A Legend Rides

I’m not sure how many western writings start on a ship off the African coast but “Kid Eddie” did. To pass the time in the confined space, I was watching on dvd the strange pairing of Californication and Wanted Dead or Alive. Nearly a year later and after several polishes, Marshal Cash Laramie finds himself escorting Eddie Morash, aka Kid Eddie, from a small jail in Vermillion back to Cheyenne to stand trial. But something is unsettling about Kid Eddie, something that, well, you'll have to read for yourself.

Cash Laramie returns in "Kid Eddie" at The Western Online September 12th.

I have a feeling...call it an educated guess...that this is gonna be a good one!

Thanks again, Rich. You helped me tighten the story in some key scenes.

I bet you're right; not too many westerns start near Africa. :)

Kind regards.

Chris, As always, I hope it averages up.

Barrie, But they should. :)

Alan, Gracias, amigo.

Wow...what a background for the story. I bet not many Westerns are imagined in such a setting.

Charles Gramlich said...

Looking forward to it.

Jim said...

I have been enjoying this gritty series of westerns.

David Cranmer said...

Laura, Yep, I'm thinking I'm in a minority on that one.

Charles/Jim, Glad to see Cash and Miles has fans.

Looking forward to reading more about Cash!

And glad to see you're rocking Use Your Illusion 1, one of my favorites.
