Review excerpts for Trail of the Burned Man "...this book, like many of the Black Horse Westerns, is a rich, detailed, and engrossing story....McNulty is a gifted writer and crafts a tale that is more than a simple good-posse-chases-bad-one plot...Something tells me that McNulty knows his wilderness, too, because the beauty of the landscape is in stark contrast to the horrors that await Rafe and his posse along the way—horrors that include torture and watching the Sioux take revenge in an unforgettable, horrific scene that will not soon be forgotten..."        —Laurie Powers, Laurie's Wild West "Thomas McNulty has created a superbly insane bad guy in his character Dutch. Just wondering what he'll do next, particularly when the posse are his prisoners, is more than enough to keep a reader enthralled...McNulty's writing style is easy to read, smooth flowing, propelling the storyline on in an ever increasing pace....Trail of a Burned Man is a fast moving tale that should definitely appeal to those who enjoy a savage storyline..."        —Steve Myall, Western Fiction Review "The old American West is being revived by Thomas McNulty one story at a time! McNulty takes us back to the late 1870s with this western tale filled with outlaws, shootouts, brawls, and even a little bit of romance. I think you will fall in love with the "good cowboys" and hate the outlaws and enjoy a tremendously well written book in the process…Thomas McNulty takes us on an adventure that is filled with suspense and twists and turns and very believable characters. I found myself lost in another time in the old west and didn't want the story to end. If you love a good western, you will love Trail Of The Burned Man.”        —Bev Owens, Radio Host EWNN (Extreme Writing Now Network)

Thomas McNulty's Anthropoets is a tour-de-force collection that explores the range of American poetry – personal, meditative, lyrical, political, and ultimately unforgettable. Anthropoets reveals a writer who embraced the compulsion to write and never let it go. "I decided to include a variety of work spanning thirty years of scribbling in notebooks." McNulty says in his provocative introduction, and it's soon apparent this is a writer with a great deal to say. A man watching the sunset over the Illinois prairie suddenly realizes he is looking into the past. A hunter encounters a madman who alters his perspective. A mother listening to the sounds of a baseball game grieves for a son who has lost his way. A farm girl on her sixteenth birthday yearns for a life in Hollywood. A walk through the Art Institute of Chicago becomes a meditation on the human condition before transforming into a litany on the creative impulse itself. Each of these selections reveals a remarkable aspect of the human experience. These powerful poems are textured with remarkable clarity, drawn from the writer's psyche, forged onto the page with an almost painful honesty, but honed with a craftsman's eye.
