The Bastards of Gallup

Alec Cizak did a remarkable job with his first western. I hope you get a chance to drop by The Western Online and leave a comment on The Bastards of Gallup.

My Latest

If you get a chance I think my latest Cash Laramie story titled "Kid Eddie" turned out pretty darn good. But you be the judge and let me know. Thanks.

A Legend Rides

I’m not sure how many western writings start on a ship off the African coast but “Kid Eddie” did. To pass the time in the confined space, I was watching on dvd the strange pairing of Californication and Wanted Dead or Alive. Nearly a year later and after several polishes, Marshal Cash Laramie finds himself escorting Eddie Morash, aka Kid Eddie, from a small jail in Vermillion back to Cheyenne to stand trial. But something is unsettling about Kid Eddie, something that, well, you'll have to read for yourself.

Cash Laramie returns in "Kid Eddie" at The Western Online September 12th.
