Cash Laramie, raised by the Arapahos, is known as The Outlaw Marshal for his unorthodox conduct toward criminals and his cavalier approach to life. Gideon Miles, one of the first African Americans in the marshal service, is honorable, fearless, and unrivaled in his skills with guns, knives, and tracking.

Adventures of Cash Laramie and Gideon Miles is a short story collection of eight rousing, noir Western tales with a hardboiled edge. The Wind Scorpion Kid Eddie Miles to Go The Bone Orchard Mystery Melanie Under the Sun (with Sandra Seamans) The Outlaw Marshal The Lawyer * * * * * Praise for "Adventures of Cash Laramie and Gideon Miles" ... With ADVENTURES OF CASH LARAMIE AND GIDEON MILES, Edward A. Grainger has given fans of traditional Westerns something new and exciting to sink their choppers into. Not a fan of Westerns? Been a while since you've tucked into one? Prefer crime stories? No worries, these stories are as much crime, action, and adventure tale as they are Western. But all that genre affiliation aside, these are damn fine stories. --Matthew P. Mayo, Spur Award-winning author of "Tucker's Reckoning" I confess, until I read Grainger's Cash and Miles stories, I always thought of Westerns as dusty, dated affairs. But Grainger proved me wrong. His blend of Westerns and crime fiction is pitch-perfect, bringing out the best in both genres. --Chris F. Holm, Anthony Award nominee for "The Big Reap" The writing is spare and impactful, the stories are imaginative. Even if you don't think you're a fan of "Westerns," do yourself a favor and check out this collection --- it just might prove to be the best 99 cents you ever spent. --Wayne D. Dundee, author of the "Joe Hannibal PI" series If you're a Western fan and haven't yet made the acquaintance of Cash and Gideon, you definitely should, and this volume is a perfect introduction. --James Reasoner, author of "Texas Wind" Plain and simple, Edward A. Grainger's, ADVENTURES OF CASH LARAMIE AND GIDEON MILES, proves that there's not only life in the Western genre, but it's kicking butt and taking names. This is one of the most entertaining Westerns of the year. --Larry D. Sweazy, Spur Award-winning author of "The Coyote Tracker" The Adventures of Cash Laramie and Gideon Miles don't just provide good old fashioned Western adventure, but also give the Western genre a modern noir twist. A perfect example of pushing the boundaries of a genre while still providing solid entertainment. I'm there for the long ride. --Paul Bishop, author, screenwriter, star of "Take the Money and Run" These aren't just great Westerns; they're great stories. Mr. Grainger has put together one heck of a collection, featuring characters so full they call out for their own novels. Great work. And I look forward to what these characters do next. --Steve Weddle, author of "Country Hardball" There is humor and pathos and history and a reverence for the land and times. What a nice collection. --Patricia Abbott, author of "Home Invasion"

Download or read book Gospel of the Bullet written by Chris Leek and published by . This book was released on 2014-09-30 with total page 132 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Mitchel McCann may have lost a war, but he never lost his belief. The preacher kept his faith throughout all the blood and the dying, trading his pulpit for a saddle, and delivering his sermons with a brace of Walker Colts. McCann still believes in God, but he is no longer sure that God believes in him. Now fate has given him a chance at redemption. The opportunity to save a life instead of taking one. Justice Simpson was only seven years old when she lost father. She has been losing steadily ever since. The Yankee ball that killed Dan Simpson also killed his wife, Rosalee, although it took another nine years to do it. Alone and destitute on the unforgiving streets of Saint Joseph, Missouri, Justice knows that the sooner or later the bullet will find her too. In the winter of 1872 the war is long over, but on the Kansas-Missouri border old wounds are slow to heal and they leave ugly scars. The past is something that neither the preacher nor the girl can escape. Advance Praise "Chris Leek's GOSPEL OF THE BULLET is as tough-minded a Western tale as you're likely to run across. Dark, violent, yet heartbreakingly poignant, this story of the tragic legacy of war, as well as the unlikely friendship between a gunslinging preacher and an orphaned teenage girl with a troubled past and an uncertain future, will stick with the reader for a long time." - James Reasoner, author of Dancing with Dead Men and Last Chance Canyon "Chris Leek's GOSPEL OF THE BULLET IS a wonderfully satisfying Western novel. Mesmerizes... First-rate." - Edward A Grainger, author of Adventures of Cash Laramie and Gideon Miles "GOSPEL OF THE BULLET hooks you from the first volley of rifle fire to its last beautiful irony. Chris Leek's novella reminds you of the acid-stained Westerns of the 70's, by way of Charles Portis." - Gareth Spark, author of Half Past Nothing "Chris Leek's GOSPEL OF THE BULLET is a tight, gritty tale about redemption, blood, and friendship between the friendless. Gospel is another winner from One Eye Press, who have had nothing but winners to date." - Craig McNeely, editor of Dark Corners Magazine
