—Ocala Star-Banner
“A complex tale of murder, revenge, and retribution … With the right amounts of color, action and suspense, Sherman certainly knows how to make a Western gallop, but his real skill is in his gifted creation of gritty characters who must pay the price of greed and ambition.”
—Publishers Weekly
The Baron Brand
“Sherman writes outstanding Western fiction and knows how to make a story gallop.”
—Tulsa World
The Barons of Texas
“Sherman offers in gentle prose a sweet tale of two likable adventurers on the Texas frontier.”
—Publishers Weekly
“Jory Sherman’s characters seem larger than life, which fits with his subject, for the history of Texas is also larger than life, a rich mixture of cultures, of deep loves deep hatreds, of adventures on a grand scale.”
—Elmer Kelton
“The Barons of Texas grabs the reader by the throat and pulls him in … A rousing good story with larger than life characters and a sense of place so strong the reader can smell the mesquite if he closes his eyes.”
—Roundup Magazine
