Note from Mark -- The sequel to The Texas Gun Club is nearly complete and will soon head to the publisher.  As soon as I get a smooth copy, I will post Chapter 1 of Victory Road (Sam and Perk at the battle of San Pietro) here!

The Texas Gun Club is the award-nominated story of two men's journey from South Texas to wartime Italy. 

Sam, a rancher, wants nothing more than to survive and get home to his wife.  Perkin, a student of history, finds the war a lark, a grand adventure--until the harrowing realities of WWII begin to set in....

The Texas Gun Club is a history-lover's easy escape into fiction -- an accurate portrayal of the saga of the famed 36th (Texas) Division in WWII as seen from the eyes of Sam and Perkin.
 



“THE TEXAS GUN CLUB is an excellent WWII war novel…Realistic, well-plotted, many actual events…Describes the successes and failures of command and battle—friendly fire, poor communications, death, destruction, courage, and valor... It has found a place on my bookshelf.”  Review by Lee Boyland, Military Writers Society of America (January 2010)   Mark Bowlin was nominated for best writer on Army history/literature by the Military Writers Society of America (Jul 2010).

The Texas Gun Club is published by the P3 Press of Dallas. Artwork by Keith Rocco for the National Guard Heritage Series.
