In 1876, 10-year-old Annie Hightower was standing beside her father when he was murdered on the main street of Hendly Pass. She swore revenge on the murderer, no matter how long it took. Seven years later, she was able to begin her quest, dressed as a man and using the alias of Jack Highsmith. Romance rears its head in chapter 4, but there is still plenty of daring-do. This story is told in the third person, so there is no dialect except in the actual dialog, thus, it should be easy to read.
A runaway boy and an orphan girl dream of one another. They feel a strange connection. Is it a dream, or is it real? A wrinkled, old woman with a heavenly voice gives the boy shelter. He grows to manhood and helps the old woman search for the heir to a magical crystal bracelet that holds the power over storms and rainbows along with many secrets. And, where there is power, there are those that covet it and will do anything to make it their own, which is exactly what an ancient evil plans to do.
Kitty Anderson is a remarkable young woman of 1905 Texas. She shoots an automatic pistol and has learned to drink BEER, though not much at one time. She drives a car and, oh, yes, is a Secret Service agent. She starts out on a big case, tracking down the Knights of the Golden Circle (really, look them up). She's also a Deputy US Marshal, but that's just her cover.
I stand on the temple steps in the sunlight, a harmitu of Inanna waiting for someone to purchase my first time with a man. Waiting to begin the sacred rite—mirroring the mating of sacred king and high priestess, of god and goddess—that will make me a woman.
Jeff Huston somehow gets flipped back to 1877 in southern New Mexico Territory. He finds that his training as a Marine sniper in Iraq does him a world of good as he lives his new life in the midst of the Indian Wars. His old hobby of Cowboy Shooting is just icing on the cake. The only dialect is in some of the dialogue. This story is in answer to requests for another time-travel Western.
