The New West is a two-book series by Gini Koch, both published in 2011. The duology, consisting of When Josie Comes Home and Deacon’s Ark, represents a departure from Koch’s better-known science fiction work, moving into Western-themed territory.
Koch is best known for her Katherine “Kitty” Katt alien diplomacy series, which she writes under her own name, and she publishes across multiple genres under various pen names. The New West books are a smaller part of her output but show her range as a writer willing to work outside the science fiction and urban fantasy genres where she made her name.
