Saving the Tell by Bob Giel
Part of the Shawnee series:

As the dust settles on the sun-drenched plains, Shawnee, a lone drifter with a past shrouded in mystery, rides into the heart of a battle that echoes with the thunder of hooves and the crack of gunfire. The Tell Ranch, a sprawling expanse of land that whispers tales of grit and glory, is at the center of a showdown between the indomitable Chrissie Tell and cunning attorney Jarrett Bremmer.

In the wake of her father’s death, Chrissie discovers that the very essence of the ranch is slipping through her fingers as Bremmer tries to steal it out from under her before she reaches majority. In this swirling tempest of ambition and resilience, Shawnee emerges as a reluctant hero, drawn into a world where bullets speak louder than words. As the clash intensifies, loyalty hangs by a thread, and the boundary between justice and revenge blurs like the heat waves on the horizon.

The Tell Ranch isn't just soil and stone. It's a battleground where corruption faces off against heritage, and greed stares down integrity. Shawnee's every move becomes a pivot point in this high-stakes duel, where survival isn't just a choice but a necessity in a lawless land.

Amidst the tumbleweeds and echoing gunfire, Shawnee must walk a perilous line, where the fate of the ranch teeters on the edge. In a land where shadows dance with the setting sun, can Shawnee ride against the storm and save the Tell? The answer hangs in the dry, dust-laden wind sweeping across the frontier.

About the Author

Bob Giel

Bob Giel was born in New York City and now lives in New Jersey. Throughout his life, he has spent time in the East and Midwest, but has never resided in any area that could be termed the West, a bit strange for someone who writes Westerns. However, having loved the Western Genre since he was a kid, he has absorbed so much of the period through books, movies and TV that he feels as if he has been there. The colors, sounds and images stay vividly enough in his mind that he can believe he has experienced them.

The grit and the determination of the people who carved a way of life out of the frontier have helped shape the way Bob lives his life. Because of that era, he keeps his word, he finishes what he starts and he is a true friend. While he was always interested in writing, life got in the way, that is, until he retired. With the decks cleared, he began writing and never looked back.

Pride and Persistence

What are we fighting for if not each other?

After a roller coaster of ups and downs last year, Aiden Rothe starts sophomore year on a high. After all, he’s dating the boy of his dreams. What else matters? But Aiden’s hopes for a drama-free school year are thrown aside when a new student captures everyone’s attention: Michelle, an incredibly athletic, transgender black belt.

Fearing a repeat of last year’s bullying, Aiden’s karate club reaches out to Michelle, hoping to recruit her. To their surprise, she already has a team. Michelle is training with local police Captain Decker at his MMA studio, the epicenter of LGBTQ+ hatred in and around Washington High. Soon after, Decker and his notorious partner, Washington High Wrestling Coach Krake, announce a new tournament with a $25k college scholarship as the grand prize. For some, like Mateo, it’s a crucial opportunity-he lost his scholarship chances when he came out and quit the wrestling team the year before.

Can the true meaning of martial arts heal the divisions in this town, or will fighting only make things worse? A rousing story of love versus hate, where hidden truths and life-altering decisions lay behind every corner, Pride and Persistence celebrates the indomitable spirit within us all-the fighter that refuses to stay down, no matter how many times one falls.

Lia is no longer the frail mortal she once was. Her newfound strength, however, came at a devastating price-Arin’s life… or so she believes. Still grappling with Roland’s treachery, Lia discovers she is pregnant, destined to bear the first of a new generation endowed with superhuman healing abilities.

Meanwhile, Roland leads his armies on a relentless campaign across the Borderlands, defeating all before him and igniting fears within the Unity of a rising Resistance.

Hidden in the shadows, though, a mysterious prisoner grows stronger. Arin’s miraculous survival from a gunshot to the brain is a riddle only Harris can unravel, as the rest of the world believes Arin to be dead.

Bereft of hope for the woman he loves, Arin’s only answer is a daring escape into the wilderness of the Unclaimed Territories.

When an enemy from Roland’s past strikes at the very heart of Cambria, the world teeters on the brink of war. Caught in this storm of conflict, Lia and Arin’s paths are destined to cross again.
