A Glendale author’s new novel is available now.

Logan Roberson, currently a college student, having grown up in the country has met many people who have inspired the characters found in “Long Gun.” His grandfather’s love of westerns became his love as well, and “Long Gun” provided an opportunity for them to grow even closer.

In “Long Gun” a Civil War veteran filled with justice and rage finds himself engulfed in a personal battle almost 20 years after the war’s end, according to a news release from the book’s publisher Dorrance Publishing Co., Inc.

Between shellshock, a guilty conscience and a sense of justice to kill the man who murdered his brother, “Long Gun” is being led down a dark path. He is conflicted, stuck in a time when justice was measured by raw emotions and longing to find peace.

“Long Gun” is a fun, gritty tale full of gunfights, horse chases and saloon brawls with an in-depth look into the life of a larger-than-life figure and the human behind the legends.

Being from a military family, Roberson intends to enlist in the National Guard upon graduating. He still plans on writing and making a name for himself as an author.

“Long Gun” is a 318-page hardbound with a retail price of $35 (eBook $30).
