Description: The 2016 Will Rogers Medallion Silver Medalist for Western Romantic Fiction, A BRIDE FOR GIL is the first entry in the hard-working, rough-riding BRANDIRON SERIES from legendary Western author Dusty Richards. Newly revised and edited, this edition includes the exclusive Dusty Richards short story, "They Speak of Her Around Campfires."
Brief description: Dusty Richards grew up riding horses and watching his western heroes on the big screen. He even wrote book reports for his classmates, making up westerns since English teachers didn't read that kind of book. His mother, though, didn't want him to be a cowboy, so he went to college, then worked for Tyson Foods and auctioned cattle when he wasn't an anchor on television. His lifelong dream, though, was to write the novels he loved. He sat on the stoop of Zane Grey's cabin and promised he'd one day get published, as well. In 1992, that promise became a reality when his first book, Noble's Way, hit the shelves. In the years since, he's published over 160 more, winning nearly every major award for western literature along the way. His 150th novel, The Mustanger and the Lady, was adapted for the silver screen and released as the motion picture Painted Woman in 2017. Sadly, Dusty passed away in early 2018, leaving behind a legion of fans and a legacy of great western writing that will live on for generations.
