My grandfather built a house out of sod on the plains of eastern Colorado, my mother was born in that house. I grew up on the front range of the Rockies and when life got rough and I needed guidance, the mountains were where I turned. It was around hundreds of campfires, or on the wind swept summits reaching above the timberline that I found the answers, and strength I needed to carry on. No matter where in the world I found myself the mountains called to me. My goal as a writer is to keep the history, legends and tales alive. Like the storytellers of old I want my tales to entertain as well as educate. The heroes and villains were all a part of the tapestry that was the western expansion. So there will be tidbits of history along with the legends, and a very diverse cast of characters in my tales.
From a review by the author of the bestselling "Hunter" Robert Bidinotto.
Family takes center stage in a number of these stories, and Mr. Voss’s deep love for his own is everywhere evident. Particularly moving are “Christmas on the Mesa,” where a cowboy looking for a lost calf finds more than he bargained for, and “Jo Anna” — a hauntingly sad, stoically restrained, fictionalized retelling of the author’s loss of his own young daughter in a horse-riding accident. Another bit of autobiography is “Airborne: One Man’s Journey,” a vivid account of the grueling training he underwent during his Army days to become airborne-qualified.
Mr. Voss is a product of the American West, and he captures its vast grandeur and legends in such tales as “Apache Tears,” “The Ghost of Hi Jolly,” and “Storm.” But there are surprises, too. “Blind?” is a short story filled with an ominous, tactile sense of creepy menace that would have made a wonderful episode of the old “Twilight Zone” TV series. “Shade” is a futuristic, dystopian thriller that ends all-too-suddenly, with the promise of future episodes that could blossom into a novel. And there’s much more in these pages for you to enjoy.
Edd Voss is an American original. His unique voice rises from the heartland, and his diverse anthology of stories is as sprawling and charming as is the vast country that he explores from the cab of his eighteen-wheeler. This is a terrific collection, and I can’t wait for Mr. Voss’s next book. But you shouldn’t wait a minute longer to buy Rambling
