About The Dark Horse Waits in Boulder

Recently divorced Charli Erickson arrives in Boulder, Colorado during the 1970s—a wild time for that city—where she hopes to develop her “rock poet” talent and find the perfect mate. Instead, she links up with the imperfect Ched Lyons, a Boulder native who leads her in a multitude of adventures, including scaling a mountain and a 1,200-mile motorcycle ride to southeastern Utah. While she intermittently envisions a black stallion with blue eyes, who puzzles and enchants her, she also strives to make sense of its appearance.

Through Charli’s snarky humor recounting her tales, readers will enjoy this Rom-Com doubling as a woman’s adventure story and may relate to scenes from the wild, zany era that followed the serious, revolutionary 1960s.

    1. Thank you, Brad. I hope you like the book. I revisited Boulder in the ’90s and yearly from 2004 through 2010. Albeit a bit different that during the 1970s, it remains a marvelous city.

  1. This sounds like a truly fun way to tell a story. I got to experience the “free spirit” of Boulder the year I lived in Colorado. I am truly interested in this new book! Congratulations to Bowen. Thank you for sharing, Robbie!
