Ranges is a collection of four stories that span space and time, from the Old West to modern times, and it's all about the back of beyond. BA Tortuga, Julia Talbot, Dallas Coleman and Chris Owen all create small town boys with big time loves, men who know how to work the land, and work each other over.

Cabin fever, by BA Tortuga, is set in the late eighteen hundreds, and features Horace, a big mountain man who's more sophisticated than he seems, and Walker, a young man on the run from the law. In the snowy winter mountain season, Horace teaches Walker all he knows, but will Walker stay for the spring thaw? Set a few decades later, To Hell You Ride pits actor Clancy against miner Big Roy. Clancy thinks he's too good for an unattractive man like Roy, but he soon finds out that the heart wants what it needs, and won't be denied.

When the Bloom is on the Sage takes on the early nineteen hundreds, in the days when cowboys still rode horses, but the ranch owners drove cars. Buck and Bonner face the elements, the fear of being caught loving each other, and the very real danger of working on the range. Finally, modern day Shady Ridge is the scene for Chris Owen's Shady Ridge and the Neon Sky, where cops Hank and Charlie learn they play on the same team, and that the closest gay bar, the Neon Sky, is an awful long way away.
