This is NOT "Recluse and Ghost" by Dual Writer. MC is a guy (possibly a vet) who buys a farm someplace in Appalachia or the Ozarks. There is one or more incidents of rednecks chasing some girl, possibly off a cliff. I think there is a trained dog and maybe some ex-military friends.
Longish story I believe.
Just started reading it. I have definitely read this before and it feels like the story I was looking for.
Thanks.
Ever try Retiring to the Smokies by Howard Faxon? Has some similar points.
Good Hunting, limab
I've read a bunch of Faxon. This one by J Ryter isn't the one, even though it is a good one, but I'll start on The Faxon list after I finish this.
