    About this ebook

    Ben Garvey is a haunted man.
    Beckett is always there, standing at Ben’s shoulder, like a shadow on the wall.
    Ben Garvey took on the job at the swing station to get away from things like this and leave off the tough life of a lawman by serving one of the few remaining stagecoach lines left running. With a skeleton crew, each of them damaged survivors, Ben thought himself safe in the obscurity of this isolated Texas outpost.
    They get visitors of course, oddballs and freaks just passing through but only rarely something special. It arrives in the shapely form of Lillian Cord.
    That’s when things start happening in the station’s remote life and before long Ben and his team are up against a heck of a lot of deadly competition and Ben needs every resource he can muster from a past life he would rather forget.
    And still Beckett hovers, like a ghost at the feast.... And maybe that’s just what he is.

    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.

      Stop Hating on Adjectives!

      Jun 12, 2019

      A common admonition in creative writing pedagogy is, “Cut as many adjectives as possible.” I propose that this rule springs from mere prejudice. The post Stop Hating on Adjectives! appeared first on The Millions.
