    About this ebook

    A collection of three short stories in which each character faces danger and the possibility of their own death. The first story, "A Hero Discovered," explores the bonds of a struggling family with unknown powers. The second story, "Billy the Blade," turns the baddest gunslinger in the West trope on its head. What happens when Billy brings a knife to a gun fight? Finally, "Words Ceremony" confronts the struggle of learning more about your future than you should. How would you react if you knew your final words?

    Hello, world! I am a writer that enjoys working in a variety of genres and formats. Trying to figure life out through putting pen to paper. Or more accurately, fingers to keyboard. I'm always excited to get feedback on my work, so please leave a review, or reach out to me on Twitter. I just launched my Fantasy Western serial, REDLAND RIDGE, please check it out! The first issue is free.
