In the swirling, ghostly vortex of Colorado’s Black Forest plateau, three families join forces in a race to protect unlawfully committed mental patients from having their memories erased…forever.
When Jessie McKenzie and her twin brother Alex Austin became co-owners of Mad River Ranch along with their spouses, Duncan and Molly, they envisioned a family compound with enough space for active children and expanding businesses. What they could not foresee were unexplained snatches of whispered conversations, the sounds of faraway laughter, a humidor that can’t seem to stay in one place, and the unaccountable smell of night-blooming jasmine mingled with cigar smoke. Thus begins the remarkable adventure of Mad River Nuthouse. A dangerous plot is uncovered to kidnap and confine patients in a nearby mental institution, and the Mad River Ranch family rushes to the rescue—joined by a group of veteran cowboys, the members of the Black Forest Wind Riders all-girl biker gang, expert hackers in the computer field, followers of Sun Tzu’s The Art of War, an oversized llama with growth-hormone issues, and a vegan grizzly bear. With a force this strong, the enemies of the Mad River Ranch Gang must surely be outnumbered—but the bad guys have an arsenal of antipsychotic drugs that actually cause psychosis, a motley crew of sociopathic mercenaries, and a corrupt judge at their disposal…and it’s all up to the Mad River Ranch Gang to save the day.

From the beginning, and throughout the process of publishing my first book, I felt that I was in the hands of a pro. Dana always took the time to answer my questions in detail and swiftly, and if she didn't have 100% confidence, she researched the question and got back to me. I was very pleased with her and I am also thankful that I was paired with her as an Author Rep.

The one-on-one with Lisa was great. Especially the phone call picking out styles, font, cover template etc. She even got a vote on the color. I so wanted to have my daughter's painting as the art work on the cover and she gave me a way to do that. Her guidance helped turn my dream into a reality and sometimes it is still hard to believe until I look at my book. Thank you.

Their process is simple and seamless with everything happening in a timely manner, giving authors complete control over how their book will appear inside and out. And the people there are fantastic. They’re friendly, knowledgeable, courteous, patient and quick to reply to emails. What more can an author ask?
Needless to say, I’ve found a home here at Outskirts Press.
