Guthrie, James A. Michener, Ruth Beebe Hill, Glendon Swarthout, Larry McMurtry, Cormac McCarthy, and Barbara Kingsolver.
"The violence and brutality of this harsh tale reminds one of Cormac McCarthy's wandering masterpiece, Blood Meridian. DB Jackson's excellent second Western brands him as a coming talent in the classic old genre."
—Miles Swarthout, screenwriter of John Wayne's The Shootist.

The final conflict comes down to a standoff between the mother of two small children and the matriarch of the wolf pack, both willing to fight to the death to protect their offspring. The final resolution is a heart-rending denouement that could only be reached by two strong mothers.

THE COLLECTOR:
Calvin Bonner and his wife lose a newborn child the same year they lose their cattle to a great freeze-up. Destitute and out of options, he turns to robbery. At first, just wayward travelers on a lonely highway— and then he graduates to trains, and finally a bank.
The bank job provides him with enough money to quit his life of crime, but fate has more in store for him until he eventually has to come to terms with his wrongdoings in a plot twist we do not see coming.
It’s a raw and redemptive story of the good and the bad of human nature.
