Ray Launches Latest Western Bestseller With “The Red Ghost”
The following story appeared on the Dusty Saddle Publishing Network on June 4, 2026.
Charles Ray, one of the foremost and most respected writers in Western fiction today, delivers another action-packed winner!
The legendary Rusty Rhodes is back in the saddle with his latest hard-riding bounty hunter adventure. Packed with classic Western tension, clever tracking, and unexpected frontier danger, The Red Ghost proves once again that Charles Ray is at the absolute top of his game.
WHAT IS THIS ONE ABOUT?
Rusty tracks a fugitive to the northwest region of Arizona Territory and learns that he’s probably hiding out with relatives on one of the spreads in the vicinity of Fort Whipple, north of Prescott, the territorial capital. Once in the area, he discovers that finding someone among the widely separated ranches and farms won’t be as easy as he’d anticipated, and it might be complicated by a mysterious ‘red ghost’ that some people claim is running rampant in the area.
Not a believer in ghosts, Rusty ignores the stories until he hears strange sounds while scouting one of the farms and finds evidence of some large creature having crashed through the underbrush near where he’d tethered his horse. He now realizes that the red ghost, while not a ghost, is real and large enough to pose a danger. So, he puts his fugitive hunt on hold to solve the conundrum of the red ghost, and when he does, he and everyone else are surprised.
Even more surprised is the wanted man when Rusty once more sets his mind to the hunt.

View Bug Courage Award
I don’t get out as much as I used to, taking photos of the world around me – and I do mean the world, as I’ve circled the globe in the past half century, visiting every continent except Antarctica. It’s a great honor, therefore, to be awarded this Courage Award from View Bug for my photo of Victoria Falls in Zimbabwe.

Review of ‘The Zionists who Hate Jews’
With incidents of violence based on religion, ethnicity, and politics on the rise globally, Joss Sheldon’s book The Zionists who Hate Jews is a timely and useful book to read, albeit, somewhat controversial. His thesis, that the Zionist movement which was instrumental in the creation of the state of Israel, was actually established by people who, despite being Jewish themselves, hated Jews, and who formed close alliances with some of Europe’s most powerful and notorious antisemites, including Germany’s Nazis, will not go down will with many; it will, in fact, offend quite a few people.
This book, though, is well-documented, and it outs the perpetrators, including many American Christian zealots, who are among the most ardent supporters of Israel while, at the same time, being rabidly antisemitic.
Well written, and hard hitting, it will challenge every assumption you might hold about religious intolerance and the danger of merging religion with politics. It’s not a comfortable read, but, that is what makes it a must-read. It gets you out of your comfort zone and inspires critical thinking—a skill that is in short supply these days. This is a book that should definitely be on your reading list.
The author provided me with a review copy of this book. I give it five stars.
