    On the wild western frontier, the three men known as the Jackals stand between the law and the lawless—delivering their own brand of justice with a fast draw, dead aim, and enough bullets to populate Boot Hill. 
 
 
  
Johnstone Territory. Where Death Rides Hard. 
 
 
  
Apache renegade Bloody Hand plays a role in each of the Jackals's lives. To bounty hunter Jed Breen, he is man with a price on his head. To retired cavalry sergeant Sean Keegan, he is a cellmate after a drunken brawl. And to former Texas Ranger Matt McCulloch, he is the key to a mystery that has long haunted him. 
 
 
  
When McCulloch breaks Bloody Hand out of jail, his fellow Jackals follow them into Mexico. Now, all four are wanted men. The U.S. Army and bounty hunters cross the Rio Grande in pursuit. Awaiting them south of the border are Mexican rurales led by Confederate expatriate Major Block Frazer seeking revenge against Bloody Hand. 
 
 
  
But nothing will stop McCulloch from completing his mission—to save his daughter from the Apache band that abducted her years before. Outnumbered and outgunned, the Jackals will stand together to free McCulloch's daughter—or end up hung, drawn, and quartered.

    Legends are somewhat deceitful. Leaving no room for sequels. Books never written. Stories never told. Until now. 
It is the late 1800s, and Paul Cunningham is about to establish himself as one of the most iconic American folklore figures of all time by logging his way through the northern United States. What he doesn't realize is the ruinous cost of his conquest. 
From singer songwriter David Nash, a heart felt reimagining tale of the folk legend Paul Bunyan. This is a novel that was meant be heard. Read by the author, The Man in the Pines is Nash's first novel. It is a tale of demi-god strength, love lost, hubris, and destruction. It is a story of conservation and, hopefully, redemption. It is the life of Paul Bunyan you've never heard before. 
Included is a special rendition of the song that started it all, "Paul Bunyan's Lament," introduced and performed by the author.
