New Release! Barclay of the Mounted

 My latest book, Barclay of the Mounted, has just been published!

 Barclay of the Mounted is the memoir of a young man who, looking for adventure and glory, joins the newly form North-West Mounted Police in 1874. A bit naive and idealsitc, Henry Barclay, a native of Toronto, travels west "... to keep the peace and uphold the right of all." Barclay is an educated young man who quotes everything from Byron to the Bible and from Shakespeare to Shelley.

Barclay finds the territories of Western Canada vast, and in his varried duties, he encounters whiskey traders, native tribes, desperadoes, thieves, and murderers. In service to his country Barclay meets historical figures such as Poundmaker, Sitting Bull, Prime Minister John A. Macdonald, and George Dixon, the boxer. There are also true figures from the Force as well, such as Sam Steele, James Walsh and James Macleod. 

Barclay's adventures are full of excitement and humour, and are told in the style of the pulp stories of the 1930s.

Barclay of the Mounted can be found on Amazon!
