Violent Stories

A little alternate history story. I’ve had the idea in my head for a while, after reading an old David Drake story, “Rescue Mission” – so the plot’s not entirely original, but I hope you enjoy the story, which is. And yep, sorry guys, no sex at all in this one. It’s much more dystopian military Sci-Fi.

A Sacramento Marshal Story

Bill (Snake) Hartwick is the usual war vet of 1866. He's out of a job and the only solution is to go West. These are his adventures in the army, as a wagon train scout, and as a bounty hunter. Bill is nobody to mess with, as only too many bad guys find out, especially after he takes a partner. He even has some dealings with George Custer, and we all know what happened to him. This story was written without dialect, except where I screwed up.

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.

Sir Daniel Pascov wanders the land as a travelling Knight, taking jobs as a mercenary. But he hides a dangerous secret in his past. Three years ago he was the Black Knight, the scourge of Appalania, the man who raped whole villages and fought whole armies. Now, for the first time, he is forced to come face to face with the results of the actions in his previous life and has to make a choice: does he deal the consequences or carry on running away from his memories. / (Reviews)

A Story in the Stanly Bromly-Gentleman Adventurer Universe
Stanly Bromly is back to dispense his special brand of justice to the pirates who operate off the coast of California in the 1850s. He's on a tear, so the bad guys had better watch out! This is the THIRD story in the series.

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.

"Shotgun Jack" Green was a self styled Independent Health Contractor, commonly known as a bodyguard or gunslinger. What set him apart from most such people was his preference for a sawed off shotgun as his personal armament. This is the story of some of his adventures as a bodyguard, a deputy federal marshal, a gambler, and a rancher. His life may not have been typical, but it sure was exciting! Join him as he visits The Cheyenne Social Club. / (Reviews)
