"Welcome, Tom Keilholtz, into the pantheon of great western writers. SOMEWHERE is an engaging, heartfelt, road trip circa 1874 with a cast of unforgettable characters, including JB, a great leading man taking us on this scenic adventure into the West. Like the outdoorsman author, JB owns the ground he walks on here, and authenticity resonates on every page."

From the moment I picked it up I could not put it down. Somewhere, by T.E. Keilholtz is a fantastic story that keeps you on the edge of your seat throughout the entire book. The story makes you feel like you are in the saddle riding next to the main character, JB O'Shea as he travels from his fathers farm in Lancaster Pennsylvania to his brother's ranch in the Wyoming Territory. This is a fantastic book! Easily one of the best western novels written in the past twenty years. I am praying the sequel to Somewhere comes out soon, very soon!

Somewhere takes you on a journey from Pennsylvania to the Wyoming Territory with JB O'Shea. The book's descriptions and attention to detail of the sights, smells, sounds and even taste, put the reader on the trail with him. It is a remarkable story about JB's search for family and a new life. A GREAT book!

Somewhere is one of the biggest surprises I have ever had. It his a true page turner that grabs you and will not let go. The story takes you on a trip that requires remarkable strength, courage and fortitude. The author, T.E. Keilholtz takes the reader on a trip that makes the reader feel the textures of life itself. The highs, the lows, the victories, the defeats, the joys and the sorrows, this book touches all of your emotions. I am hoping there is a sequel and if it comes out tomorrow it would not be soon enough for me.

"Somewhere" is one of the best historical western stories I've ever read and that is saying something because I read A LOT. Had this given to me by my sister who said it was a "must read" and she was absolutely right! The way the story is told is riveting and the journey the main character takes you on will make you laugh, cheer, and cry your eyes out. I literally could not put this book down. I cannot wait for Book 2 to be released so I can continue on this journey. T.E. Keilholtz is the real deal.

WOW, is the first word that I think of when trying to describe Somewhere. The story of JB O'Shea, a Civil War veteran heading west to find his brother and family, jumps out and grabs you and it won't let go. The book takes the reader on an emotional rollercoaster ride. A tremendous western novel! When is the next one coming out?
