Welcome to the Mason & Thorn Western Adventure Series. This series invites you to ride along with US Marshal C.J. Mason and Deputy Marshal Thorn Hickum in turn-of-the-century Montana, when a bad man with a gun could only be stopped by a good man with a gun. My brother Tom, who co-authors the series, and I grew up in Los Angeles, with our big sister and two other brothers. Our Dad, who himself grew up on a ranch, recalled with fond memories his life on the range. His collection of Zane Grey novels and Louis L'Amour tales testified to his abiding affection for the west, a love he instilled in us. He modeled the code of the west in his own conduct and boiled down its essentials in our upbringing. "How will I know when I'm grown up?" I once asked my Dad. His answer summarized the core of the cowboy code. He said, "You'll know you are grown up when you do what's right even when no one's looking." Our lifelong love affair with the western genre extends from literature to film to music to cowboy poetry. The very idea of "The West" captivates our imagination for that time when the freedom, purity, and solitude of unsullied vistas and wide open spaces wooed pioneers to its embrace. Even now, when we steal away to the cathedral of the Tetons or the vast expanse of Big Sky country, we are enriched by the lullaby of a whispering breeze and the faint scent of sage. We hope that our books capture your imagination as we endeavor to preserve that uniquely American brand that helped to shape the distinctive American character.
