Caldone

Description

John Caldone served as a fierce Indian fighter with the famed Buffalo Soldiers, courageous black men of the 10th US Cavalry but now they are discharged from the army. He and his men have left to start their own ranch but with a major cattle drive in the offing he receives news that a terrible disaster has struck. So begins his search for a reckoning but these are brutal and callous men he faces. Caldone discovers that vengeful cattle barons have recruited a posse from amongst the worst villains on the frontier to chase down the marauders. When the parties meet it will be a bloody clash that echoes all of Caldone’s earlier battles – the ones he had hoped to forget.

About Tony Masero

It’s not such a big step from pictures to writing.And that’s how it started out for me. I’ve illustrated more Western book covers than I care to mention and been doing it for a long time. No hardship, I hasten to add, I love the genre and have since a kid, although originally I made my name painting the cover art for other people, now at least, I manage to create covers for my own books.A long-term closet writer, only comparatively recently, with a family grown and the availability of self-publishing have I managed to be able to write and get my stories out there.As I did when illustrating, research counts a lot and has inspired many of my Westerns and Thrillers to have a basis in historical fact or at least weave their tale around the seeds of factual content.Having such a visual background, mostly it’s a matter of describing the pictures I see in my head and translating them to the written page. I guess that’s why one of my early four-star reviewers described the book like a ‘Western movie, fast paced and full of action.’I enjoy writing them; I hope folks enjoy reading the results.
