Buffalo Wolves
Left by themselves on the hardscrabble Nebraska frontier, teenaged sisters Edna and Holly Blanchard persevere with twin carbines and iron determination. By themselves, but not exactly alone. And an unguarded moment is all Peck Harris and his craven brothers need to take what they want. Plus! Pap McGee spins a Yuletide windy of fast violence, hard justice, and a gift at Bitter Creek.

The Old West of Holt County, Nebraska, is flowing strong through the veins of Mr. Richard Prosch, and he’s pouring it out onto the (virtual) page.
The title tale of the new two-story collection Buffalo Wolves introduces two young ladies who find themselves parent-free on the ragged edge of civilization. It ain’t long before human predators start circling, and the girls face a hard choice: flee, lay down and die, or find the grit to fight back.
There’s some fine writing here, as these unlikely heroines suck it up and make their stand. There’s even a guest appearance by Holt County Deputy Whit Branham, star of Branham’s Due and Holt County Law.
Next up is something completely different. “A Gift at Bitter Creek” is a tall tale/ghost story told by Pap McGee, proprietor of the general store. Pap (being a figment of Mr. Prosch’s fertile imagination) is a gifted storyteller, and like “Buffalo Wolves,” this one comes to a thoroughly satisfying conclusion.
What’s next from Holt County? Don’t have a clue, but I look forward to reading it.

Author Richard Prosch continues his stories set in his native Nebraska, both modern and set in the old west. Here we have a tale set in Holt County of two young women having to fend for themselves, their parents missing.
dealing with thieving neighbors that have taken a cow and promise to return for more. eputy Whit Branham makes a brief appearance at the end.
The second story, A GIFT AT BITTER CREEK, is a ghost story.
Both good reads.
