Bobby R. Woodall ~ Western Suspense Author

Welcome...

To Hope-Inspired Stories, for anyone who'd like to discover more about books and stories that uplift and encourage.

Several years ago, while teaching high school art, I discovered I was as thrilled as my students when they won awards or were acknowledged for their accomplishments, and that promoting other people's good works was very gratifying. 

So it is my hope you are blessed with a message of grace as I was, through the words of authors featured here. Please join me in welcoming writers of fiction, nonfiction, and devotionals; of romance, mystery, historical and contemporary stories as they share their work. 

We'll have a mix of stories hi-lighted through the month of September starting with a new genre, Western Historical Suspense.

This week it is my pleasure to present Bobby R. Woodall, author and member of Western Writers of America. He's saddled up and brought along his two Western Suspense stories, "Clearwater" and "Mercer's Manor". You'll also find his personal story will knock you clear out of your boots!

Dan Mercer is an ex-Union officer struggling to overcome the atrocities of having been a prisoner of war while forging a new life for himself on the untamed plains of Oklahoma.

So when the government sends him on a quest to find his love and to betray her, Mercer has a choice to make…

Clearwater

Publisher : Independently published (May 12, 2020)

In 1879, a small town in the Indian Territory is robbed by a murderer who has just escaped execution. The town springs in to action and quickly forms a posse – an aged sheriff, a retired Pinkerton Operative, an Indian scout, and the bank’s president, who has secretly embezzled all of the town’s money. Can the town find a savior before the town goes under? A band of men from the East decide to battle the odds and find the killer.
