“Nothing like being drawn back into another time!  Old West Colorado comes alive in this novel.  Depicting the many different lives, of Lawmen, Thieves, and true working Cowboys out on the Range.  All done with the authenticity that makes you really understand what life might have been like back then.  Not the glorified romance of many tales of the West, but bringing alive the true hardships, of an untamed Country.  While letting us realize what tough, rugged individuals, they must have been, all in the name of survival.  A great read, that completely revived my Western Spirit!”   -- Fred Hargrove - Western Cowboy, Singer / Songwriter

Sipping Whiskey in a Shallow Graveis a fun and enthralling read!  Mark Mitten has managed to create both an authentic voice, filled with western flair, and a freshness. The characters are so alive that you expect them to walk through the door as you put the book down.  A great first effort for this wonderful new author!” -- Carol Heiden - Executive Director, Colorado Therapeutic Riding Center

"While reading Sipping Whiskey in a Shallow Grave, I found myself in the middle of the action both mentally and emotionally.  Mark does a great job developing the characters and the story so that readers are in the center of it all.  Anyone who has an interest in the western world should read this one!" ---  Dr. Clint Unruh, DVM, Colorado Equine Veterinary Services
