It seems like a long time coming, but then it was! My second collection weird western stories has finally come together. It seems like only yesterday that I didn’t really believe I would ever have a story published!
Ebooks are out now, popping up all over the place randomly. The print versions will appear anytime soon, and, there is even, once again, a hardcover version going to be out there! Soon… very soon… like, I hope tomorrow, type of soon.
I’ve been working on a quick video to go with it, like I did for the first Blazing Uncanny Trails, but I don’t have the same software I once did. Not sure how it will turn out. Head on over to my Facebook page to see, if you are interested!

Something to Pass the Time
Hi there! I’m Sam.
You probably don’t know me, but that’s all right. I want to give you something anyway.
I’d like to give you a free ebook, no strings attached.
Really.
In the next few weeks, a lot of us are going to be stressed out and anxious, and we are going to be asked not to go places. That means not do things. That means stay at home, and that usually means some of us get MORE stressed out, anxious, lonely, and depressed.
I can’t really do much about that. But I can offer you a free copy of one of my ebooks.
You don’t have to sign up for anything. I don’t need your e-mail. You don’t even need to worry about the download because it will come from a trusted store.
If you decide you want to leave a review, great! But you don’t have to. If you want to buy another of my books, great! But you don’t have to.
This is my gift to you. Hopefully it will distract you for an evening when you need distracted. If you know someone else who might want the distraction, tell them about it.
Meanwhile, please be safe. Take care of youself. Use common sense. Be nice to others. We’ll get through this.
[image error]Hopefully Amazon will make it free, too, as a price match, but they don’t let me set it free there. Meanwhile, it is free at these places!

A Whiskey Jack in a Murder of CrowsRainbow County California
Unrivaled sunsets, placid lakeside orchards, pleasant mountain vineyards, and a rural lifestyle.
The only thing stopping this place from being idyllic is the noise from the cars on the highway. And murder.
Left for dead, helpless as he watched the murder of his family, Jack is a broken man.
Six months later, Jack is attempting to recover, both in body and in soul, at a vineyard he inherited from his uncle.
California Wine Country seems like a good place to start over and escape the nightmares of his daughter’s dying cries.
Until the local barkeep confides Jack’s uncle was murdered.

The Devil’s Treasure
The Devil’s Treasure is a weird western novelette.
New Mexico Territory
1851
The Grand Canyon
Somewhere down there, silver is lying around on the ground, left behind by the Spanish, just waiting to be picked up. At least, that’s what Chaddock and the others have been told. Never mind the curse of El Tesoro del Diablo—the reason why it was left behind.
This started out as a short story that grew too big (twice the size it should have been) for the typical places that want short stories. Instead of cutting out everything I liked about it to make it fit, I decided to put it out there myself! I hope you enjoy it!
