Guess what? I had the pleasure of interviewing Jim Overstreet, a rancho author! Dive into a spiky rivalry that stretches beyond competition. Meet Warren Weston and Rusty Blackstone. The two boys couldn't be any different. Warren, the only son of wealthy ranch owners. Rusty, the son of a fiddle-footed cowboy and a mother juggling two jobs to make ends meet. Dive into rancho life and a competition that defines not only characters, but souls too.
Synopsis:
Rusty Blackstone and Warren Weston have spent their whole lives trying their best to spite each other. But they're about to find out what they're truly made of-in the biggest competition of their lifetimes.
The son of wealthy ranch owners, Warren Weston is an only child, torn between the demands of his father and the adulation of his mother. Rusty Blackstone's father is a fiddle-footed cowboy, and his mother holds two jobs to feed him and his sisters. Rusty works hard and barely realizes that they are poor.
The two boys become bitter rivals at their first encounter. They grow up on Montana ranches but see the world from completely different perspectives. When rodeo becomes their passion, they take their rivalry to the roots that have shaped them and the ground they've worked.
A novel spanning twenty years under the blue Montana sky, A Montana Rivalry is a love song to the rancher's grit, and to the determination that drives the fiercest loyalties.

CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist
It’s 1996 in rural North Carolina, and an oddball crew makes history when they pull off America’s third largest cash heist. But it’s all downhill from there. Join host Johnny Knoxville as he unspools a wild and woolly tale about a group of regular ‘ol folks who risked it all for a chance at a better life. CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist answers the question: what would you do with 17.3 million dollars? The answer includes diamond rings, mansions, velvet Elvis paintings, plus a run for the border, murder-for-hire-plots, and FBI busts.
