Western fans will strike gold with Springfield author, Steven Law Penguin-Berkely to release his latest western treasure, Yuma Gold

After serving eight long years, Ben Ruby walked out the Yuma prison with a rusty tin box containing $100 and several old miscellaneous trinkets tucked under his arm. Although he had been wrongly convicted of a crime, Ruby knew that no one would be interested in the truth. And now at 42, he realized Yuma prison had cost him far more than simply eight years—it might as well have been a life sentence, because although he was physically free, he knew he would spend the rest of his life paying for it—one way or the other. That is unless, he can use the trinkets in his box and an old Indian legend to help him find a gold treasure buried deep beneath the desert in a sunken Spanish galleon. But with an old enemy, hot on his trail and the sands of time running out… will the legend of the gold make a fool out of him and cost him his life?
The old Indian legend of buried Spanish ships in the Imperial Valley of Southern California may be pure myth, however, it provides the ideal setting for an epic western adventure when intertwined with actual scientific evidence that the Gulf of California did, indeed, once exist farther north, and supports geological theories of continental drift. Yuma Gold is based upon an actual historical event in 1904-1905 when a raging Colorado River breached a dam and flooded the hottest desert in the United States. Thus, creating the Salton Sea; the largest lake in California.
Steven Law’s combination of history, adventure, danger, buried treasure, and authentic western characters is a result of sheer brilliance and proves this author is a masterful storyteller. Yuma Gold is a captivating and inspiring tale and offers readers more than the traditional “shoot ‘em up” style western paperback. It encompasses the rich ethnic diversity of the individuals who settled the West, their strength, tenacity, and above all, the importance of hope and faith. Yuma Gold is a true western treasure for readers of all ages.
