About the Author

I had been driving for ages and had to admit I was lost! I turned back to the town to ask for directions. My GPS had packed up yesterday so I relied on road signs and gut feeling.  It was also getting late.  I pulled into a parking spot and walked into a tavern.

Walking up to the bar, I stood waiting to be assisted when a hand gripped my arm. How can I help a beautiful lady like you? a male voice said.

You can remove your hand! I replied, but the hand keep holding and rubbing my arm.

Come on, you know you like it! he said.

Kindly remove your hand! I repeated. The hand crept up my arm. For the last time, remove your hand now! The hand stayed. I moved fast, twisting my arm and bending and he was flat on his back rubbing the back of his head and looking dazed.

I turned back to the bar and asked the barman: Can you direct me to Triple S Ranch please?

You’re going to Triple S? He asked with raised brows.

No, I have been told to use it as a beacon to find my way further. I will know where to go from there. Why? I asked.

Because the owner of Triple S is currently lying flat on his back on the bar floor! He grinned.

Oh! He’s the owner? Maybe I better hightail it out of here before he gets up! I laughed.

No, have a drink on the house! Not many people get the better of Smarmy Sam! And never a woman! He said.

I decided what the hell, it’s late already. Maybe I better find a place to sleep tonight and continue in the morning! Thanks.  Jamieson and water please with ice.

There are rooms available upstairs if you want. I can call Sophia to book you in while you have a drink if you like? He said.

Please! That would be great! I replied.

Soon Sophia came in with the reception register.  She grinned at me. My hubby told me how you handled Smarmy Sam! Welcome! Just the one night? Dinner, Bed and Breakfast?

Please! I handed her my ID for information and signed the register. She asked if she could bring me a menu or if I wanted to go and sit in the dining room. Dining room please – preferably before he gets up. I followed her through.

She showed me the menu and asked if she may sit with me. Thank you for taking Sam down a peg or two! He is always all over the women and won’t take no for an answer.  How his poor wife puts up with him, I don’t know. Sue will tend his bruises tomorrow, but I wish she would give him a few more! She’s my sister and she says she loves him despite it all. Maybe one day, she’ll kick him to the kerb.  We can just hope. But tell me, how did you do it?

"It’s mainly Tai Chi mixed with other forms of defence and I use it as a form of self-defence.  It is using their own weight and movement against them. I twisted his arm and as he moved with
