RED RUNS THE PLAINS is a crackerjack story written by a craftsman at the top of his form. A young boy, orphaned by a massacre, grows to manhood among mountain men and warrior tribes. Along the way he learns the meaning of loyalty and courage, and joins in the fight against betrayal and treachery. A whirlwind of a tale that will keep you turning pages.

It is a really nice feeling, after years of hard work, to have a real story teller, say good things about my work....it sort of makes it all worth the effort. Thanks, Matt, for the kind words.
"Red Runs the Plains" has been totally redone and is due out by the end of April. I am excited about the release, as the book is a real good read. If you like western fiction, espeically mountain men, pick this book up and enjoy the story.

New Survival Forum

I have a brand new survival forum online now at http://www.simplesurvival.net/SMF/
I invite anyone interested in learning to survive being confused in the woods (lost), surviving a terrorist attack, natural disaster, or other related emergencies to visit the site. Join and if you're experienced send me an email from the site and become a moderator.
The subjects on the forum are basic, but you can add new subjects and we can all join in and discuss the information. I want to make it the best survival forum online.
Take care and stay safe until next time,
WR Benton

New Book, Death Comes at Dawn

About half the way finished with a new book, Death Comes at Dawn, about Ty Pisher, Jarel Wade, and Jeb Patton. I've brought all of the characters from past books together, added a few bad guys and drummed up some action. I think the book makes good reading, is exciting, and it's kind of neat to have most of my main characters together in one story. The problem has been the age differences...since the story takes place in around 1870..which makes Ty, Jarel, Teacher, and Zee old men by then. Within the next few days I'll post a short excerpt on my writing site...and give y'all the URL. Right now I don't have the time.
