About the Book
As sleepy as Buffalo Peak's been, legendary marshal, Elwood ""Firestick"" McQueen, and his deputies ""Beartooth"" Skinner and ""Moosejaw"" Hendricks never expected a couple of drifters to wake it up--by kidnapping two lovely ladies in town.Hardly the sharpest quills on a cactus, these dim drifters call it courtin'. Firestick doesn't see it that way. Now the woman snatchers are heading for West Texas with their reluctant brides-to-be--and unwittingly plunging trackers Firestick and Moosejaw headlong into a rescue. With only Beartooth keeping the peace back home, Buffalo Peak's wide open for an outlaw ambush.Sure as dirt, a gang of owlhoots clean out the bank, grab a hostage, and flee, spurring Beartooth on a deadly chase. In one lousy day a lot of people have gotten on Firestick's bad side. And with rifle cocked, and vengeance burning, Elwood ""Firestick"" McQueen is going to prove just how unforgiving his bad side can be.Performed by: James Konicek, Kay Eluvian, KenYatta Rodgers, Michael Glenn, Marni Penning, Ryan Carlo Dalusung, Matthew Bassett, Daniel Llaca, Stewart Crank, John Kielty, Rayner Gabriel, Karen Novack, Laura C.

Marni Penning is a classically trained, award-winning stage and film actress who has performed in fifty-four productions of twenty-three of Shakespeare's plays to date. On the small screen, you may have caught her appearances on Guiding Light, All My Children, Law & Order: SVU, Saturday Night Live, or The Sopranos. Marni has been a voice-over artist for many years and was a disc jockey in college; she studied voice-over for animation with the legendary Pat Fraley, so her specialty is character voices and complex accents. Marni got into narration through the Library of Congress Books for the Blind program, and has appeared in over 100 large-cast recordings for Graphic Audio. Her warm, rich, inviting voice adapts equally well to cozy mysteries, sci-fi thrillers, YA fantasy, and quirky romances. She lives just outside Washington, DC, with her husband, son, dog, fish, and chickens.
Michael Glenn has been a Washington D.C.-based performer for the past two decades and has appeared in dozens of award-winning theatrical productions in the area, including many world premiers like Ken Ludwig's Baskerville and Photograph 51. In the world of audio books, Michael has been a frequent collaborator with Graphic Audio, where he has played literally thousands of cowboys, wizards, mutants and more (including Curran in their Kate Daniels adaptations) in full-cast audiobook serials. A transplant from southern Minnesota, Michael now lives in suburban Maryland with his deeply adored wife, teenaged son, and rambunctious pound puppy.
With over eighty titles to his name, Stewart Crank has developed a reputation as a solid and reliable voice-over artist, consistently delivering quality audio to his clients. Originally from Lancashire in the North of England, his burgeoning audiobook career has seen him tackle a wide array of genres, from historical fantasy to noir and true crime and most recently a version of Ulysses by James Joyce, widely regarded as the most difficult English language book to read in the world. When not recording, Stewart spends his time rock climbing or slowly making his way through his ever-expanding list of unwatched classic films.
