Praise for Spur Award winner Brett Cogburn

"Fans of frontier arcana will revel in Cogburn's readable prose and lively characters." - Publishers Weekly on Rooster

"Cogburn amazes and astounds." - Booklist

"Cogburn has created a wonderful set of characters...[his] prose is extremely readable, and he mixes plot twists, action and plenty of humour perfectly, making this a very enjoyable read." - Western Fiction Review on Widowmaker Jones

"Brett Cogburn gets it right, and not just when it comes to cowboys. This well-written novel offers up a cast of complex characters in complicated relationships far removed from the simplistic caricatures so common in traditional Westerns." - Roundup Magazine on Panhandle

"A Gritty Read. Cogburn's research helps lend the novel an authentic feel that even those not familiar with the period's history can appreciate...While Panhandle delivers its share of action, it is primarily character-driven...it is the supporting characters who make the story crackle. From the roguish Billy Champion to the lovely Barbara, who has claim on both Tennessee's and Billy's affections -- everyone contributes their share to Cogburn's illustration of the human condition." - The Oklahoma Gazette on Panhandle
