COMING THIS OCTOBER: A CJ FLOYD PREQUEL! FIRST OF STATE Robert Greer's latest novel—a prequel to his CJ Floyd mystery series—takes readers back in time to a very different CJ Floyd. It's 1972, and the twenty-two-year-old decorated war vet has recently returned to Denver from Vietnam with post-traumatic stress disorder. Navigating depression, he finds a friend in World War II vet and amputee Wiley Ames, who shares his passion for rare and valuable western memorabilia... "Engaging...reveals much that's new about CJ's background and character...As in Greer's earlier books, the black Five Points neighborhood comes vibrantly alive. This is a must-read for series fans and a great introduction for others."    —Publishers Weekly Read more about the book SPOON Winner of the Colorado Book award for literary fiction! Finalist for a Spur Award Make time for SPOON, an engrossing literary novel from Robert Greer about a half-black, half-Indian man searching for his roots. Arcus Witherspoon comes to work for the Darleys as a ranch hand, but he ends up becoming a friend and mentor to their son, T.J., and a resolute ally when a coal company begins to pressure the Darleys to sell. Set in Montana's ranch land, this is a story about family, identity, and as always for Robert Greer, about our land and way of life in the West. A moving, memorable, and suspenseful tale. Interview with Robert on Colorado Public Radio (July 2010) Read an interview with Robert here (summer 2009) "Vividly presents the realities of life on a cattle ranch. Larry Watson's Montana 1948 comes to mind as a readalike."    —Library Journal "With Spoon, Robert Greer tells the story of a modern-day range war in wildfire prose both taut and lyrical."    —Craig Johnson, author of Another Man's Moccasins and The Dark Horse "An enormously engaging novel with characters who feel like old friends and a spirit as big as the West. From the opening paragraphs, you are in the hands of a master with the ability to evoke the grandeur of the still untamed western landscape and the folks whose lives are shaped by it. What a gifted storyteller Robert Greer is! Spoon is the kind of story you will remember."    —Margaret Coel, author of The Silent Spirit For more information, please click here.
