Join Jed Snodgrass as he learns to be a lawman in 1878 Texas. He may be young in years, but he is old enough when it counts. The Texas Ranger recruiter never formally asked his age, so he never formally told it. He has a unique advantage over many other Rangers, he never went to school, so he can't read and write; therefore he doesn't have to fill out that damned paperwork!

This is a time-travel story set in the very old West. There are no six-shooters or rifles. Rather, it is the story of how a college student manages to survive and make his life better, as well as that of his friends. What would you do if you were plopped down in front of some very hostile Indians who were only interested in seeing what your insides looked like? Luckily, our hero was able to survive those first 15 or so minutes. Could you do as well? / (Reviews)

A story in the Immortals Universe
A terrific Canadian novelist, Lynsay Sands created the Immortal series. Not vampires, exactly. I love her books! Her scientific immortals require blood to fuel "nanos", medically engineered healing nanobots created in Atlantis ages past. Here, I've borrowed her "not vampire" theme, creating a short story of an encounter in the Victorian era.

My entry for the 2004 'Historical Challenge' on asstr.org. Leif the Lucky mounts an expedition to sail beyond the sunset. With him is Thorfinn Fairhair, an orphan fisher-boy. The Norsemen discover a fair new land and it's strange inhabitants, the Skraelings. For those interested in such things, this story is loosely based on 'Eric the Red's Saga.'

This was the worst Indian war ever fought, both in lives lost and property damage. Just keep your head down and your tomahawk handy!
