    About this ebook

    Just pause for a moment and ponder over a tale that reads like a cross between Lonesome Dove and Twin Peaks.

    Bass Clayton is a bounty killer turned professional drunkard. Silver Grimes is the man who inadvertently turned Bass Clayton into a drunk – after Bass accidentally shot Silver’s arm off with an eight gauge shotgun.

    Sally Jezebel has a secret that she is keeping from both of them.

    Their lives will turn when Newt Gallagher came riding into Willy Jake’s bar on top of Pritcher Targate’s prize sow.

    Now the question you've got to ask yourself – is just how far will one man will go?

    By the author of the mind-blowing hockey/vampire novella SUDDEN DEATH OVERTIME.

    Everybody always wants a peek at the man behind the curtain. They all want to see just exactly what makes an author tick.Which ticks me off just a little bit - but what good is a lifetime if you can't ride out the peeve and ill-feeling and grin through it all. Hi! I am Steve Vernon and I'd love to scare you. Along the way I'll try to entertain you and I guarantee a giggle as well.If you want to picture me just think of that old dude at the campfire spinning out ghost stories and weird adventures and the grand epic saga of how Thud the Second stepped out of his cave with nothing more than a rock in his fist and slew the mighty saber-toothed tiger.If I listed all of the books I've written I'd most likely bore you - and I am allergic to boring so I will not bore you any further. Go and read some of my books. I promise I sound a whole lot better in print than in real life. Heck, I'll even brush my teeth and comb my hair if you think that will help any.For more up-to-date info please follow my blog at:http://stevevernonstoryteller.wordpress.com/And follow me at Twitter:@StephenVernonyours in storytelling,Steve Vernon
