Lee ain’t no goddamned lady. She has done gotten herself unbaptized, unmarried and unlawful. She is the outlaw known as Crazy Cat.

One cat is buried, another is put in a hatbox, then sent to the town marshal along with the head of his deputy.

Lee knows what needs to be done. She needs more men with guns, but where can she find them? And who can she trust amongst those already in her gang? A bloody battle ensues between corrupt lawmen and outlaws.

Embers at Dawn is the story of one woman’s struggle to find freedom in a world that would rather see her in a corset or behind bars – one being as bad as the other, according to her.

It’s a story of rats and sons of bitches, eccentric saviors and a ramshackle gang led by the outlaw known as Crazy Cat.

Embers at Dawn is Loen’s debut novel and the first book in the series The 9 Lives of the Outlaw known as Crazy Cat. It’s a gritty western told from the anti-heroine Lee’s point of view.

-Recommended for mature readers.-
