Thomas Savage (1915—2003) was one of the intermountain West's best novelists. His thirteen novels received high critical praise, yet he remained largely unknown by readers. Although Savage spent much of his later life in the Northeast, his formative years were spent in southwestern Montana, where the mountain West and his ranching family formed the setting for much of his work. O. Alan Weltzien's insightful and detailed literary biography chronicles the life and work of this neglected but deeply talented novelist. Savage, a closeted gay family man, was both an outsider and an insider, navigating an intense conflict between his sexual identity and the claustrophobic social restraints of the rural West. Unlike many other Western writers, Savage avoided the formula westerns— so popular in his time— and offered instead a realistic, often subversive version of the region. His novels tell a hard, harsh story about dysfunctional families, loneliness, and stifling provincialism in the small towns and ranches of the northern Rockies, and his minority interpretation of the West provides a unique vision and caustic counternarrative contrary to the triumphant settler-colonialism themes that have shaped most Western literature. Savage West seeks to claim Thomas Savage's well-deserved position in American literature and to reintroduce twenty-first-century readers to a major Montana writer.

He stole me for business. Then he used me for pleasure. My head is screaming at me to run for my life. But my heart is begging for just one more night with the biker. CHOPPER Women are like chewing tobacco to me: Enjoy 'em while they last, then spit 'em out when you're finished. The girl from the night at the bar was no different. One night of brutal, violent f**king, and then I sent her packing. I was sure I'd never see her again. So how the hell did she end up tied to a chair in my MC clubhouse basement? KELSEY I might die if I have to spend a single second more bent over spread-eagle for the foul, disgusting biker who's claimed me as his old lady. I need to get away from this monster and his hellhole. But how? I'd worked my way into this club because I needed closure to a mystery that's haunted me. But I never thought to have a plan for how to get out. Then Chopper kicked the door down and stole me for himself. He's everything I've been taught to fear. Violent. Vicious. Crude. Commanding. Tall and tattooed, with a body like a statue and a booming, raspy voice like the devil himself. He tells me I'm going to serve him and I'm going to like it. And as much as my inner voice is pleading with me to cut my bonds and run away as fast as my feet can carry me… I just can't do it. Because Chopper is the father of the baby in my womb.

"In 1851, a war began in what would become Yosemite National Park, a war against the indigenous inhabitants that has yet to come to a real conclusion. A century later - 1951 - and about a hundred and fifty miles away, another war began when the U.S. government started setting off nuclear bombs at the Nevada Test Site. It was called a "nuclear testing program" but functioned as a war against the land and people of the Great Basin."--

Lion City Narratives: Singapore Through Western Eyes fulfils four aims. First, it is a study of subjective Western impressions of Singapore's 145 years (1819-1963) of colonial history. The study is not meant to be an in-depth historical analysis of Singapore, but rather to give the reader an impressionistic account of how Western residents viewed Singapore over the decades. Second, this study could be seen as a short biography of Singapore's evolution as a city. The chapters on the imageability of Singapore and its urban morphology provide a holistic perspective of Singapore's urban dynamics. Third, this book provides a cultural insight into Singapore's population, both White residents and transient visitors, as well as the locals or Asians. Fourth, it opens a window into Singapore's development at a time when the West was at its cultural zenith and when Great Britain was the principal superpower of the 19th century. Hence Singapore carried twin colonial legacies — it was the archetype trading emporium between East and West, and it became, for the British, the major point d'appui for defence. Finally, the Singapore colonial narrative is set in a broader academic discourse that allows the reader to see a wider picture of Singapore's colonial development.The book does not attempt to make a definitive statement about the Western involvement in Singapore; it deals more with an association of many subjective Western perspectives that add colour to the liveability of the tropics, perceptions of the exotic Orient, and the myriad views of ethnic groups. Without the Western writings, paintings, and maps, academia would have minimal records of Singapore's development. As a new colony in the early 19th century however, Singapore's growth has been extremely well documented.This book will appeal to Singaporeans interested in understanding Singapore's colonial past, Westerners interested in the Western cultural persona in the development of Singapore, researchers dealing with the urban development of less-developed countries and colonial development in the tropical world, and lastly, academics who are interested in Singapore and the region's political and economic development as a case study.

Abducted by Blackfoot Indians, Martha Vinings fears for her very life. But in the camp of her captors, she unexpectedly learns the true meaning of freedom. After serving in the Civil War, Clay Culver vows never to fight again . . . until he gets word of his sister’s abduction and has to wage a war of his own. Clay’s search takes him deep into the heart of a savage conflict raging among the Blackfoot, the Crow, and the Union soldier profiteers he despises. And he’ll stop at nothing to rescue his sister—even if she doesn’t want to be saved. “Rarely has an author painted the great American West in strokes so bold, vivid, and true.”—Ralph Compton
