Misfortune Annie and the Locomotive Reaper - Softcover

Not your typical author, Dave Jackson started writing in his constant pursuit to become a renaissance man. Then he fell in love with the art form. Comedy remains one of his many passions and he writes and performs skits as well as stand-up. Also a songwriter and guitarist, Dave has composed over 300 musical titles. Settled now in Denver, Dave is passionate about living life to the fullest with those he loves, especially his young son.

Janet's focus on writing began in the 1990s while CFO for the coolest architectural firm in Boulder. Fifteen writing awards later she resigned from OZ to follow the yellow brick road, and ten months after that signed a contract with The Wild Rose Press for Soliloquy, a HOLT Medallion Award of Merit winner. Since then she's co-authored two WWII military histories about the 359th Fighter Group, and collaborated with Dave on a romantic suspense and the first two books in the Misfortune Annie series.

A highly original, fast-paced western. A FINALIST and highly recommended. ~ The Wishing Shelf Book Awards 
The hero is cool, the anti-hero is dangerous. Steampunk mixed in with fast-paced adventure. ~ The Wishing Shelf Book Awards judge, boy aged 16  
I had a grand time reading Misfortune Annie and the Locomotive Reaper. The plot is inspired, the characters are well defined and believable, and the action is fast-paced.  ~ Jack Magnus, Readers' Favorite

The details in the story makes the entire setting picture come into focus. The characters are well fleshed out, and realistic. The dialogue is spot on for the time period (just about 15 years after the American Civil War), and makes you feel like you are actually there with Annie. The book has a lot of action and kids will like reading about Annie beating up bad guys and going on adventures. ~ Erik of This Kid Reviews Books
