Book 1: The Owen Family Saga

Clarence Mulford created the forerunner to the iconic Western hero when he wrote Bar-20 Days and brought Hopalong Cassidy to life.
But this is not the Hoppy of the silver screen and television as depicted by William Boyd in the 1940s and 50s.

Tom Boyd is pushed into a Santa Fe street by the Mexican governor of New Mexico. Boyd slaps the man's face and runs for his life. Agents are sent after Boyd with one order - "Bring him back alive or bring me his ears!"

"Marsha Ward has the ability to grab readers by the lapels, yank them into her stories, and make them care deeply about her characters." - Phyllis Dugan

"Marsha Ward's western novel of love, honor and survival is an exciting ride from beginning to end. From watching his brother marry his fiance to rescuing a Mexican bride when her intended is killed, the story kept me reading with good conflict and plenty of action. Just when I thought things were going a little too smoothly, Marsha throws in an unexpected twist. I recommend Ride to Raton." - Heidi Thomas
