"A starkly beautiful portrait of the modern West. Spragg is an author with a keen eye for both the poetic splendors and ugly realities of this much-romanticized country." -Joe Darda,The Globe and Mail(Canada) "Teeming with loss, redemption and personal crisis [with] as compelling a sense of time and place as any in contemporary fiction." -Christian Toto, The Denver Post "About once in a decade a writer captures the unruly West, wrangles it onto the page somehow and holds it down with just the right words…[Mark Spragg] is infused with it." -Susan Salter Reynolds,Los Angeles Times "A wonder to experience….The bone fire in question can be seens as a metaphor for the grief that burns in one's soul. That fire has the power to cause great pain but also, one is led to hope here, to heal." -Tyrone Beason,The Seattle Times "A serious pleasure….Spragg's Wyoming is quiet and beautiful and very real. He is a master at balancing minimalism with eloquent depth to paint a striking portrait of place." -Susan Wickstrom,The Oregonian "Essential reading for anyone interested in the literature of the West." -Bill Ott,Booklist(starred review) "A tribute to the human state and an outstanding work…Not one word is out of place, and each and every character is well drawn and intensely believable….This 'bone fire' is in fact the burning we call life, symbolizing our shared pain as human beings." -Henry Bankhead,Library Journal(starred review) "Spragg's writing is so lyrical yet so quiet. It's perfect for the characters that populate his stories, men and women who just like to get things do≠people for whom a life of hard work and integrity is more than enough, it's what they strive for. These are people I know: they're like my father and his friends in Eastern Utah. Spragg's portrayals of the men and women of small town rural America feel true to me. He doesn't write romanticized drivel about times that never were, nor does he write one-dimensional portraits of lives that we in cities see all too often as narrow and restricted. The complicated decisions and paths that Crane, Griff, McEban, and young Kenneth must make and take in Bone Fire lead the reader through a literary tapestry that is both real and beautiful." -Catherine Weller, Sam Wellers Bookstore (Salt Lake City, UT) "When I received Mark Spragg's new book,Bone Fire, I dropped everything. It was so refreshing and comforting to be back with these (mostly) lovable characters from his novelAn Unfinished Life! Mark has such an amazing sense of place, and his small-town Wyoming ranch is so vivid, and right there. The fresh mountain air, horse sweat, smoldering fires; every sight, smell and sound is so real. Not to mention the close-knit sense of community, the troubled and desperate characters whose lives intersect in this compelling story of love, redemption and the importance of treasuring every moment of life. This is definitely a novel that stays with you." -Linda Grana, Lafayette Book Store (Lafayette, CA) "To have a new Mark Spragg novel in one's hands is definitely one of life's greatest pleasures. He knocks your socks off with his writing-lyrical, wonderfully descriptive-and his characters, set in modern-day Wyoming, come alive on the pages. InBone Fire, we have the return of characters from Spragg'sAn Unfinished Li, "[ Bone Fire ] once again lands us on the prairie-grass-covered ranchlands of Ishawooa, Wyoming, where locals know the roaming livestock, winding creeks and meandering constellations better than they know each other. . . . A wonder to experience." - The Seattle Times "A tale teeming with loss, redemption and personal crisis. . . . Spragg's novel throbs with honest accounts of a Mountain West town . . . caught between past and present. . . . Bone Fire establishes as compelling a sense of time and place as any in contemporary fiction." - The Denver Post "Spragg conjures the West with style and gravity. He can burrow into the tightest chambers of the heart, and his belief in family is palpable and moving." - The Boston Globe "Beautiful. . . . Reading Bone Fire is probably a lot like spending some time with the folks in Wyoming: A serious pleasure." - The Oregonian "[Spragg] captures the unruly West, wrangles it onto the page somehow and holds it down with just the words." - Los Angeles Times " Bone Fire is that rare thing, a novel with all the literary virtues of skill and style and pitch that you hope for but also a book that makes you turn pages far into the night to find out what happens." -Kent Haruf "[A] big-sky slice of life. . . . As slow and shambling as a run-down pickup, but that allows the fine-tuned characters wide-open space to breathe and their grief to become palpable." - Entertainment Weekly "The strength of Bone Fire rests in Spragg's ability to render lives in the contemporary American West with a keen eye for physical and emotional detail. Spragg understands how the landscape shapes the lives of the characters, as well as the way the modern world encroaches on the landscape. This is still the West of rodeos and pickup trucks, but it's also the West of Google, Netflix, and GPS navigation." - Kansas City Star "It's the author's endearingly biting characters, not the slowly unpacking whodunit, that drives [ Bone Fire ]. You root for these people no matter how much dysfunction they leave in their wake, mostly because they're always saying things you'd never have the guts to utter out loud." - Outside "[A] poignant modern Western. . . . Each member of [Spragg's] cast is vibrant on the page, not because they resemble people one might know, but because they become intensely familiar and stay that way long after the book has been shelved." - The Anniston Star "Spragg is so spot on when it comes to describing small town life in the American West, his prose seems to leap off the printed page. . . . Spragg is a gifted writer." - The Tucson Citizen "A starkly beautiful portrait of the modern West. Spragg is an author with a keen eye for both the poetic splendors and ugly realities of this much-romanticized country." - The Globe and Mail (Canada) "As Spragg's story slowly unfolds and gradually picks up speed, his Wyoming is as tangible as his characters' yearning for connection." -Curled Up With A Good Book "Spragg writes . . . with the smoothness of a river stone as he weaves a tale of loss and compassion, loyalty and family, and ultimately, love. . . . Sure to bring a lump to the throat." - Las Vegas Review-Journal "Mark Spragg writes about ordinary people extraordinarily well. . . . Emotionally charged and well-written, Bone Fire is truly an exceptional story, with a main character everyone can relate to." - Sacramento News & Review, “A starkly beautiful portrait of the modern West. Spragg is an author with a keen eye for both the poetic splendors and ugly realities of this much-romanticized country.� -Joe Darda, The Globe and Mail (Canada) “Teeming with loss, redemption and personal crisis [with] as compelling a sense of time and place as any in contemporary fiction.� -Christian Toto, The Denver Post “About once in a decade a writer captures the unruly West, wrangles it onto the page somehow and holds it down with just the right words&[Mark Spragg] is infused with it.� -Susan Salter Reynolds, Los Angeles Times “A wonder to experience&.The bone fire in question can be seens as a metaphor for the grief that burns in one's soul.
