Western Stories

This is a collection of twenty stories, some serious, some light-hearted, set in the Wild West. They are much shorter than my 'Sunset Stories', already posted and are stand-alone items.

This is a story suggested by a real incident in Texas in the 1860s. A doctor is murdered by a gang of Union Army veterans, and his daughter is out for revenge on the damyankees. Her specialty is a LeMat combination 9-shot pistol and 18-gauge shotgun (a real Confederate cavalry weapon). Join her as she combines being a doctor and a superhero. / (Reviews)

HANGED! Elizabeth Bell's two mischievous teenage boys were going to be hanged at noonday tomorrow! The boys only hope lay in the Red Bell ranch cook's uncertain hands.

Montana rancher Jake Falcon is a widowed father to two rambunctious kids. While he knows his children need a mother, he is reluctant to admit that he needs a wife. Redheaded, hot-tempered Suzanne Sullivan literally storms into his life in the midst of a long summer drought threatening the rangeland. Before he knows it, Jake finds himself facing renegade rustlers, runaway action, and a rendezvous with romance.
