One Trick Pony

'I was sucker-punched by this exceptional novel. Already a contender for book of the year.' Jennie GodfreyTWO FAMILIES. 150 YEARS. ONE EPIC RIVALRY. Welcome to Pony, Wyoming, a dust bowl town way out west. Thirty miles east lies the Sheehan ranch, their neighbours the Mooney’s just over the fence line. In 1936, the Sheehan girl fell in love with the Mooney boy, letting him into her heart and her bed until she woke up with a gun in her face, double-crossed for the oil running beneath her land. Though it felt like an ending, it was only the start . . . Through twelve decades and six generations, the rivalry between these families will be shaped by the unforgiving landscape they call home. From a rodeo king stealing his best friend's girl, to two young women, close as sisters, running their ranches side by side, to a young hired hand on a dude ranch selling the cowboy experience, and beyond to an imagined future in which two lonely searchers find love - or something like it - as the dust storms close in around them. One Trick Pony is a modern-day Western written by a modern-day cowgirl. Gritty, sexy and heartbreaking, it is set to be the debut of 2027.
