Book 1: Ozark Gold

A drowned town. A 150-year-old conspiracy. When an unlikely trio decode a trail of riddles starting with the 1874 Gads Hill train robbery, they trigger a high-stakes race beneath the Lake of the Ozarks against a ruthless land baron. But deep within flooded ruins and sealed caverns, they soon realize that history, not gold, is the ultimate treasure.

Editorial Direction

River Hound Press brings the past to life through stories built on rigorous research, compelling characters, and the spirit of adventure. We believe the best historical fiction balances the authenticity of the historical record with the momentum of a story you can't put down. We champion original historical adventure, frontier lore, and smart young-adult mysteries rooted in regional history, distinctive settings, and the enduring appeal of the unknown.

Submissions: Unsolicited manuscripts are currently closed. We work directly on internal properties and contracted commissions.
