My wife challenged me to write a story about us and another couple. Gee, it takes alot to set up a barely believable scenario for a straight couple. It involved the obligatory pool swim and strip poker game, but getting there...that's the key.
A The Walker Colt Story (1) The Walker Colt was a beautiful weapon. It has a history that has fused itself into the very fabric of the pistol. Bob is asked to restore the pistol, and Billy Pruitt was the first man to own it. This is their tale.
A story in the Stories from the Hearth Universe
Imagine, you are 87 years old and it is literally your last night on Earth - non-negotiable. You have one opportunity to resolve one issue before you die. All of your family and all of your friends are dead. There is only one other person you care about and she is 60 years younger than you and has no idea that you love her. Oh, did I mention the Norse Goddess of Death is involved?
There are things, old and dark in nature, which have power over humans, things that may be hidden for centuries, only to come out into the light of day again and be used to feed the appetites of evil men. But what if one of those things came into the possession of someone who wasn't evil? Say a teacher and one of her students obtained it. Could it be used for good? Or would its history of darkness make them do something taboo, something forbidden?
Lincoln Steele, ex-Army Ranger turned private eye, does what he does best - avenge his friend's death and search for his missing daughter. Parts of this story may be difficult to read (hence the caution tag), but they're necessary to warrant his vigilante-type justice. (Please read the warning on the story's index page.) Steele is a cross between Jack Reacher and Dirty Harry. This is Book 3 in the Lincoln Steele novels: Steele Justice (Bookapy only), High School Massacre, Death of a Hero.
