High Moon

by Zachary Ricks

From the author of Athena and the Mechanic and The Cost of Duty, a weird west short story about the things one does for one's immortal soul - such as it is.

When Seth "The Sinner" McAllen rode up to the sleepy little Colorado town, he didn't know why the preacher had sent them there. But he and his horse, Bones, agreed that sleepy little town had to be trouble. Why else send a cursed soul like his with a belt full of silver bullets?

About the author

Zachary Ricks is a writer, publisher, podcaster, and attorney. He learned to read at a young age, and had the benefit of a mother who read to him regularly. However, when he was five, his parents made the tactical error of taking him to see Star Wars. He's been a fan of genre fiction ever since, scaling his parent's bookshelf to get at his mom's collection of Piers Anthony, Alan Dean Foster, Terry Brooks and Edgar Rice Burroughs novels.
He lives in Austin TX, with his wife and daughter.
