Frontier Fiction

Do you like reading great action novels from Larry McMurtry? Or, do you like the old classic westerns from Zane Grey? Do your reading interests include diaries of pioneer women and tales from early American explorers? Are you always waiting for the newest romance novels mixed with a little history? Are you a Gilbert Morris and Janet Oke fan? Did you love The Horse Whisperer? If any of these questions apply to your reading choices, then you are not alone! Frontier fiction is a huge, new reading category that covers a broad range of genres. It's more than just the old pulp western of outlaws and cowboys. Today's frontier fiction is considered to be stories about the west, early or contemporary, or historical novels about the American frontier. In short, it's a cross between literary novels and the old western! This summer try some of these exciting frontier fiction titles listed below!
