This is a Western story in two parts. The Palmer Ranch with Randy and Sheila on the East end of the valley, and the Ferris Ranch with Dave and Teresa on the West end with the town of Ferris in the center. The first part will stand alone. The second part has the same stand alone quality. It tells the story of the long valley where Ferris Town draws characters from both. Some characters speak in dialect. Ignore the spelling. Sound these words out to get the meaning.

This began as a story within a story and took on its own life. At the end of the first book, I realized my muse had more. The method of writing in which perspective is switched from male to female by chapter is continued. That has been fun and occasionally probably more of a challenge than my skills can handle. It's an exploration of a mature couple as they go through life. It also gives me a chance to write about radio which I enjoy doing as well as writing about. RG
