All Plucked Up
Think Indiana Jones meets the Maltese Falcon. Except Indy is a woman and there's no falcon, only chickens. It takes place in Silverville where anything is possible. An ordinary Colorado mining town that may sit on converging ley lines that punch holes in everyday reality, that cause extraordinary coincidences and the occasional UFO sighting. And now...a curse!

Tamped, But Loose Enough to Breathe
Not nearly as awed by -- but still respectfull of -- traditions of rural heritage, the poet writes more irreverently of both New and Old West. This collection includes poems and song-like stories, written in both free verse and form, of real life and legends, including a cycle of poems about his infamous relative, John Wesley Hardin, but told through the voices of the outlaw's victims. By Mark Todd. Published by Ghost Road Press.

Wire Song
"I'm sorry you didn't get to grow up in the country," the poet's mother told him as a child. Later, he learned what she meant. This collection of poetry celebrates living in the New West, chronicling in verse the rite of passage the (then) thirtysomething poet experienced as he struggled to become part of an agrarian community tied closely to the Earth and the natural world. By Mark Todd. Published by Conundrum Press.
