3 Gods, 2 Bets, 1 Texan

by Eric Alan Westfall

A pair of competitive trickster gods strut into a Texas bar...and the Dragon King gives his seventh son an unknown Caravaggio for his hundredth hatchday. What could go wrong?

Find out, in...

3 Gods, 2 Bets, 1 Texan: a 2139-word tale about Loki and Coyote competing for a Greek-named ranch hand in Jake’s Bar, located in Godsawful-Lonesome, Texas.

A Caravaggio Hatchday: a 6238-word tale of a more-than-life-sized painting of Alexander and Hephaestion, ah, doing the deed (guess who’s on top) in glorious color and equally glorious and visible detail. But instead of dear-old-King-Dad keeping it safe for his son’s hoard during the three and a half day hundredth-hatchday party, it gets put on display in the Kansas City story where Colin, in human form, sells fine books and fine art. And like the old song says, “that old devil consequence” gets involved.

About the author

Guess what...that image ain't really me! (Not nearly enough grey hair). That's Kerry Chin Chew Yee's image of DarkFire for the cover of The Warlord and the Bard. And since he's the favorite of my characters...what better image? Maybe more about me later.
