SHOW FOLK is a 73,000-word Western featuring themes of revenge, redemption, and found family among the members of a traveling show.

The Beverly Barnyard Talent Revue travels the prairie, performing magic, feats of daring, music, and comedy in the hard towns and sprawling cities of the West. When a pale teenager named Tommy stows away in the Disappearing Lady trunk after a show in Topeka, he brings chaos with him. Tommy develops a knack for reading minds and blackmails his way into the show. But before long he splits off on his own - running away with the magician’s assistant - and becomes a world-famous faith healer. Now, Tommy has fallen in with a ruthless bounty hunter who will stop at nothing to avenge a decades-old hostility against the Beverly Barnyard. The bounty hunter, the traveling show, and Tommy soon discover that the West isn’t big enough for all of them.

SHOW FOLK would appeal to readers of Anna North’s OUTLAWED, RED RABBIT by Alex Grecian, THE THOUSAND CRIMES OF MING TSU by Tom North, and the works of Paulette Giles and Larry McMurtry.
