THANK YOU VETERANS!
“Epic storytelling, detail, and dialogue. Rascals! Passions! Action! Real!
Keep writing the Threads West series!”

REID LANCE ROSENTHAL Reid is fourth generation land and cattle. His cowboy heart and poet’s pen captures the spirit of the western landscape and its influence on generations of settlers. His long-standing devotion to wild and remote places, and to the people—both past and present—who leave their legend and footprint upon America and the American West, is the inspiration and descriptive underpinning of all of his writing. “If your mind and spirit are seduced by images of windswept ridge tops, fluttering aspen leaves caressed by canyon breezes, and the crimson tendrils of a dying sun…if your fingers feel the silken pulse of a lover and your lips taste the deep kisses of building passion…if nostrils flare with the conjured scents of gunpowder and perfume, sagebrush and pine, and your ears delight in the murmur of river current…if pride fills you at the wind driven snap of the flag…if your heart pounds at the clash of good and evil and, if with each twist and turn of interlaced lives. If you feel a primal throb, then I have accomplished my mission.”

Reid Lance Rosenthal has done it again in Maps of Fate…as riveting as the first book of the series…This book is a page-turner by an author with a deep love and respect for the unvarnished and rarely written-about history of the American West, including Jewish cowboys/settlers from Europe…the struggles of settlers, cowboys, mountain men, Native Americans and slaves… The Native American threads of the story ring true and poignant, as authentic and moving as Dances with Wolves. Far more romantic/sexy than McMurtry ever wrote, The women are not just eye candy in a costume historical. Maps of Fate is the real thing, and this story has a real feel of how the West was won, by men AND women… highly recommended read, five stars!

The adventure and romance of America, Her people, Her spirit, and the West. The ongoing story of us. This is our story.
Second and immediate #1 Best Selling book of the #1 bestselling, Threads West series, recipient of eight National Awards—Western, Romance and Historical Fiction! Compared by reviewers, authors and readers alike to Lonesome Dove, Centennial, and L’Amour. (With steam!)
Set in 1855, Book Two continues the page-turning tale of four richly-textured, complex generations of unforgettable personalities. Suspense builds as they hurtle towards unknown destinies, propelled by one adventure, danger, romantic twist and encounter to the next.
Forged in the crucible of history, shaped on the anvil of a dangerous land, the threads of their lives and torrid loves interweave with the evolution of the West. Armed conflicts, the rancor of slavery, and the discovery of gold, all create lethal surprises when the characters are forced to defend their lands, their loved ones, and their honor. The tragic story of the Indians begins to unfold. New characters with dark hearts, lost souls, and hopeful innocence, color the tapestry of this epic saga. Others, in search of place and rightful freedom, catapult into the story.
An unexpected convergence of events sets in motion the thrilling, yet heartrending Conclusion of Book Two, setting the stage for the passionate tumult of the third book of the series.
This is not only their story. It is our story. In honor of the brave men and women who have built and defended this nation.
It is Threads West, An American Saga.

Mac lowered the spyglass. “It’s Zeb, and he ain’t wasting no time getting back.” His great bushy eyebrows furrowed in contemplation. “Reuben, tell folks to get out their rifles and gather in every other wagon. Get five men on horses, and come back up here. I’d choose Johannes, Charlie,John, Harrris and that swine Jacob. he is always looking for a scrap.” He nodded down at the holstered Colt on Reuben’s hip. “I would take the thong off that hammer, son.”
She felt the fire in the smooth caress of his fingertips as they traced across her breast, lingered, then continued down her hips and came to rest lightly, longingly, on the concave valley of smooth belly between her hips. The smell of him, and them, mingled with the fragrance of sun-baked sage.
“Don’t you dare ‘now Lucy’ me,” she wagged her finger at him, the digits crooked from years of manual labor. “You know it’s against the law for our kind to read.” Peeling the thick-glassed spectacles from one ear, and then the other, Israel ignored his wife, cleaned the lenses with his shirttail, and thought about what he had just read: “New York-January 17, 1855- “Slaves Find Help In Escape.”
“That is called a holy iron. It is the weapon of the hairy-faced ones,” had been the response to his inquisitive tug on his father’s loin cloth. The memory dissipated, and the promise of the spring dawn and later lovemaking were carried away by the east breeze; only to be replaced by a feeling of foreboding deep in Eagle Talon’s spirit.
The farmer spoke in a cracking voice. “Whatever you want. Please, this is all we have.” The Smoothbore lay across Black Feather’s forearm, its muzzle pointing at the man’s head. “We already know that we can have whatever we want.” Black Feather let his eyes slip to the hysterical girl. Her gangly shape was just taking on the form of a woman.

READ BY THE THE AUTHOR REID LANCE ROSENTHAL
The book is riveting and the story line captivating. I didn’t want to put the book down once I was started. I have never read Romance or Western novels and I thought this read would be a stretch for me but as I got into the story I immediately became engaged and found myself immersed in each word as the tale, the characters and their lives unfolded.

As I began reading Maps I found myself swept back in time and fully immersed into the story. The characters are real….I felt like I was there with them..Never have I been so moved by the written word of another.. I wept so many tears for loves lost, battles fought and hearts broken. You could feel the emotion that they felt. Not to spill the beans, but…I felt much satisfaction from a little revenge!!

Americans may have started out on a million different paths, but it’s the strength, determination, and perseverance that all American ancestors had in common, regardless of where they came from and how, that created your purpose. As a Canadian, and a proud one, I know that we have a similar heritage. But whereas we describe our country as a mosaic, we see yours as more of a melting pot. There’s a lot to be said for that. And Rosenthal says it beautifully.

“I downloaded Threads West and was quickly captivated. Easy to appreciate how some readers have read it front to back at one sitting! It is obviously nurtured in the heart, driven by a love of land and country and the results are destined to bring great pleasure to many readers. I know this tale will ignite many readers with a forgotten love and appreciation for the heritage of this great country and a clearer commitment to overcome the challenges that lie ahead. There may well have been a reason that Threads West should appear at this time!”
~Ron Liston, Colorado
“My girl friend bought your Threads West book. Then she insisted that I read it. A western romance? I groaned and thought I would pretend to keep her happy. I did not stop until I read the whole thing. For once, real characters in real situations, with real reactions. A great story, too. I am buying book two, and she will have to get it from me.”
