    About this ebook

    Practicing his quick draw seemed a harmless amusement…until the day a boys' quarrel exploded into gunplay.

     

    Sixteen-year-old Lew Kelly grew up idolizing his enigmatic ex-gunfighter father. Everyone thought Lew's habit of practicing his quick draw was a harmless amusement—until the day when a boys' hot-headed quarrel exploded into gunplay, with disastrous results.

    Three years later, Lew is withdrawn and bitter—and he still carries a gun. When an unexpected twist of circumstances forces him to face again the memories and the aftermath of that ill-fated fight, will old wrongs be righted—or will the result be an even worse tragedy than before?

      Water Under The Bridge

      Nov 10, 2022

      The sound of water coursing over rocks filled my ears. The creek banks reached out with lush green vegetation as if to grab and hold me, and the warm June air was sweet with the smell of honeysuckle. The creek was small. Four good jumps and I could g
