Product Description Sheriff Tom Donovan takes after his father, who was also sheriff of Sundown years ago and who possessed a strong sense of right and wrong. John Donovan, gunned down in Tom's youth by a man the boy looked up to as a hero, left a legacy of justice. But his murder left behind the need for revenge. Tom's moral fortitude is put to the test when his father's killer reappears years later. Tom, together with his father's old partner and now Tom's deputy, Ben, must not only track and face down the most cold-blooded outlaw in his neck of the wild West, but he must also fight the urge to become a murderer himself. About the Author Ann Snuggs grew up in Southeast Arkansas. A born storyteller, she was regaling her mother with stories before she learned to write. As a child, she coerced her playmates into performing in short plays she wrote. From childhood her heroes have always been cowboys, both in books and on screen. In college at Henderson State University at Arkadelphia, Arkansas, she worked on a campus literary publication. After college she began her career as a Jill-of-All-Trades, teaching school - in grades second to junior college and subjects from social studies to English and speech to math to Spanish; working at newspapers as a photographer and feature and column writer; walking hots and rubbing horses in the barns as well as doing publicity work at thoroughbred race tracks; working in multiple positions at a florist; and on and on. She has often said the only two criteria a job must have to be considered are: 1. Have I ever done this before? (Answer: No) and 2. Does it sound interesting? (Answer: Yes). Through all this she has written - something. When asked at conferences, "What do you write?" The reply is, "What do you want written?" At one time or another Ann has written poetry, skits, song lyrics, novels, short stories, essays, newspaper columns and feature stories, advertising copy, whatever someone needed to have written. She writes for the same reason she breathes - it is necessary for her existence.
