is C.M Curtis and in my opinion is close to Louis L'Amour, Zane Grey, Luke Short.

I read Return of the Outlaw, then The Lawless Desert . I am now reading The Three Lives of David Kelly , not a western but an interesting book.

Curtis is a native of Utah (sometimes called a carrot snapper) but I am not holding that against him....

Amazon has his books for $0.99 (ebooks) which would indicate he is not widely known but I have really enjoyed his westerns. I have one more to read, West of Vermillion, but I am going to wait a few days to start it. I have a tough time putting down his westerns once I start.
