The Marshal of Agua Perlado: a Wes Crowley Novel Harvey Stanbrough

Publisher Marketing: Having left his old life as a Texas Ranger behind, Wes Crowley travels to Mexico to seek the family of his beloved Marisol Martinez de Silva. He finds them in Agua Perlado, a quaint, peaceful fishing village in the state of Guerrero. He becomes friends almost immediately with the entire family, especially Miguel, and basically adopts them as his own. The feeling, for them, is reciprocal. Except for one firebrand. The youngest remaining sister, Coralin, believes Wes a showoff and a ruffian. Or at least that's what she says. Coralin blows into a room as if she's a whirlwind and leaves the same way. Although Wes is almost constantly confused by her words and actions, he is intrigued to the point that caution is not a viable option. The one thing Wes knows for sure is he won't go back to being a lawman. But when some banditos come along and murder a member of this peaceful fishing village, Wes realizes he must protect those who deserve it... in his new job as the marshal of Agua Perlado. There's plenty of action in this book as Wes arrests those who would destroy his adopted town, repels attacks and swaps tales with the proprietor of the local cantina, who is also the keeper of the tales for Agua Perlado and the surrounding region. The ride isn't over quite yet." Contributor Bio:  Stanbrough, Harvey Harvey Stanbrough is an award-winning writer and poet. He's fond of saying he was born in New Mexico, seasoned in Texas, and baked in Arizona. After 21 years in the US Marine Corps, he managed to sneak up on a BA degree at Eastern New Mexico University in Portales in 1996. Because he is unable to do otherwise, he splits his writing personality among four personas: Gervasio Arrancado writes magic realism; Nicolas Z "Nick" Porter writes spare, descriptive, Hemingway-style fiction; and Eric Stringer writes the fiction of an unapologetic neurotic. Harvey writes whatever they leave to him. You can see their full bios at HEStanbrough.com.
