KING OF PRUSSIA, Pa. - s4story -- Only three pages of "Blood On The Range: Caught In The Crossfire" were read by DS Productions staff before it was decided to sign Smith to an exclusive contract. His first book for the company will be released later this year with several more on the way.

Blood on the Range is the story of Nathan Todd, a tough, hard-working cowpuncher whose loyalty, quick temper and sense of fair play often get him into situations that test his mettle and his ability to survive. He's always been content on his own, but that all changes when he meets Bridget Connell. Nate is fast with a gun but tongue-tied when it comes to women.
