Order Phelps's latest book, THEY CAME FOR BLOOD, book 1 in a three-book Tom Callahan Western series from Hatcreek, an imprint within the Roan & Weatherford Publishing enterprise.

"...A fine gritty western with an unanticipated twist. Phelps's prose, dialogue, and accurate descriptions of the frontier takes readers back to the old west and all the brutality that went with it. With a nod to the authors who established the western genre, Phelps finds new, unexplored trails for his fans to enjoy." -Reavis Z. Wortham, New York Times Bestselling Author of Comancheria

"M. William Phelps hits like a Winchester to the gut. They Came for Blood is brutal, relentless, and carved from the hard timber of the Old West. Callahan's hunt for truth and redemption kept me turning pages long after sundown." -Anthony Wood, Will Rogers Medallion-Winning Author of Land of the Blind

"They Came for Blood packs a punch like a belly full of lead. Twists sizzling like hot lightning turn the plot faster'n a barrel racer. A definite must read." -D.N. Sample, Author of Cold Powder Vengeance
