Tell Sackett was packing thirty pounds of gold and no worries - until he got to the ferry at the Colorado. Trouble found him there. It looked like a black-eyed woman, pretty as a young filly, and a hundred times more set to buck any man. It looked like a gang of hardcases, with other folks' gold. And trouble looked like the other side of the rive - the hottest, driest, most brutal desert on the continent.

I try to maintain page numbers for audiobooks even though obviously there aren't any. I do this to keep track of pages read and I try to use the Kindle version page numbers for this.
Synopses marked with an asterisk (*) were generated by an AI. There aren't a lot since this is an iffy way to do it - AI seems to make stuff up.
When specific publication dates are unknown (ie prefixed with a "Cir"), I try to get the publication date that is closest to the specific printing that I can.
When listing chapters, I only list chapters relevant to the story. I will usually leave off Author Notes, Indices, Acknowledgements, etc unless they are relevant to the story or the book is non-fiction.
Page numbers on this site are for the end of the main story. I normally do not include appendices, extra material, and other miscellaneous stuff at the end of the book in the page count.
