Journey to Salvation

Once again, we are transported back to the environs of Bearpaw by the undisputed master of the western genre!

A wonderful story about honesty and longing, and having the courage to make the connection of two kindred souls!! 

Another amazing tale from GA's master of the western romance stories.  Moss and Lincoln (Link) are two teenage cowboys riding together because their destinations are fairly close to one another.  During the ride, they share stories about their lives, and it becomes clear that Moss has had it far worst than Link.  Their talks and confessions during their journey, along with unspoken tension, makes them rethink what they want out of life, but is it enough to make them change their plans?   You'll have to read this wonderful tale to find out, and I'm sure you'll be happy you made that decision after reading this short story.    

2 men who finally admitted to each other they wanted each other and make a life with one another. This western tale is one that should be read by all! It is that awesome!

Headstall - the king of the old west. Reading this story makes me want to revisit Larkspur. Once again the author manages to transport the reader to a different time, a different world, with the exact same feelings and hardships we sometimes face today. Two men who share the same feelings finally manage to talk. In the end, is there anything better than open communication? Certainly not if the outcome is either a story like this, or a development like in this story. Thank you Headstall, your stories are always appreciated a lot. 

Gary has done it again—woven a tale so rich with feeling, so alive with truth, it doesn’t just tell a story, it invites you to live inside it. His gift lies not only in the way he crafts characters, but in how he makes each moment pulse with longing, hope, and redemption. Every sentence feels like a heartbeat, every chapter a step toward something sacred. You don’t just read his work—you surrender to it.

Journey to Salvation is more than a title—it’s a promise. A promise of transformation, of grace earned through struggle, of beauty found in broken places. The emotional honesty here is staggering. Gary doesn’t shy away from pain, but he never lets it eclipse the light. He writes with a kind of magic that makes you ache for the next word, and when it ends, you’re left changed.

If you’re looking for a story that moves you, that reminds you why we read in the first place—this is it. Read it. You’re going to love it.

Headstall is undoubtably the "Western Master", but all of his tales are 5-Star, Homerun, Slam Dunk, Golden Buzzer hits!! "Journey To Salvation" is a beautifully done journey to love and understanding!! 

Short, sweet and to the point.... used to like dates like that (`cept for the short part) every now and then. Yep, WOOF.

Headstall is.. a straight shooter, a guys guy. Not ashamed but possibly bashful are his characters. He can paint a picture in your mind of a hot lawman that always starts with the hat on his head. I was gone from here for almost a year, it was a joy to see this writers name pop into my email!

Think the Westerns started with "Sidewinder" him sharing his love for open lands, horses and good men, the order varies as the days do. He gets into the dialect of the characters which makes the read especially fun.

Now he does other genres too! First I heard of him was with "Cards on the Table" a great read for a rainy week. Like a tie-dyed Dead-Head I've read it thrice now!

Geeze I'm ramblin' tonight... BOC's Secret Treaties is shaking my home!

Leather & packed jeans, can imagine the musk now 

Hey Gary, you can file this a a review for you if you'd like to.

Journey to Salvation, indeed! The title makes much more sense after reading. I loved, loved, LOVED this one. 

This is simply a beautiful western tale.
