How to Read the World of Bullets from Wolfpack Publishing

If you are interested in stories inspired by the myth of the West with a fantastic twist, the World of Bullets might be for you.

When I set out to be an author of contemporary Westerns, my aim was to bring the myth of the West into our world today and showcase how the spirit forged on the frontier is still alive and kicking. That was the idea that led to the Bullets Trilogy. These are tall tales of today, filled with gun-slinging action, mysterious adventure, and even a few otherworldly surprises. These stories are also unlike anything you’ve read before, blurring the lines between history and fiction, born of the same grit and determination that shaped the American West.

Before completing Book 1 of the Bullets Trilogy, I knew Wolfpack Publishing was the right home for this story. Their efforts to support the Western genre and so many talented authors have made them a force to be reckoned with, as well as the ideal publisher to partner with. One thing is for sure, the Wolfpack Publishing lineup will always keep your TBR pile full.

THE BULLETS TRILOGY

The Bullets Trilogy is a sprawling epic spanning across generations, and the best part?

It’s just the beginning.

Book 1 of the Bullets Trilogy — A Day Late and a Bullet Short

David “Davy” Patton’s once beloved service as a park ranger in deep East Texas has left him dreaming of a real adventure—until he finds out the tall tales he keeps alive aren’t so tall at all.

When an ancient Caddo artifact known as the Eternal Flame is uncovered, a deadly Native woman named Rose crashes into his life desperately searching for the lost treasure of a long-dead outlaw. Trailed by conquistador descendant Damian De León and a mysterious gunslinger by his side, Davy joins Rose on a treasure hunt generations in the making.

As their journey challenges the line between life and death, taking them from the hidden depths of the gulf to the bright constellations above, they race to be the first to find the outlaw’s treasure. If they can claim it for their own, the fall of a stolen empire and a future few have dared to dream for awaits. But if they fail, the De León dynasty’s next conquest will drive the final nail in the coffin of a family betrayed through time.

Join this dangerous quest, where being a day late and a bullet short means the difference between gaining a fortune…and meeting a fatal end. Grab your copy of this contemporary Western adventure today!

Book 2 of the Bullets Trilogy — Three Bullets to the Wind

Cannon Hunter is a man who seemingly has it all. More money than he can spend, a family who would do anything for him, and a career dedicated to protecting what’s left of his people. But there’s one thing that eludes him—the truth about his father.

After more than a year of chasing one dead end after another, Cannon’s search leads him to the Nations Heritage & Culture Preservation, which claims to have the answers he’s been so desperately seeking. His only lead? The Major James Out West traveling train tour, a spectacular show inspired by Buffalo Bill Cody himself. Bringing real-life gunslingers and cowboys to modern audiences, Major James dazzles crowds with grand historic reenactments. But behind the scenes, the enigmatic showman has darker ambitions—he plans to resurrect an ancient threat from the Wild West to secure his place in history.

To stop the Major’s one-way ticket to disaster, Cannon gathers an unlikely team, including breakaway roper Cathay Fields and bullfighter Jim Bob, to pull off the impossible—a modern-day train robbery. As they race against time, Cannon must decide if this journey will finally reveal the truth about his heritage, or if it’s just three bullets to the wind.

Dive into this neo-Western, where old ghosts cast long shadows and uncovering the truth might be more dangerous than leaving it buried. Grab your copy of this contemporary men’s adventure novel today!

A FAMILY REUNITED. A LEGACY THREATENED.

Thomas Hunter has found untold success standing on the shoulders of his family’s birthright. Thousands of acres of black gold have yielded more mailbox money than he could ever spend, putting him on the fast track to an easy life. Kaya Hunter has forsaken it all, instead choosing to advocate for those who have had their futures stolen by forces few dare to stand against.

When they each receive a letter warning them their family is under attack, Thomas and Kaya return home, only to find a mythical terror once lost to Caddo legend unleashed on the historic town of Jefferson. There is no money for repairs, much less time to chase things that go bump in the night—until an enigmatic man named Cassidy promises to save the city. He pledges unimaginable opportunities, and backed by millions of dollars and a deed to thousands of acres, he single-handedly leads the charge to revitalize the small East Texas town—by any means necessary.

Putting their history behind them to protect what matters most, Thomas and Kaya work to expose the would-be savior hellbent on using every trick in the book against them and fight to reunite their family in a desperate showdown for the final American frontier.

THE BULLETS LEGENDS

The World of Bullets doesn't stop there, though. I created the Bullets Legend series to mythologize the world I know—where old bloodlines clash with new threats, and one bullet can change everything—but also to keep alive the legacy of Wild West icons and the moments they carved into history. Legacies of people like Robert Ford and Jesse James, the Wyatt Earp and his brothers, and Annie Oakley take the stage in my neo-Western novels for today’s readers.

These are standalone thrillers that expand the universe I first brought to life in the Bullets Trilogy. Published by Wolfpack Publishing and available now on Amazon in ebook and paperback, each Bullets Legend novel delivers high-stakes action, unforgettable characters, and that signature Texas grit. Whether you’re new to the series or catching up, here’s your official guide to every book in the Bullets Legend lineup.

Book 1: The Coward Rob Ford

The Coward Rob Ford: A Contemporary Western Thriller Series (Bullets Legend Book #1)

by Nicholas Osborn, Wolfpack Publishing

A DEADLY STANDOFF THAT COULD REWRITE HISTORY.

Robbie B. Ford has been called a coward since the day he was born. He never amounted to much—just a modern-day cattle rustler earning pennies on the dollar—but it was enough to keep the law on his heels. A man more lonesome in a crowd than just the Texas stars for company, Rob lived on the run, surviving by a simple deal: steal cattle for the man he called Bossman, and in return, stay fed and out of handcuffs. Break the deal, and Bossman would break him.

His only escape comes in the form of an old journal, each entry signed simply “Bob.” It tells the forgotten tale of a man who rode with the outlaw Jesse James—but the story feels too familiar. The pages speak of a life Rob seems to remember, a legacy he once turned away from. There’s a strange power in the words, pulling him toward a truth buried in the past.

Now, with the county sheriff closing in and Bossman demanding more cattle than any rancher can afford to lose, Rob is caught between the law and a ruthless criminal network that refuses to stay on one side of the border. His only chance at survival may lie in a book written over a century ago—if he can unlock its secrets before history repeats itself.

Book 2: The Fighting Earps

The Fighting Earps: A Contemporary Western Thriller Series (Bullets Legend Book #2)

by Nicholas Osborn, Wolfpack Publishing

THE LEGACY OF A LAWMAN IS ABOUT TO BE TESTED.

The Holliday Ranch stands as the hard-fought heartbeat of Virgil and Angel’s marriage. Born from the same bloodline of the legendary gunfighter Doc Holliday, one of the largest cattle ranches west of the Red River has become a historical landmark of hope, sweat, gunpowder, and grit—but it is on the verge of collapse. Debts are piling high, rustlers circle like wolves, and big money wants to buy them out—or burn them down trying.

When two strangers ride in, everything changes. One is Joe Clanton, offering a quick sale and an easy end. The other calls himself Wyatt Earp. Says he’s chasing something buried in the dirt—something worth fighting for. Virgil doesn’t trust either one, but Angel knows a battle’s coming, and they’ll need more than hope to win it.

As old bloodlines rise and long-dead feuds spark back to life, bullets fly and legends return to the dust. With his brother Morgan at his side, Wyatt steps into a war where justice doesn’t wear a badge—and the past refuses to stay buried.

Book 3: Sure Shot

Sure Shot: A Contemporary Western Thriller Series (Bullets Legend Book #3)

by Nicholas Osborn, Wolfpack Publishing

ONE SHOT TO MAKE IT RIGHT.

Phoebe Ann was born with a steady hand and a dead aim. Her Winchester 1873 was her pride, a gift from her father—the only one he ever gave her. But after he’s wrongfully imprisoned, and that rifle ends up in the hands of a man named Butler—a man she once trusted—Phoebe’s world begins to unravel.

Years pass. Butler builds an empire. Phoebe is left behind, scraping by in the same rundown cabin she grew up in, hunting to keep her and her mother fed. Then one day, Butler’s voice echoes from the radio, announcing a grand event to celebrate Texas’s new governor: rodeos, wild crowds, and the first-ever Texas Sure Shot —a shooting competition with a prize no one can ignore. The winner gets an executive order from the governor himself. The kind that could set a man free.

To save her father, Phoebe enters the fight. But to win, she’ll have to step into a spotlight built by the man who betrayed her—and face every ghost she’s tried to outrun. Locked, loaded, and burning for justice, Phoebe Ann has only one shot to rewrite her story. And if she’s not afraid to love a man… she’d better not be afraid to shoot one.
