plunge, it is very gratifying to get a positive response from an established pro like you. Thanks again. ---WD---
