On Season of the Vigilante Book I & II
"A wonderful culmination to the suspense created in The
Bloody Season. As a longtime resident of southern Arizona, I
loved the authentic descriptions of the Sonoran desert."
-Frank Katterman, Tucson AZ
-
- "I very much enjoyed the book. I have read many westerns,
and Season of the Vigilante is tops."
-Bob Petrie, Cunningham KY
-
- "Lively dialogue sparks this impressive debut."
-Books of the Southwest, Tucson AZ
-
- "This book has the action of a Louis L'Amour novel and
the descriptive power of a Zane Grey. It will make a western
reader proud."
-Ron Feldman, Apache Junction AZ
-
- "A great novel. So descriptive it was like watching
a movie, only better"
-Morning Star, Tombstone AZ
-
- "Reading Season of the Vigilante took me back to the
pioneering days of the west. Jonas has the ability to see both
sides of a conflict, to understand killing without approving
or justifying it. He also has a wonderful knack of making his
characters become like friends... This young writer may soon
be known as Idaho's Louis L'Amour."
-Colen Sweeten, Malad ID cowboy poet
-
- "I loved being taken back to the days before the west
was tamed. Jonas' vivid descriptions of the characters put you
right beside them, riding the vigilante trail. My thanks for
keeping the west alive."
-Buck Taylor, Texas, actor/artist
- On The Dansing Star
"Kirby Jonas tells a gritty story of search, action, and
revenge in Old Arizona when it was still a hunting ground for
hostile Apaches and white outlaws, when hatreds ran deep, and
vengeance was not the Lord's."
-Elmer Kelton, author of The Good Old Boys and The Day the Cowboys
Quit
-
- "Finally, a voice as real and honest as thunder rumbles
from the canyons and tinderbox towns of the Wild Old West. The
voice belongs to Kirby Jonas. Every shining detail of The Dansing
Star carries the stamp of authenticity and drums like the hoofbeat
of a sure-footed horse at full gallop."
-Mike Blakely, author of Shortgrass Song and Too Long at the
Dance
-
- On the number one best selling novel,
Death of an Eagle
"Kirby Jonas is one of the best of the young writers who
breathe a new freshness into the traditional Western."
-Don Coldsmith, author of the Spanish Bit Saga
-
- "Death of an Eagle establishes Kirby Jonas as one of
America's most promising Western writers. He writes with the
passion of a young Jack London. For anyone who likes Westerns,
Jonas is must reading."
-Lee Nelson, author of The Storm Testament series
-
- "Death of an Eagle is a tour-de-force of poetic description,
sharp period dialogue, and the kind of action that whitens one's
knuckles. Kirby Jonas is one of the best new finds in an American
genre that continues to grow and deepen."
-Loren D. Estleman, author of Jitterbug
- From James Drury "The Virginian"
on Legend of the Tumbleweed and Lady Winchester
"Legend of the Tumbleweed made me laugh, it gave me chills--not
once, but many times. And…ahhh…dear…it made me
bawl like a baby. I don't know what else you could ask from a
book."
- "Lady Winchester is another wonderful example of Jonas's
compelling, arresting, consuming style."
