Across the High Lonesome is a modern western odyssey that invites the reader to hitch a ride through the glacial-carved vales and over the high lonesome passes of California's "Range of Light." A journey of love, pain and adventure, brimming with unforgettable characters, salty humor, and recalcitrant mules. |
"I thoroughly enjoyed Across the High Lonesome-It's fresh, readable, well paced-enough nature but not too much. I like Molly and some of the guys."
Larry McMurtry, Pulitzer Prize winning author of "Lonesome Dove" |

Journey to the sun washed resort of Cancun and follow a young American couple, Jack and Josephine Phillips, on an adventure into the jungles of Mexico's Yucatán Peninsula. Adventure turns to terror when Josephine disappears and Jack finds himself on the run from mysterious assassins, the Mexican Federales, and possibly even his own government. In a land where the line between the law and the outlaw is blurred, can Jack survive long enough to solve the mystery of his wife's disappearance? |
"A page-turning thriller steeped in the mystery of the Mayan Yucatán. Clever plot twists and engaging characters make this highly recommended for beach reading. Brumfield has an underground following that can't wait for his next book."
Bruce Conord, co-author of The Adventure Guide to the Yucatán, Cancún & Cozumel |

In the summer of 1960 a legendary director took a cast of movie icons into the blistering Nevada desert to make a movie from a screenplay by a famed playwright. For some this would be a last chance at creating art. The Misfits was one of the most anticipated films of the 20th century, but difficult shooting locations, an unstable leading lady, an aging leading man, a crumbling marriage, and an undisciplined director all conspired to make behind-the-scene events as dramatic as the movie itself.
MISFITS COUNTRY explores the often turbulent relationships between the players and the fine line that often exists between art and life. Marilyn Monroe is the central character and is portrayed in a more complex manner than in the numerous biographies of her life. As Norman Mailer observed, a novelist tells a lie to tell the truth, whereas a journalist tells the truth to tell a lie. Though a work of fiction, this may be the most honest depiction of Marilyn ever produced. |
"Arthur Winfield Knight is one of our greatest storytellers. He makes the weighty stuff of history stand on its hind legs and dance, and his characters, whether made by God or by Knight, are as hard to leave behind at book's end as a house filled with close friends. I'm a fan to the death."
