A living Western town
More than
a setting.
Redstone Crossing is home to roughly three hundred people when the first novel begins. The sheriff and his deputy are only one part of its life. There are merchants, ranchers, neighbors, visitors, and people who have been here long enough to remember things differently.
From the Quarter Note to the mercantile and land office, the town's institutions connect its residents—and give every new story somewhere to begin.

The town,
on paper.
Study our illustrated town plan as an archival artifact. It helps readers picture the streets and buildings, while the descriptions in the published novels remain the authority on established geography.
Some depicted positions are artistic interpretation. We won't add exact interactive map pins until the author’s private continuity map confirms their locations.

Beyond the last storefront
The roads go farther.
Outside town lie the Lovett homestead, ranching country, and Coldwater Pass. The wider territory will expand as its geography is confirmed through the books.
