Set in …moreCurrently (2024), I'm working on a new series: "Dark Sheriff" series. The first book's publication date is June 26, 2024. Here is the synopsis:
Set in the 1850s, Loaded for Justice is a tale of former outlaws, lawmen, and families entangled in a complex web of betrayal, redemption, and the relentless pursuit of justice in a volatile Western backdrop. The narrative delves into the dichotomy of loyalty and duty, the profound impact of past actions on present relationships, and the constant struggle for peace amidst the ever-present threat of violence.
Unlike the damsels in distress that clutter history books, Martha refused to be confined by society's expectations. She possessed a sharp mind, a fierce spirit, and a surprising talent with a six-shooter – a rare combination for a woman in her time. Fueled by ambition and a thirst for knowledge, Martha yearned to carve her own path in a world designed to keep women on the sidelines. However, societal constraints weren't her only hurdles.
After a decade of forced respectability, Randall Pruitt craved the adrenaline rush of robbing stagecoaches. The thrill of the chase, the roar of the shootout, the easy pickings – it all called to him. But his glory days were a fading memory. His once-loyal gang had scattered, leaving Randall a solitary shadow of his former self. Resourceful as ever, he began piecing together a new crew, his resolve fueled by a twisted sense of obligation. "Family takes care of family," he'd mutter. This mantra rang hollow considering his strained relationships with his brother Joseph, nephew Thomas, and Alexander, the son of his deceased best friend.(less)

I enjoyed reading the book. It was a fast read and I liked the poetry. The commentary by the human authors was helpful for context. I’d love to read a prose story written by da vinci AI.
