    The Cunning Man giveaway

    I was going through a stack of books and found a second copy of The Cunning Man by Dave Butler and Aaron Ritchey. It’s a good book and I’ll pass it on. If you like Manly Wade Wellman’s John the Balladeer you’ll like Hyram Woolley.

    “It’s the depths of the Depression, and a mining town in Utah is shut down. Something has awakened underground, and now a monster roams the tunnels. While contentious owners squabble, poor worker families go hungry. Along comes Hiram Woolley. Hiram is a man with mystical abilities derived from the commonsense application of Scots-Irish folk wisdom and German braucher magic. He possesses an arcane Bloodstone that allows him to see a lie the moment it is spoken.

    Behind the played-out farms and failed businesses are demons, curses, sorcerers, and unatoned wrongs. Bags of groceries and carpentry won’t be enough this time.The job will take a man who has known sorrow. A man who has known war. A man of wisdom. A man of magic.”

    I’ll do a random drawing next Monday 9/28. If you’re interested a simple I’m in is good.

    The book takes place in Utah, and sounds like something Larry Correia would write. I'm in.

    I just wanted to say that I didn't opt "in" to this giveaway because I no longer read physical books. But your description was very interesting, so I downloaded a Kindle sample and really liked the beginning. Enough that I bought and downloaded the book and recommended the book to my Mom as well. I'm still working on a big book I had already started, but the Cunning Man is the next one I'm reading. Mom has already read it because she goes through about 5 books a month. So anyways, thank you for bringing this book to our attention, as well as the generous giveaway!

    Thank you! I’m glad you and your Mom bought it. I follow Dave on social media pretty closely and I’ve read most of his series. I’m lucky I’ve won a couple of his raffles when he gives swag away.
