Featured Title
Antler Dust
Author: Mark Stevens
Antler Dust begins with a bang. Two bangs. On the opening day of the hunting season in the Colorado Flat Tops wilderness, two men go missing. The first is a hunting guide. The second is an animal rights protestor who believes his creative suicide will galvanize the animal rights movement. Hunting guide Allison Coil hears a distant rifle shot and sees just enough through the swirling snow to believe somebody knows something—and isn’t coming forward. Forced to follow her own instincts when the authorities fail to follow through, Allison follows the trail of wounds, blood and fear. She uncovers an underground network of wildlife exploitation, frees a newfound friend from the grips of a violent backwoods monster, and finds that even her closest allies have dark secrets to hide.
Praise:
“The number of fine Colorado crime writers just increased by one. Mark Stevens shows the adept touch of a seasoned mystery writer and displays the avid affection of someone who knows and loves the mountain wilderness. Antler Dust is a wonderful, compelling debut — you won’t find a fresher, more satisfying new voice.” - Stephen White, best-selling author of Kill Me and Missing Persons
“With laudably unsentimental prose and sure command of character, Antler Dust takes us on a dark hunting trip through the snowy Rockies. Pitting a tough but vulnerable heroine against a killer out to bag more than elk, Mark Stevens gives new meaning to the term trophy kill.” - Stephanie Kane, best-selling author of Seeds of Doubt (Scribner) and Extreme Indifference (Scribner)
“Reading Mark Stevens is like reading Ken Follett at his best. Stevens takes a superbly drawn main character—a woman who is as sexy as she is resilient—and throws her into a maze of jeopardy that hooks you right down to the last page.” - Mark Graham, author of The Harbinger (Henry Holt) and The Fire Theft (Viking Penguin)
“A high-country thriller that takes the classic Western and turns it on its head. Packed with offbeat characters, tightly written and loaded with great scenes.” - Philip Reed, author of Bird Dog (Pocket Books)
Our Vision
We seek stories that come from our valley and beyond. We believe that each community is made up of its own stories. These narratives act as a conduit that connects people through a bond of community and commonality. We recognize that stories come to life with time, careful cultivation and some tender, loving care. So let us help publish your story, photographs, or poems. And together, we can make history with minds wide open.
