I lived with my characters so closely that their lives were still as much a part of me as I was of them long after the issues in which they appeared went out of print, he said. I wanted to tell the reader more about my people and why they did what they did. So he revised and expanded these magazine works to be published again as full-length novels.

His son Jack and adopted daughter Sally, who witnessed the murder, go for safety to a cabin owned by a man called Trent an alias for Kilkenny, who is seeking to escape his reputation as a gunfighter.
In Riders of the Dawn, a young gunslinger is changed for the better by a meeting with a beautiful woman.
