“Come; join in a gathering of the few, the exceptional. Your needs will be met in style. You need only bring your memories of a life lived in full. We will meet under Halley’s Comet.”

The year is 1910, and this particular group—made up of highwaymen, thieves, painted ladies, cowboys, and lawmen—are invited to a gathering unlike any other.Called together by an anonymous host, the divergent group soon meets to revel in their triumphs and share in their failures.

Their adventures reveal a history of bold exploits made throughout the hostile west of the 1800s—from guns to gambling, all the guests have stains upon their tarnished souls, and secrets tucked neatly away with their six-shooters.

Some of the guests include Gooch—the fastest man alive, Mika—lady outlaw, Shea—a man guilty of crimes of passion, Yost—the sharp-shooter, and Sourboot—a ruthless killer and meanest thing to ever crawl out of the black water swamps of Louisiana. Only one man seems to be connected to the strange assortment of attendees—Pink, the Pinkerton Agent.

Night after night, as the guests take turns telling their stories around the campfire, one thing becomes certain—someone will not survive the week.

“From the pen of western novelist, Robert D. Jones, comes a fiery tale of sordid and stalwart characters, wrapped in a web of intrigue so thick readers will feel glued to the pages,” said Kathie McGuire, director of Brighton Publishing LLC. “Paying homage to western classics like Larry McMurtry’s best-selling novel, Lonesone Dove, The Devil Wept explores the unique characters, panoramas, and language of the old west.”

Robert D. Jones’s great-great-grandparents crossed the Plains in a covered wagon on the Immigrant Trail. Coming from pioneer stock, Jones was born in Roosevelt, Utah, a town in dispute as Indian Territory. A student of the Nineteenth Century West, Robert enjoys collecting and using tools and paraphernalia of the period. An avid outdoorsman, horseman, and weapons expert, he is as comfortable living off the land as he is at home. The Devil Wept is his second novel. His first novel, Winchester: One of One Thousand (http://www.amazon.com/Winchester-Thousand-Robert-D-Jones/...) is currently available in print and eBook formats wherever fine books are sold.
