#NewRelease -- A Ranger Redeemed (Lone Star Ranger Book 7) by James J. Griffin -- #Giveaway

The company of Texas Rangers led by Cap’n Dave has come down with influenza. Once the outlaws in the area realize the Rangers are temporarily out of commission, they have a field day—especially a gang of bold train robbers!

Nate and Hoot, along with some of the others who are able to ride, track down a group of cattle rustlers, but not without paying the price with one of the lives of their own.

When the Rangers are able to go after the train robbers, it takes every last man to subdue the outlaw gang and keep the train under their control—or face dire circumstances. Though Nate and Hoot manage to have some fun along the way, they know if the outlaws take the train they’re on, they could lose their jobs—or their lives.

Outnumbered, the odds don’t look to be in the favor of the Rangers—but the outlaw gang never counted on these Rangers being so tough and unwilling to face defeat. Nate’s still the youngest Ranger in the bunch, but he fights back with guns blazing. The robbers got away once, but Nate’s determined this time to be A RANGER REDEEMED…

EXCERPT

     Nate wandered over to the campfire, where the rest of the men were already working on their supper.
     “It’s about time you showed up for your chuck, Nate,” George Bayfield, the company cook, said. “Carl’s been salivatin’ over it. I’m not certain how much longer I could’ve held him off.”
     “If you don’t want it, Nate, I’d be happy to take it off your hands,” Carl Swan said.
     “Only if you shoot me first, Carl,” Nate answered. “Oh, wait a minute. You already did that once.”
     Carl had slightly wounded Nate when, while posing as that outlaw Ranger, Nate had escaped from jail, and snuck back into the Ranger camp to retrieve his horse.
     “You ain’t gonna let me live that down, are you?” Carl said.

     “Not for a long time,” Nate answered, grinning. He sat on a log, alongside Hoot.

  4. You just wrote The Perfect Excerpt. I've written a post on How to Write the Perfect Excerpt, and it seems you know it already..or maybe you read mine. Nice!
    Your series is very good..great, really, and I wish I had someone younger who might read them. But those three think they're grown. So. Congratulations on this release!

  9. Jim, I apologize for being late to your post, but had a sick dog and he took priority over the past two days--he's somewhat better now, so here I am. I haven't read any of these either, but I loved the excerpt and really enjoy reading about the rangers. I too have a granddaughter who would undoubtedly love reading these. But first she'll have to let me read them before passing them on. Wishing you continued success.
