"...a literary novel of the West which stands apart... a gripping saga of discovery, growth and love that keeps readers thoroughly engaged." - Diane Donovan in Midwest Book Review

On the vast northern plains in the 1880s, two young people struggle to find their destinies as the men who rule that savage world fight a life-and-death battle against nature and each other. An imperious cattle baron called the Captain has sought refuge from his shadowy past in a remote basin. His dominion is threatened by the arrival of a down-at-the-heels drover named Slater, who knows the Captain's shameful secret.

Slater's rebellious foster son Rory sets his sights on the Captain's beautiful, strong-willed daughter Elena, who seems determined to hate him, just as an all-out range war breaks out between the two outfits, triggering a reign of violence and terror from which no one on either side will emerge unscathed.

Unfolding against a brooding high desert landscape of sand washes, buttes and badlands, LEGEND OF LOST BASIN is an epic tale of domination, rebellion, betrayal, and love.
"A riveting addition to the Western genre... Skillful storytelling and rich characterizations make this a must-read for fans of Westerns or those who just like good storytelling." -- Kirkus Reviews
