    About this ebook

    Shiloh Trayne is a stone cold killer.
    Born under a bad sign he proves it with a Zodiac scorpion tattooed on his fist.
    Quick with a Colt and striking with the same stinging speed, rightly, he is known as – The Widowmaker.
    They have a sweet deal going, he and his partner, Caleb. A man who saw action at Jackson, Mississippi in a Civil War battle that cost him half a life. Now he wants back a sight more than any army pension will allow.
    Working out of a one-horse Texas town north of the Rio Grande they sort out personal problems with their own particular brand of final solution.
    That is until Shiloh meets Molly. Then the cracks start to show.
    Two brothers are lured by the prospect of a pile of cash money but Shiloh’s last marked man interferes, aiming to put Shiloh six feet under. When other bodies take a hand, Shiloh is forced on a mission with three hardened gunmen to regain a fortune in gold.
    It doesn’t end there. Deceit and death follow Shiloh as he seeks to protect Molly and to achieve that; he has to do what he does best – to carve a .45 caliber killing path through the odds that are stacked against him.

    It’s not such a big step from pictures to writing.And that’s how it started out for me. I’ve illustrated more Western book covers than I care to mention and been doing it for a long time. No hardship, I hasten to add, I love the genre and have since a kid, although originally I made my name painting the cover art for other people, now at least, I manage to create covers for my own books.A long-term closet writer, only comparatively recently, with a family grown and the availability of self-publishing have I managed to be able to write and get my stories out there.As I did when illustrating, research counts a lot and has inspired many of my Westerns and Thrillers to have a basis in historical fact or at least weave their tale around the seeds of factual content.Having such a visual background, mostly it’s a matter of describing the pictures I see in my head and translating them to the written page. I guess that’s why one of my early four-star reviewers described the book like a ‘Western movie, fast paced and full of action.’I enjoy writing them; I hope folks enjoy reading the results.
