Orphan
Ramsay Quarles is already a wanted man when he guns down a cheating gambler in a small Kansas town. Now the dead man’s nephew, Jack, has decided Ramsay is his new guardian and guide to the western frontier. Meanwhile, Les Booker just wants to work his job as a foreman in a Chicago meatpacking plant, marry the girl he’s been courting, and forget he used to be a Pinkerton man. The last thing he wants to do is try to track down his rich boss’s runaway grandson. But his girl isn’t who he thought she was, and if he wants to continue to see her, he has no choice but to do what Mr. Arrington demands. Ramsay, Jack, and Les are on a collision course, with a bounty hunter hot on Ramsay’s trail and a clock running on Les’s romantic future.

About the author
Steven E. Wedel
59 books139 followersI’ve been writing stories since I was a teenager dreaming of fame and fortune in the literary world. While I’m still waiting on the fortune part, I’ve published over 50 books, mostly in horror, but also in literary fiction, thrillers, Westerns, young adult, and children’s genres—sometimes under other names.
My writing tends to explore the darker sides of life, often blending the supernatural with raw human emotion. If you like slow-burn psychological horror with depth, you’ll probably find something on my shelf worth reading.
In my other lives, I’ve worked as a machinist, journalist, corporate writer, public relations guy, and English teacher. I have a master's degree in creative writing from the University of Oklahoma, and a background in journalism, too. I'm a lifelong Oklahoman, currently living in the central part of the state with a couple of dogs, a cat, and too many books.
When I'm not writing, I'm probably kayaking, camping, or spending time with my kids and grandkids.
Feel free to reach out—I enjoy connecting with readers.
