 An abused, neglected filly is abandoned on a remote country road, left to die.  A young woman grieves the loss of her best friend, the champion horse she had built her life and future around. The heir to one of the largest ranches in Wyoming comes home to face the ire and disappointment of his grandfather.  A world-renowned scientist clashes with the U.S. government over a brutal, decades-long war to decide the fate of thousands of mustangs, a beloved icon of the American West.  Autumn and The Silver Moon Stallion is their story of love, hatred, and death.  Will their struggles give them hope to fight for their beliefs, or tear them forever apart?

  Excerpt 

Al hurried into the garage where the ATV sat and flung the cover off. He checked the fuel, half a tank, more than enough to get him where he wanted.

He straddled it, then keyed the ignition. It started up and he steered it out of the garage, not bothering to close the doors.

Within minutes his clothes were drenched.

He glanced over at the passenger seat. Next to him was the 30-30 caliber rifle he'd taken from his gun cabinet before he left the house. It was getting wet, but he wasn't concerned. In fact, he wasn't concerned about anything.

He grinned as he steered the ATV down the ranch road. He was a man on a mission, finally doing something that made sense.

The machine roared towards the bottom of the switch backs. Al hardly slowed down before taking the first turn. It was muddier than the ranch road. The ATV clawed its way through without any problems.

Al's grin grew wider. The second turn. The ATV fish-tailed a little, skidded in the muck. Maybe take it slower, he admonished himself.

The third turn was coming up, just above Silver Moon Canyon. Al knew there was a turn-off where you could stop and see the bottom end of the canyon. The road was muddier, slicker now. The ATV's lights barely pierced the gloom. He squinted and almost missed the last turn. The ATV fish-tailed again, more seriously this time.

Where was that turn-off? He knew it was to his left. He didn't slow down, instead gunned the ATV faster.

The front tires hit several rocks, the ATV bounced up and down, almost tipping over. The rifle flew out of the seat, disappearing in the rain.
