    About this ebook

    They said it was a tale told by a fool.
    But that’s not how young Jonah Cord figured it when he met up with Gabriel Brannigan.
    One of them had seen it all and the other was about to. And all it took was an apple pie, a bottle of whiskey and strong cigar for Jonah to hear about Gabriel’s legendary trials out West.
    Gabriel had learned early to cut up rough when Lomas Chain and his cronies took out his trapper pa. The resulting blood pact forced Gabriel to fight as a blue belly at the brutal battle of Cold Harbor before yet another clash with his nemesis. The sad aftermath earned him a lawman’s star and brought him both the girl he was to marry and a honeymoon with a pack of murderous renegades. And that was before he rode stagecoach, met a handsome gambling woman and entered the Indian Wars.
    But Gabriel’s long hard road did not end there, as Jonah was to find out.
    Far from it in fact, Jonah was to discover that some old guns just won’t settle by the fireside and ride peaceable into the sunset.

    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.
