The first of its kind, a unique volume of twenty-one unpublished gems from one of the twentieth century’s most popular and prolific writers Using his father’s handwritten notes, journal entries, and correspondences, Beau L’Amour uncovers how and why many never-before-seen manuscripts were written—and speculates about the ways they might have ended. These selections celebrate L’Amour’s vision and virtuosity, including the first seven chapters of a powerful novel about the Trail of Tears, a chilling Western horror story, and a tale of the American Revolution featuring a character related to L’Amour’s well-known Sackett family. At the other end of the spectrum are classic adventures, such as The Golden Tapestry, set in 1960s Istanbul, as well as several uniquely different attempts at what would have been the most profoundly intimate of all of L’Amour’s novels, a saga of reincarnation that stretches from a time before time, to the period of Alexander the Great, and on to Warlord-Era China. Illustrated with rare photographs, this book reveals the L’Amour you have never known, his personal struggles as a writer, and the contest between mortality and a literary legacy too big for one life to contain. “Lost treasures indeed . . . a behind-the scenes look at the unpublished work and unrealized aspirations of an iconic writer of Westerns.”—Kirkus Reviews “A valuable addition to [L’Amour’s] literary legacy.”—Booklist Louis L’Amour’s Lost Treasures is a project created to release some of the author’s more unconventional manuscripts from the family archives. In Louis L’Amour’s Lost Treasures: Volumes 1, Beau L’Amour takes the reader on a guided tour through many of the finished and unfinished short stories, novels, and treatments that his father was never able to publish during his lifetime. L’Amour’s never-before-seen first novel, No Traveller Returns, faithfully completed for this program, is a voyage into danger and violence on the high seas. These exciting publications will be followed by Louis L’Amour’s Lost Treasures: Volume 2. Additionally, many beloved classics will be rereleased with an exclusive Lost Treasures postscript featuring previously unpublished material, including outlines, plot notes, and alternate drafts. These postscripts tell the story behind the stories that millions of readers have come to know and cherish.

Hello my fellow readers thank you for stopping by and taking the time out to read what I have to say. For a very long time I have been writing short stories and poems. I would just write then lock them away in an old trunk I had saved. As time went by and I came to know the Lord as my personal savior, the writings intensify. Writing became a great hobby for me, especially when am feeling discouraged. The Lord begins to reveal to me many revelations on seed, trees and nature itself. On days when am alone I would go by the beach and write with joy and excitement. Stories would come like rain as the Lord would give them. I would imagine myself in a great big library just reading books and telling stories. Most of my stories also talks about life, destiny and purpose. On the road to my destiny to fulfill purpose we have to be mindful of everything that we encounter. Each event tells a story, each pitfall and disappointment comes as an eye opener, but it takes for us to see them and analyzed them for what they are and why they are there. Buried Treasure was the name given to me because of the stories that I wrote and would put them away in an old trunk as I said earlier. A word of inspiration was given to me by a great man of God that told me to dig up those stories and put them in a book form and here it is to this day. Buried Treasure gives a brief yet interesting boost of life in every form. God speaks to us in His creation as well as trials and disappointments. Buried Treasure helps point out those areas in your life that you need to work out. Short stories, poems and even an encouraging word. As you read you would get a clear understanding of life and all that you went through and maybe still going through. I pray that Buried Treasure open up a new world of hope and encouragement to you, that you can share with others that need uplifting. Healing begins as you open up Buried Treasure book.

Tanya is no ordinary girl. She can see fairies. But not the fairies we imagine. Evil fairies who cast spells on her, rousing her from her sleep and propelling her out of bed. At wit's end with her daughter's inexplicable behavior, Tanya's mother sends her away to live with her grandmother at Elvesden Manor, a secluded countryside mansion on the outskirts of a peculiar Essex town. There is plenty to explore, as long as Tanya stays away from Hangman's Wood- a vast stretch of forest, full of catacombs and notorious for people losing their lives. Fifty years ago a girl vanished in the woods, a girl Tanya's grandmother will not speak of. As Tanya learns more about this girl, she finds herself dangerously close to vanishing into the fairy realm forever. Debut author Michelle Harrison weaves an intricate mystery into a beautiful and haunting fantasy that captures a rich world of fairy lore where only the color red can offer protection.
