FRONTIER TOWN: Book One

When disabled veteran Steve Hawkins and his wife Alice win a million dollars from a scratch-off ticket, they make the kind of decision that causes their grown sons to question everything-they buy a run-down abandoned Old West amusement park hidden deep in the mountains. Welcome to Frontier Town. The weathered park is falling apart: - broken rides- collapsing buildings- strange cold spots- and a history nobody fully understandsBut as Steve and his family begin rebuilding the forgotten mountain attraction, they discover Frontier Town may not be as abandoned as it seems. Somewhere high above the park, a grouchy old ghost prospector named Hexster still guards a hidden gold vein buried deep within the mountain. And wandering endlessly through another plane of existence are Squire Perkins and his talking horse, Zippy-two hilariously bickering Civil War spirits who never quite realized they died taking a shortcut off a cliff. As visitors, musicians, drifters, and strangers begin arriving at Frontier Town, the old park slowly comes back to life. Lanterns glow again. Music fills the saloon. The train whistles through the fog. And the mountain itself begins to wake up. Funny, heartfelt, mysterious, and filled with unforgettable characters, Frontier Town is a cozy supernatural family adventure about second chances, found purpose, and the ghosts that stay with us-not to haunt us, but to remind us we're never truly alone. Sometimes the greatest treasure isn't hidden under the mountain. Sometimes it's the family that chooses to build something together.
