One Trick Pony By Frankie Zwick (Hardback)

Two 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, sixteen-year-old August Sheehan falls for George Mooney. But when she finally lets him into her bed, she wakes up with a gun in her face, double-crossed for the oil beneath her land. Though it feels like an ending, it's only the start...

Through twelve decades and six generations, the rivalry between these families will become as unforgiving as the land itself. From a rodeo star who steals his best friend's girl, to two young women, close as sisters, running their ranches side by side, to a hired hand on a dude ranch selling the cowboy experience, and beyond to an imagined future where two lonely searchers find love 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.
