Happy Book Birthday, No Land For Heroes!
My first published novel is now available on amazon! No Land For Heroes - A Gaslamp and Western Fantasy began as a silly story for friends, then ended up winning a Wattpad Watty award, then sat for half the pandemic as I thought about how to rewrite it and make it better.
It's a book I wanted to get right, not only because it was my first, but because it was about something that was important to me Read more of this blog post »

“Even after all these years, Fred’s words could knock the air from her. Millie grit her teeth, refusing to let him see just how deeply that had cut. Ryan wasn’t like that, she wasn’t like Fred at all.
“No masters,” Fred said. “No kings. Remember?”
“You don’t get to say that,” Millie snapped.”

“Gilbert had cut his teeth working for international financiers in Newhaven, where he learned the trade of rubbing two coins together to produce a third. He could have chosen a life of comfort and security by staying the employee of one of the large firms, but why settle for comfort when he had a chance at luxury?
‘Settling’ only entered Gilbert’s vocabulary when it came to two things: lawsuits and land claims.”

“That won’t be a problem, will it, Sheriff Collins?” Isaiah asked. He grinned, his attempt at a beard made him look like he had mange. “You keep your attack dog over there with your furry friend, and I’ll be happy to pay you with a good time.” He reached down with his free hand and wiggled his belt buckle suggestively. Ryan made a face at the suggestion.
“You bring a babysitter with you?” Millie ‘the attack dog’, asked.”
