    About this ebook

    A ruined castle in the distance. Too small for a king or duke. Probably home to a baron or count. Before the Uprising.

    No nobles anymore. The emerald isle in the hands of clans, raiding each other’s cattle.

    The wizards, all gone. Their memory alive in men like Mitom. Riding the land on his piebald gelding. Deadly with the stick of holly at his side.

    “Wandslinger” – an imaginative short story of fantasy adventure that twists the American Wild West with the cattle raids of Irish and Scottish myth. Cú Chulainn meets Wild Bill Hickock, blended into one gruff hero! By Stefon Mears, author of Twice Against the Dragon, With a Broken Sword, and the Cavan Oltblood novels.

      The earth shook violently as the enormous metal monster closed in. It was 100m away, 50, 20 … then it was on me. As I watched its giant steel tentacle, with its whirling, screaming blade, stretch down towards me, I was conscious less of the fear of a

      Long-ago Rabbits And The Best Of Times

      Mar 11, 2020

      I was born in 1931. My first recollection has to be my mother’s roast rabbit; I can see it now in my mind’s eye, lying there in its bronze glory before being attacked by my siblings and me. At the back of the woodshed were the ferret hutches, which t

      Mitom reined in his piebald gelding and regarded the ruined castle in the distance. Too small for a king or a duke. Had to have belonged to a count or baron before the uprising. Three fallen towers, but from what he could see shading his eyes against the setting sun, the main hall looked mostly intact.

      And if he wasn’t mistaken, he could see people setting camp. Maybe a dozen or so.

      That meant food. Mutton maybe. Or beef.

      Just the thought of food was enough to set his stomach gurgling. Two roast rabbits in four days weren’t enough for a full-grown man. Especially not the skinny hares running around these green hills west of Lont.

      But could he trust these people?

      Could he go another day without food?

      Mitom checked the holly wand in the sheath on his belt. Wouldn’t do to ride up with it drawn, but he wanted it ready. Chances were good that none of them were wizards, but better safe than dead.

      No time to waste then. Folks were always a little more eager to meet strangers while the sun was shining. He
