Welcome to the Mobley Meadows website. Gerald Lane Summers’ new Western novel, “Mobley’s Law, A Mobley Meadows Novel,” has now been launched on Amazon’s Kindle Direct program and can periodically be downloaded for free. It is also available in soft-back, “print-on-demand.” A new, more professional cover has been created and will be available on all new books. The book may be purchased at:
Mobley’s Law, A Mobley Meadows Novel
The second book in this Mobley Meadows series, “Curses,” is now available as an ebook and as a print on demand softback. It is a direct sequel to the first Mobley Meadows Novel and includes much more of Mobley’s fiance, Lydia Sweetgrass.
As of October 20, 2012, “Mobley’s Law,” has received 38 comments on Amazon, Barnes & Noble, and Smashwords, with an average rating of 4.9 stars. Telemachus Press and several western writers have stated it is the best western novel since, “Lonesome Dove.” One western writer has commented that it is the best western novel, EVER. Richard Blumberg, MA, a reviewer for the CIVIL WAR NEWS magazine has referred to the book as a, “solid hit,” and is “highly recommended.” David Bishop, author of many first rate mystery novels, has also commented, saying these two novels are the best westerns he has ever read.
I am humbled by all this and will be working hard to get more books out there. The third book in the Mobley Meadows trilogy, “Mobley’s War,” should be available sometime in the first month of 2013.
