MAITLAND, FL— Within the pages of Buc Keene’s new book, The Kind of Western I’d Like to Read ($24.99, paperback, 978-1-61904-653-5: $36.99, hardcover, 978-1-61904-654-2: $9.99, eBook, 978-1-61904-655-9), readers will find a story of a West Texas cowboy’s journey on the frontier where Indians and other foes would test him at the same time he’s discovering himself and the man he wishes to be. This book not only weaves together a story of adventure, romance and humor, but also delivers a biblical message to its readers.

“I had no idea where this story was going beyond a rough outline when I started, but when I fleshed it out, I was amazed at what I had written,” Keene writes. “There have been a lot of good quick-read westerns stuck in the hip pockets and read on coffee breaks and lunch hours across this country and there have been a few […] series that took on epic proportions [which allowed] the next book [to become] a must read.” This book is for those who enjoy a good Western novel.

Buc Keene was born in and continues to reside in Washington State. He met his wife Janis in a small country church and she provides much of the inspiration for the romance in The Kind of Western I’d Like to Read. Together they have owned a small cattle operation and now own a feed store and gun shop. They have four grown children and eight grandchildren. Most importantly, Keene allows his faith to inspire his writing.
