✦ Synopsis

Arvel Walsh can tame mules, but can he tame the wild Arizona frontier, and the Mexican woman known as Chica, as unpredictable as the land she roams? 1892 Arizona is the last of the wild country in America. Laws are hard to enforce and bad hombres know it. Texas pushed them out of their land with the famous Texas Rangers, can Arizona do the same? Challenged by savage bandits, psychotic serial killers, and anarchists, Arvel Walsh and Dick Welles will have to summon all their knowledge, and all their guts as veterans of the Civil War to make the fledgling Arizona Rangers a force to be reckoned with.
The Central themes of The Mule Tamer are tolerance and kindness, concepts that will resonate with a contemporary audience in the throes of our modern struggle to understand the relationship between the peoples of the United States and Mexico. The reader journeys across the deserts and through the arroyos of southern Arizona, encountering a mystical aborigine, a severed head in a bottle, and side show freaks while discovering that heroes may be found in the most unlikely places, and that a certain beautiful Mexican woman may well be the key to the lawmen’s success and salvation, in more ways than one.
Fast paced and humorous dialogue maintain the momentum of this 74,000-word novel, keeping the reader engaged and making this revisionist Western a welcome addition to the libraries of those interested not only in Western genre but stories featuring strong women who can take care of business. The Mule Tamer employs action, humor, romance, and intrigue, with the right balance of historical realism and characters so strange and intriguing that the reader is assured an escape into a fantastic world of a bygone era.
