Overview
What some reviewers have to say about Van Holt�s writing:
�Step aside Louis L'Amour, another great Western writer is here�� --Heather
�I had a feeling that Van Holt�might actually be the successor to Zane Gray, a master Western storysmith, whose novels set the style of a generation.� --Stern0
�Van Holt is King of the Spaghetti Western�� --Rarebird1
THE MEN FROM MISSOURI
Dan got to his feet. �Tell me one thing before I go. If you didn�t steal my money, how did Swope get hold of my new carpetbag? He was carryin� it into your house when I rode out of town that day.�
�Why don�t you ask him when he gets back?�
�I intend to,� Dan said. �It�s about time me and him had it out.� He turned to find Hump Bagley at the door, making angry growling noises. Dan smiled and drew his gun. �You can have her. You and Swope can fight over her. Now get the hell out of my way before I put a bullet in you.�

About the Author
----------------
It is with great sadness that we announce the sudden passing of Van Holt, �King of the Hellbound Westerns.�
He has taken the long trail.
He passed alone in his Tucson apartment on August 19, 2014, at the age of 72. He had been battling several illnesses that eventually deprived him of his mobility and some of his sharp, witty mind.
Van was a very private man and guarded his solitude very zealously. In the last months of his life, he rarely left his apartment. Compelled to finish his last novel? Maybe he felt the end was near.
I was privileged to work closely with Van for over five years, bringing to light most of the manuscripts he had written back in the 1980s and some from the 1990s. Though he was somewhat old fashioned and very shy of technology, (he did not have a computer and gave up using a typewriter only because he couldn�t get his repaired) he was excited to learn about getting his works into ebook formats and available on the internet.
He often spoke of his desire that his characters, the only children he ever had, would live on in the pages and the minds of his fans and readers.
He handed over the manuscript (handwritten) for The Men from Missouri only days before his passing. We honor his last wish in posthumously publishing this last novel from �the King of the Hellbound Westerns.�
I, for one, am a better man having known Van Holt.
Happy Trails, Van. You will be missed. See y�all on the other side.
-The Publisher
Van Holt wrote his first western when he was in high school and sent it to a literary agent, who soon returned it, saying it was too long but he would try to sell it if Holt would cut out 16,000 words. Young Holt couldn't bear to cut out any of his perfect western, so he threw it away and started writing another one.
A draft notice interrupted his plans to become the next Zane Grey or Louis L'Amour.
After traveling all over the West and Southwest in an aging Pontiac, Van Holt got tired of traveling the day he rolled into Tucson and he has been there ever since, still dreaming of becoming the next Zane Grey or Louis L'Amour when he grows up. Or maybe the next great mystery writer. He likes to write mysteries when he's not too busy writing westerns or eating Twinkies.
