All Is Not As It Seems

“People only see what they are prepared to see.”

~Ralph Waldo Emerson

Step through the portal to where All is not as it seems.

Ami Hicken King writes mixed genre historical fiction set in the Arizona Territory of the late 1870s where there’s a fine line between good and bad, and if you look hard enough, there’s something redeemable in everyone. The books are a blend of Western adventure, justice, mystery, loyalty, and unforgettable characters who despite their circumstances can be humorous and relatable.

Lawlessness & the Law is a four book series set in the Arizona Territory following the oddly and deeply intertwined lives of a Civil War vet and his gang; two young boys “kidnapped” by the gang; a by-the book-sheriff; a Federal Marshal; and Mack Pennington, a corrupt business magnate from the “Eastern States.”

Each book can be read as a stand-alone but the stories are interconnected by each character’s relationship to Pennington.

Currently available:

The Reluctant Bandit: Lawlessness & the Law, Book 1

The Lawman: Lawlessness & the Law, Book 2

Books are available at all major retailers.

You can also order through your favorite indie bookstore using the ISBN numbers (located on Books page–click on book cover for more info).

They can also be ordered directly from the printer (eliminating the middle man, directing more of each sale back to me).

Here is where history, reflections, and shenanigans visit and mingle. In this tiny domain of the universe, I spend time thinking and writing about a range of sundry things, events, or thoughts that I find curious, humorous, or thought-provoking.

My blogs include historical tidbits, character profiles, and reflections related to novel writing.
