"I read Waltzing Cowboys with a great deal of pleasure. The writing is alive ... sense of place is excellent, and ... for all its dark side, it is, finally, a happy story about good people, unusual in this day and age. Unflinching, yet positive."

Lee Abbott, Pulitzer Prize nominee and author of All Things, All at Once
"Waltzing Cowboys is a splendid novel, in design and execution a fancy two-step the past does with the present. Ms. Honenberger is writer with a wealth of talent, all of which she wisely spends in the service of her characters, for hers is the notion that we servants of the 'liar's art' have the moral obligation to address the truths—slight and grand, welcome and not—that animate our crooked kind. Lordy, what sweet music this writing is to my ear."

Increasingly one sees new novels from smaller publishing operations. An example would be a novel due out on January first from Cedar Creek Publishing in Bremo Bluff, Virginia. Waltzing Cowboys ($15.95, softcover) by Sarah Collins Honenberger had a good debut with her first novel, White Lies, and returns with a deftly written story of an aging cowboy, Rhue Hogan, who wakes up with his leg in cast, having been bucked off a horse. Combined with the death of his best friend, Rhue decides to reconnect with his son, Ford, now age 40. At the same time, Ford, joined by a young woman he hardly knows, has gone to New England in search of his Puritan roots on his mother’s side of the family. These are two men looking for some sense of identity and closure. The story is that trip back to the past for both and it is a short, but fascinating novel.
