Cayenne and the Diablo Kid

By Constance Cassinelli

Cayenne, the feisty, red-haired owner of Loopy Dog Saloon, has a reputation of rescuing eclectic, discarded people and providing shelter while training them to be responsible members in the community of 1885 Silverbend, Colorado.

An insane asylum escapee, Inka May Donovan, spawned a clutch of murderous sons who are also adept at stealing land and rustling coveted Appaloosas.
Ida Becker, from a homesteading German family, was forced into marriage with Fats Donovan, the greasy owner of Big Moon Way Station. She feared for her life and sought refuge at Loopy Dog.

In desperation, Cayenne placed an ad in the Silverbend Gazette pleading for the mysterious Diablo Kid to come provide protection and enforce vigilante justice as needed for the safety of her newly founded family of misfits.

Who is the Diablo Kid? Even he doesn’t know. The plot thickens with each new discovery. In the meantime, he enjoys the warmth he finds with Cayenne and his newfound family in the Loopy Dog Saloon.

Constance Cassinelli

Constance can relate to being a female Huckelberry Finn on a raft down the river of life in search of adventure. Wonderful tributaries have provided the thrill of writing discoveries as well as challenges. To navigate back upstream against current has provided the greatest reward as it has been a real test of determination and resourcefulness.Some of the writing adventures she has explored are a historical novel beginning the year of European revolutions in 1848 Liguria, a humorous novella-cookbook set in England, the flash non-fiction escapades involving eccentric family members, and the numerous comedy of errors experienced by her poet friend, Jeannie Weenie.
