The series
Books built
around place.
The Lovett Westerns follow Sheriff Jesse Lovett and the people of Redstone Crossing, a fictional town in Arizona Territory. The series draws its drama from family, law, land, water, and the histories people carry.
Before turning to fiction, J. D. Lunsford worked in law enforcement, including as a detective and hostage negotiator. He later worked in education. Those experiences inform his interest in how people make decisions under pressure, how communities respond to conflict, and the uneasy boundary between lawful authority and personal conscience.
His Lovett Westerns begin with Coldwater Pass and continue with The Broken Line. Their setting, Redstone Crossing, is a fictional town in Arizona Territory, where old loyalties and competing claims can be as dangerous as any gun.
