Praise for Eric Red's Joe Noose Westerns

"Red is a writer who deserves to have his stories told on his own terms, and his latest is a treat...Hanging Fire's world is populated with compelling characters, boasts danger at every turn, and contains an abundance action-packed mayhem with a bloody punch that begins swiftly and never lets up throughout the story. Additionally, Red's writing style is breezy, fun, hard as nails and punctuated with lively dialogue, making for a leisurely read and an addictive page turner. You really can't ask for more from a book of this ilk, and those readers who find themselves constantly searching for new badass heroes will find a new one in Joe Noose should they decide to give Hanging Fire a chance."
--SCREAM Magazine

"Eric Red's Hanging Fire keeps the reader turning pages, one calamity after another...Throw in a crazed ex-lover, a single-minded Arizona sheriff, stir in a forest fire and Noose's pure determination and sense of duty, bake for 299 pages and what emerges is brilliant. Filled with tantalizing descriptions and wild action, Hanging Fire is indeed a classic Western, but with a new twist." --True West

"Hanging Fire needs no exclamation marks. This teeth-grinding, bare-knuckling, swash-buckling adventure keeps readers turning pages long into the night. Yes, it's over the top in violence and gore. Yes, there are scenes that are not only improbable, but impossible. Yes, it's a terrific read." --Roundup Magazine

"This is an edge-of-your-seat novel with plenty of action from start to finish. You wonder how Noose will escape each trial he is faced. It's well-written, with great characterization throughout. This book is a Western lover's dream read...A writer of several blockbuster films, Eric Red is a welcome addition to the Western genre." --Historical Novels Review on Hanging Fire

"Fun intermingled with hard-riding, fast-shooting, plus lots of blood and gore." --Chronicle of the Old West on Noose

"If this isn't exactly the way the Old West was, it should have been." --John Farris, author of The Fury and Son of the Endless Night on Noose
