“TWO FOR THE PRICE OF ONE!”
From acclaimed western author L. J. Martin comes two of his THE KIN series, Wolf Mountain and McKeag’s Mountain. Wolf is peppered with history, based upon a true tale when ranchers risked all to drive 200 head of beef to General Mile’s Cantonment at the confluence of the Tongue and Yellowstone Rivers when he was preparing to run down Sitting Bull and Crazy Horse; McKeag’s is a classic tale of revenge and retribution. If these were print books you’d be getting almost 700 pages of exciting, cant’-put-it-down reading pleasure. And when you love these, there are more in The Kin series, each book standing alone so they don’t have to be read in order. Available in Kindle format: Wolf Mountain / McKeag’s Mountain
NYT bestselling author (and wife) Kat Martin
Currently living in Missoula, Montana, Kat is the New York Times bestselling author of over fifty Historical and Contemporary Romance Suspense novels. Before she started writing in 1985, Kat was a real estate broker. During that time, she met her husband, Larry Jay Martin, author of more than twenty books, both westerns and mysteries. Kat is a graduate of the University of California at Santa Barbara, where she majored in Anthropology and also studied History.
“I’ve always loved books. I was an avid reader, with any number of my own stories rolling around in my head. Writing them down seemed a logical step.”
“I love anything old,” Kat says. “I love to travel and especially like to visit the places where my books are set. My husband and I often stay in out-of-the-way inns and houses built in times past. It’s fun and it gives a wonderful sense of a by-gone era.”
