关于此电子书

Dance of the Bull Rider is the story of a young cowboy’s determination to overcome seemingly insurmountable obstacles and realize his dream of being a champion bull rider through hard work, doing the right thing, and learning that you can still love someone even when you don’t like them very much. When his uncle is killed in a bull riding accident, sixteen-year-old Colt Murray’s father forbids him to ride for the Texas Championship Buckle. But a wise old fisherman teaches Colt to win his father’s approval through respect and honor instead of confrontation. Colt rides for the buckle, but an accident during the qualifying rounds puts Colt in the hospital and his dreams of the Championship Buckle in jeopardy. Publisher’s Weekly Review (ABNA - 2012) said: “…The emotional core and pulse-pounding flashes of action will have even non-rodeo fans cheering for Colt all the way through to his championship ride.”

作者简介

Gary grew up in San Angelo, Texas, where the first day of the rodeo was a school holiday. He is now retired and lives with his wife in the old farmhouse they restored and share with the cats, the cows and horses across the road, and the coyote choir that performs nightly. He is a member of the Writer’s League of Texas and San Gabriel Writer’s League. His varied professional experiences in health care and criminal justice have given him a rare insight into the minds of people who complicate their lives through critical thinking errors and he uses what he learned from those people to develop the characters in his writing.
