Texicans

Texicans – Two novelettes of what men will go through to protect who and what they love. Men who don’t want to be kings but want to be free to live their lives as honest men.

The Canyon of Maverick Brands (1945)
They brought their spoils beneath the rim of the Skyline and settled to feast under an Owlhoot moon. But Ross Kirby, riding hand on holster, tallied a double-cross kill and ripped the wolf-pack war wide open.
A seven chapter novelette.

Texicans Die Hard! (1947)
How could a forty-a-month cowpoke rod this huge old Mexican rancho? Charlie Drake listened grimly to the hate-filled whispers in the patio shadows, the gun-hammers clicking back, the thumbs rasping across fresh-honed blades—and felt the answer dragging at his belt.
A ten chapter novelette.
