Listeners are thrilled with this exciting and erotic Old and New West rendering! In the spirit of famed authors James A. Michener and Louis Lamour, Burns presents an epic saga that takes the listener from 1846 Santa Fé to the 21st century, through authentic stories of Organized Crime, Vigilante Justice, Romance, and Wild, Wicked Sex! Half Western thriller and half modern-day crime novel, Cookesville U.S.A. is an epic romance novel that spans generations.

Based on the history and stories of Bakersfield California, Cookesville is a fictional western town whose story, location and peoples have been ripped from the pages of history. Listeners learn the intense backstory of those who initially settled the wild west town of Cookesville in the 1850’s and follow the founders of Cookesville—Frank Cooke, his Native American wife Lily, and their entourage of Native Americans, Mestizos and Chinese—and their offspring, into the 21st century. The story continues in the 1940s with Frank and Lily’s great-grandson, Sam Cooke, who runs a successful law office. His private investigator, Lyndon “Lynnie” Wethers, is integral and essential to the Cookesville story.

From his backroom dealings, under-the-table pay-offs, and ties to Bugsy Siegel and the Las Vegas mob, Lynnie’s story and erotic sex life are what really heat up the modern Cookesville story. You won't want to miss a single epoch or individual storyline.In graphic detail, Cookesville shows how the West was really won, by weaving together local and national history and headlines. The explicit red-hot relations add to the excitement, erotica, and bloody crime stories, solidly based upon real characters. Remember, all names have been changed to protect the innocent and the guilty.
