SPUR AWARD-WINNING AUTHOR - ROD MILLEROn a lonely road in a remote desert stands a roadhouse. Formerly a home station on a now abandoned stagecoach route, it is the only source of water and supplies for miles. Accommodations are crude and coarse, the hospitality rough and raw, the proprietor boorish and vulgar. Travelers are few and far between, and almost all must stop for water-which comes at a price. A mounted mail carrier who visits the roadhouse with some regularity suspects there is more to the place than meets the eye, and he comes to believe that for some travelers the roadhouse is the end of the road...All My Sins Remembered is destined to join the ranks of the frontier classic. Here is suspense as taut as freshly strung barbed wire, rock-solid period detail, and an emotional roller-coaster ride set against a West that is both historically accurate and stunningly immediate. Rod Miller does what only a handful of writers have ever done: make you care about (and even perhaps root for) an astonishingly evil man. -Loren D. Estleman Western Writers Hall of Fame authorOne of the more powerfully haunting novels to come along in years, Miller's All My Sins Remembered stands shoulder to shoulder with such literary classics as Cormac McCarthy's Blood Meridian and Charles Frazier's Cold Mountain. A brutal, beautifully rendered masterpiece, guaranteed to stay with you long after the last page is turned. -Michael Zimmer Winner of the Spur Award and Western Heritage Wrangler AwardIt is not by chance that Rod Miller has taken his title, All My Sins Remembered, from Shakespeare's Hamlet for this novel. Comparable to the Bard, his book is about madness-with Biblical dimensions. -True West magazine

Fred Olds Western Poetry Award, 2015, Awarded by the Westerners InternationalRod's poetry is infused with a genuineness that elevates his work above the medium's predictable yarns and gives the reader a front-row seat at a captivating reality-based dramedy. You observe from a respectful distance the poignant moment shared by a young girl and her horse. You take a seat at the kitchen table in a ranch house in which the "romance of cowboy life" is balanced against the realities of mortgages, droughts and volatile markets. And you're let in on the West's unique brand of humor, shaped by hard luck, eccentricity, and the unpredictability of lives shaped by the land, weather and livestock. Rod is a truthteller.And truth can, on occasion, be dangerous.
