SHE LOST EVERYTHING. SHE REBUILT IT ON A COLORADO MESA. NOW HER STORY BELONGS TO THE WORLD.

Discovery Walkabout Press Announces the Launch of Where the Pines Remember Her Name by Nicholas J. Matyas

Grand Junction, Colorado — Discovery Walkabout Press announces the release of Where the Pines Remember Her Name, a sweeping Colorado frontier historical novel that follows Eleanor Voss, a young Chicago widow who claims ninety acres of high-desert mesa land above Grand Junction in 1920 and spends four decades building a life the frontier never made easy. Set against the stunning canyon country of Glade Park Mesa, this is a story about grief, grit, and the price of belonging to a place that asks everything in return.

When Eleanor arrives on the mesa with little more than a cast-iron skillet and a homestead claim, she discovers that survival demands more than determination. It demands roots.

Key Features and Benefits:
• Authentic Colorado history drawn from real Glade Park homesteaders, including the documented life of Laura Hazel Miller, the legendary cave woman of Glade Park Mesa

• A landmark female protagonist — Eleanor Voss joins the ranks of fiction's most memorable frontier women, carrying readers across four decades of drought, blizzard, love, and hard-won permanence

• Richly researched regional setting spanning Grand Junction, No Thoroughfare Canyon, and the high-desert plateau of western Colorado from 1920 to 1963
• Broad commercial appeal for readers of Kristin Hannah, Paulette Jiles, and Ivan Doig seeking character-driven literary Western fiction

Where the Pines Remember Her Name fills a meaningful gap in frontier fiction — the story of the women who built the American West quietly, without fanfare, one frozen acre at a time.

The pines on Glade Park Mesa remember every soul that stayed long enough to matter. Eleanor Voss stayed.

Where the Pines Remember Her Name is available on Amazon in paperback and e-book format.

Nicholas J. Matyas is an American author whose work explores frontier identity, resilience, history, and the emotional realities of ordinary people facing extraordinary landscapes and difficult eras.

A DEAD MAN. A BRANDING IRON. A VALLEY READY TO JUDGE.

DEAD MAN’S BRANDING IRON, the gripping new American Frontier Western novel by B. Braddock Boone, brings readers into the raw, unforgiving world of New Mexico Territory, 1883–84, where law moved slowly and reputation could be destroyed overnight.

Set in the aftermath of the historic Colfax County land conflicts, the novel captures a region still scarred by violence, contested claims, and fragile justice. Ranchers fight for survival over land, water, and cattle, while the legal system struggles to keep pace across vast distances and delayed courts.

• Authentic depiction of cattle branding as the foundation of frontier law

• High-stakes conflict over land rights, water access, and survival

THE PAST NEVER STAYS BURIED: A POWERFUL NEW WESTERN REDEFINES REDEMPTION

A man who erased his name.
A son who brings it back.

Canyon of the Last Outlaw by B. Braddock Boone delivers a gripping American frontier story where survival is no longer enough and truth comes at a cost.

As bounty hunters close in and a violent past resurfaces, one man must choose: keep running… or finally stand and face the life he left behind.

Colorado Territory and the Southern Frontier, 1878–1882

Canyon of the Last Outlaw is set in the closing years of the American frontier, roughly 1878 through the early 1880s, across
the borderlands where Colorado, New Mexico, and the Texas Panhandle meet. This was not a quiet time. It was a moment
caught between two versions of the West, the one that had grown up lawless and the one being built around rails, courts,
and county sheriffs. The men and women who lived through it did not always know which version would win.

The Purgatoire River country sits at the heart of the story. Named by Spanish explorers who called it El Río de las Ánimas
Perdidas en Purgatorio, the River of Lost Souls in Purgatory, this remote stretch of southeastern Colorado runs through
deep canyon cuts south of Trinidad and north of Raton Pass. The canyons are real. They are layered in ancient stone, riddled
with narrow passages, and cut by flash floods that changed the landscape without warning. Outlaws used them for exactly what Rafe Calloway uses them: cover, water sources hidden from the trail, escape routes that a man on horseback could navigate while a posse on unfamiliar ground could not.

Key Highlights:
• A deeply emotional father–son journey forged under fire
• High-stakes action across rugged canyon landscapes
• A morally complex hero confronting his past
• A modern Western blending grit, reflection, and consequence

In a market craving authentic, character-driven storytelling, this novel stands out as a bold return to what makes great Westerns unforgettable human truth.

Available now on Amazon. Step into the canyon—and discover what a man is worth when he can no longer run.

As ranch empires tighten their grip and hired guns push families to the edge, the fight becomes more than survival, it becomes a test of truth. In a world where anger is easy and proof is hard, one decision can ignite war… or end it.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
A Bold New “Dime Western” Series Revives the Spirit of the American Frontier for a New Generation

Delta, Colorado, USA — Discovery Walkabout Press is proud to announce the release of a new “dime Western” novel series, bringing back the raw intensity, moral clarity, and sweeping landscapes that once defined America’s most iconic storytelling tradition.

At the center of this launch is Where the Dust Remembers Her Name, the first installment in a ten-book generational frontier family saga exploring “Frontier Land, Love, & Power in the American West.” This American Frontier Western novel reimagines the classic dime Western for modern readers—expanding beyond gunfights and outlaws into the deeper battles over land, water, legacy, and survival.

Inspired by the fast-paced storytelling of traditional dime novels, this new series delivers short, gripping chapters, high-stakes decisions, and characters shaped by consequence. But it also introduces a richer emotional core, following families across generations as they build, defend, and pass down what they’ve fought to claim.

“The original dime Westerns captured action,” said the publisher. “This series captures consequence. It shows what happens after the land is claimed—when it must be defended, measured, and carried forward.”

Set against the unforgiving backdrop of the American frontier, the series centers on resilient characters navigating a world where power is not always visible and victory is rarely immediate. Themes of integrity, endurance, justice, and love under pressure run throughout, offering readers both immersive storytelling and meaningful reflection.

Unlike traditional Westerns focused solely on lone gunmen, this saga emphasizes the collective strength of families, the complexity of land ownership, and the quiet conflicts that determine who stays and who is forced to leave.
