Hot off the Gritty Press!
HOT LEAD, COLD HEART: One Last Mission for Mason the Mankiller. We are pleased to present the release in ebook and paperback formats of Matthew P. Mayo’s 2008 novel. Never before released in the US, HOT LEAD, COLD HEART started out as a hardcover for the Black Horse Western line by London, UK, publisher Robert Hale. Then it came out the next year as a large-print softcover.
The new GRITTY PRESS version is revised and expanded, reformatted in and out, and sports amazing cover art by Gritty Press head of design/principle player, Jennifer Smith-Mayo.
(As a bonus, the new book also includes a sample chapter of the next installment in Mayo’s popular ROAMER series: ROAMER, BOOK 2: THE GREENHORN GAMBLE).
Back to HOT LEAD, COLD HEART…. Who’s this Mason the Mankiller fella, and why is he so riled up?
His Honor Newland Pontiff III, late of Exeter Territorial Prison, now presides over a vast tract of land with the ambitious town of Cayuse Falls at its center‚ town he’s confident he can transform into the ‘Washington of the West,’ given enough time. But a demon from his past haunts the horizon, and time is running short.
Mason the Mankiller, vigilante hero to the downtrodden, has come out of retirement to settle one last score‚ the only one that ever mattered‚ with a man who long ago forgot he’d wronged the famous ‘killer of killers’. A tonic peddler, vengeful sisters, and a reluctant lawman all dog Mason’s trail. But he vows that nothing will stop him from seeing this last mission through to its end‚ an end he knows he won’t survive.
Pick your poison: Kindle, NOOK, Kobo, or paperback, then sink spur, and hang on!

New Gritty Release!
Gritty Press is pleased to announce that WINTERS’ WAR, the acclaimed 2007 novel by Spur Award-nominated author Matthew P. Mayo, is now available in its first US release. With a stunning new cover design, and with revised and expanded text, WINTERS’ WAR appears as it was originally intended — the first in a series of accounts from The Lost Papers of the Winters Family Ranch.
As mentioned in the novel’s new Foreword, while out West on a research trip, the author found a trove of forgotten documents at the abandoned Winters Family Ranch in Wyoming. These lost papers chronicle the long, rich history of that family as members slid into scrapes, tracked rustlers, instigated hijinks, loved and grieved, found and lost fortunes, and so much more — more than a century ago at the Winters Family Ranch, Wyoming Territory, in the shadows of the Teton Range.
Since WINTERS’ WAR first came out, readers have asked, “What happened next to Jenna and Niall Winters? Will there be more stories about the Winters family?” This newly revised and expanded version of WINTERS’ WAR establishes it as the beginning of a family saga, not unlike “The Big Valley,” “Bonanza,” Dr. Quinn,” and Louis L’Amour’s Sackett series.
So Gritty Press invites you to saddle up with the Winters Family, it’s going to be a heck of a ride!
