Kate’s 2¢: “Carry The Wind: Titus Bass, Book 4” by Terry C. Johnston

“Carry The Wind: Titus Bass, Book 4” by Terry C. Johnston

Kate’s 2¢: There is a plethora of in-depth biographies of authors and reviews of their books, that state the title, author, published date, and genre; as well as,     describing what the book is about, setting, and character(s), so, Kate’s 2¢ merely shares my thoughts about what I read.  I’m just saying…

This was a long story, but I kept with it to the end. I like the longer stories, as you can get to know the characters before the end of the book. I wasn’t real fond of the “potty mouth” language, but, then, I wasn’t ever a mountain man either.

Joe Wilson did an excellent job of reading this long story for NLS. Thank you.

From the web:

Terry C. Johnston (1 January 1947 – 25 March 2001)   (1947-2001) was an American author of western novels. Before he started as an author, Terry travelled around, working various jobs and all the while learning more about the Old West. He is best known for his Titus Bass series, set during the Rocky Mountain Fur Trade, as well as his Plainsmen series.

Johnston was born January 1, 1947 in Arkansas City, KS. Nineteen publishers rejected Johnston’s first novel, Carry the Wind, before it was printed in 1982. However, this first novel was to gain the honor of receiving the Western Writers of America Medicine Pipe Bearer’s Award for best first fiction.
