Good News!!! I was invited to submit a short story to Rope and Wire's western fiction e-book anthology, ePulps. They accepted my story, The Reverend Mister Black, and it will be out in Volume 2. Good things are starting to happen.

  When his wife is abducted by a Comanche raiding party, Jake Hollister unpins his star and ventures out on a quest to find his beloved Suzanne. Now, six years later, his close friend John Henry Parker's wife , Sarah, has befallen the same fate.

  Agreeing to ride with his friend until Sarah is found, Jake and John Henry enlist the aid of an ex-buffalo soldier, Zachariah Benson, to lead them. But an encounter with a Comanche war party forces them to return home to recover from their wounds.

  Their relentless search resumes when Jake visits an old friend,Charlie Bold Eagle,and persuades the Comanche tracker to help them. A chance encounter with a trader soon brings them face to face with the feared Comanche War Chief, White Buffalo.
