(Note to
readers: We will return to our usual literary nonsense following this brief
commercial message.)
Don’t worry.
Giving up horses and cows is only a temporary aberration for Rawhide Robinson.
Just as our ordinary cowboy hero traded cattle for cats in Rawhide
Robinson Rides the Tabby Trail, in his latest adventures(s), we find
him delivering dromedaries.
Rawhide
Robinson Rides a Dromedary: The True Tale of a Wild West Camel Caballero is loosely—very loosely—based on the US
Army’s experimental use of camels as pack animals in the southwestern deserts.
And if you think herding longhorn cattle and Chicago alley cats is fodder for
fantastical escapades, wait till you read about our cowboy’s exploits on the
high seas and at Levantine ports of call.
As usual, Rawhide
Robinson spins tall tales as easily as a loop, and sailors find his stories
every bit as entertaining as cowboys do.
Western
Writers Hall of Fame member Loren D. Estleman says the book is “rich in color,
texture, and relentless forward movement.” Booklist
says, “Rawhide’s over-the-top storytelling is complemented by Miller’s
slapstick humor and verbal gymnastics.”
Rawhide
Robinson Rides a Dromedary is hot off
the press. Watch the short video
for a taste of what’s inside the covers, and visit RawhideRobinson.com to read an
excerpt. And, of course, buy the book.
End of crass
commercialism. Tune in next time for something altogether different.
