Conroca Publishing and KDP Direct Announce Debut of David Martin Anderson's Novel, Beaty Butte

Boerne, TX, November 15, 2019 --(PR.com)-- ConRoca Publishing has teamed with KDP to release their second David Martin Anderson novel in the "Billy Bartell" series. The sequel to The Last Good Horse, titled Beaty Butte, was added to Amazon's historical fiction list in November and continues where the protagonist, Billy Bartell, languishes in a Montana prison cell, ten years into a life sentence for murder. In the prequel, then- seventeen-year-old Billy rescues the last herd of wild mustangs atop Pryor Mountain but to do so he must kill a cowboy hellbent on slaughtering the last few horses. This lands young Billy in prison without a chance of parole. Now, in 1949, Billy manages the prison's first feral horse rescue program, breaking wild mustangs and turning troubled inmates into upstanding citizens. It is while he is on a 2-day furlough to attend a funeral that Billy discovers his ex-lover's eleven-year-old daughter is alive on an Oregon ranch about to be foreclosed upon. Billy must chose to flee to Oregon to help raise the girl and rescue the ranch or return to prison keeping his word to the warden. At that moment, Beaty Butte becomes two separate parallel stories propelling the reader down two what-ifs possibilities. Beaty Butte has already received rave reviews for its unique plot and finely crafted writing style.

Beaty Butte's prequel, The Last Good Horse, is listed by Amazon as one of the 20 greatest horse stories ever told; both novels were finalists for the distinguished Faulkner-Wisdom literary award.
