Gunslinger

Gunslinger

They say girls can’t be gunslingers. Beth’s gonna prove ’em wrong.

Even if she has to fight a dragon to do it.

The ghost of Calamity Jane gave her the gun. Wild Bill Hickok taught her to shoot. And at sixteen, she’s ready to make a name of her own. So when strange assailants murder a visiting Arapaho shaman, Beth straps on her Colt .45. She must find the killers, defeat their dragon, and prevent the destruction of the West.

From the Author:
Gunslinger exists because my wife requested more stories with female characters, but I really wrote it for my daughter. She’s a "small but fierce” girl who would stare down a monster with a glare and a snarl. A lot of her spirit made its way into Beth, who began as a secondary character in my novel Sidekick, but was one of those classic scene stealers who needed her own starring role. Then it was just a matter of giving her a worthy opponent. I figured a dragon might just fit the bill. It turned out to be a lot of fun to write.

About the Author
Edward J. Knight

A fourth generation Coloradoan, Edward J. Knight only left the Denver area long enough to learn how to put a satellite into orbit. Four satellites (and counting) later, he's returned to both the mountains and writing fantastical fiction. Along the way, he met the love of his life and became the father of two amazingly curious kids. He’s a huge fan of tightly constructed universes and smart plots. He hopes his own Mythic West stories hold up to those standards. More of his work can be found at www.edwardjknight.com
