    As I shared in my last blog article, my second novel in the Kelly Can Saga Series, A Cowboy's Fortune will be published on Wednesday, January 24th, 2024. 
     The cutthroat world of big oil is very different from the life of a humble cowboy, but if anyone can succeed among all the treachery and danger, KELLY CAN! It's 1919 and Charlie Kelly has married the love of his life, Susan, and together the newlyweds hope to grow the business empire that Susan's father, Walter Kramer, built. Charlie's dream of starting his own oil company becomes a reality, and Susan takes over the leadership of the Kramer Group, but tragedy soon follows triumph. Charlie discovers that the trail to becoming the best oil man in Oklahoma is not as easy as becoming a top hand at the 101 Ranch. It will take more than just financial backing to be a success in the Oklahoma oil fields, especially when family, competitors, business opportunities, and sabotage all compete for Charlie's attention. When the success of Kelly Oil puts Susan's life at risk, Charlie will take the bull by the horns and find a way to save Susan as only a cowboy can. You can pre-order A Cowboy's Fortune on Amazon now.

     To celebrate the release of my second novel I will begin my book tour on January 24th, 2024. It'll begin in Duncan, Oklahoma, at the Chisolm Trail Heritage Center for an in-person interview on the program called Trail Talk. You can see it live at 3:00 pm CST on their Facebook page. For the official Book Launch, I'll be at the Cushing Public Library in Cushing, Oklahoma, on January 25th, 2024. I'll be reading from the book, sharing some music, and signing books at 6:00 pm CST. Earlier this day, I'll be joining Molly Payne at KUSH Radio in Cushing at 9:00 am CST for an interview. The Cushing Citizen newspaper published a very nice article about the book launch.

     I’ll be traveling early on Friday, January 26th to Enid, Oklahoma, for an interview on KNID Radio before my book signing at Putnam Six Books from 11:30 am to 1:30 pm CST. On January 27th, 2024, Then I'll be in Ponca City, Oklahoma, at Brace Books and More for a book signing at 2:00 CST on January 27th. Check my website's Appearances page for more details.

     Each of the locations I am visiting on this tour also hosted me with my first Kelly Can Saga novel, A Cowboy's Destiny. We had a wonderful time at each location and are anxious to return. I look forward to seeing as many of you as possible in person on this trip and over the next several months as I continue to tour.

     Whew, that's quite a list. It's going to be another great adventure. I look forward to meeting new readers and seeing many of you again in the Oklahoma area. Thank you so much to my new and dedicated readers!

Happy Trails,
Joe
