Product Description

UPCOMING NEW RELEASE!

Lost in the afterlife, Billy the Kid tells his story...

It's Wild West, Silver City, New Mexico,1874. Almost 14, Billy can sing and dance better than anybody, but that won’t save his mother Catherine, who is deathly ill with consumption. When Catherine discovers Billy plans to steal jewels to pay for medicine, she warns him that he’ll hang before he’s 21 if he doesn’t change. Guilt haunts Billy after her death.

17-year-old Billy lands a job working on a ranch in Lincoln County. Everything is okay until a gang comes for Billy’s boss, John Tunstall. His dead mother’s prophecy seems to be coming true. And Billy is drawn into The Lincoln County Wars.

The governor offers a reward to capture Billy, dead or alive, and Sheriff Pat Garrett, the local sheriff, hunts him down. On the run, Billy meets and falls in love with the Spanish beauty, Paulita.

Sing to Me Billy the Kid offers a new perspective on the famous outlaw. As a teen growing into adulthood, Billy experiences racism and political violence. The call to fight injustice draws him powerfully into a web of destiny and a desire for redemption no outlaw can expect.

Sing to Me Billy the Kid is astonishingly well-written. Suspenseful. Beautifully poetic. A wonderful balance between fiction and fact, history and character.” —Gerald Hausman, winner of The American Folklore Society Award. Author of Star Song Series.

"When Jenner digs into a scene and there’s stuff happening, it’s propulsive as hell. It’s wonderful.” —Benjamin Whitmer, author, Cry Father

“Voice can make or break a novel. The unique voice telling this story makes it. It allows us to follow the Kid’s exploits and learn how he felt about his mother, brother, the women he loved, his friends, enemies, God, the law, and his own actions. Kudos.” —Gabino Iglesias, author, The Devil Takes You Home, Bram Stoker Award

"This novel will forever change how you see one of the West's most famous characters. Jenner expertly mixes in-depth research with intuitive understanding to produce the most empathetic re-telling of the Kid’s story I've read. Honestly, I fell a little in love with Billy ..." —Amy Law, author, A Natural History of Trail Ridge Road: Rocky Mountain National Park’s Highway to the Sky
