Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When Robert Willingham, alias Robert Evans, came to Dry Wells, Texas, he was answering a job advertisement. Jed Cobb, a rancher, had chosen Robert because of his name on a WANTED poster -- which told Robert (now an ex-con man) that the old Texan probably needed some shady business done. He didn't dream that this included the murder of Cobb's two nephews in order to secure title to the ranch they had inherited from their aunt, Cobb's long dead wife. But Evans was no murderer, and he concocted a plot of his own, complicated by the intrusion of the vengeful Comanche leader, Buffalo Hump. Can he save the lives of the two innocent boys and preserve the heritage of the Three Oaks Ranch? "Mayhar's novel gives you a genuine feeling for the old west, from the cadence of the language to the situations themselves. A grand adventure with real people in a western setting!" -- Robert Reginald.

Now an embarrassment to her family, she is sent forth to make her own way in the world. But Grittel Sundotha is no shrinking maiden. Along the way she castrates a noble noted for his lechery; defeats the assassins he sends after her; and, having been trapped by a sorceress in an enchanted forest, winds up boiling the witch in her own cauldron, taking with her the spell book she finds there. This proves invaluable, for she finds that she has an innate gift for sorcery. When she meets a space ship's crew whose vessel has been pulled from their own dimension (where magic is impossible), into Grittel's (where technology does not work), she attempts to prove her abilities by "clearing" the Captain's head--and instead, inadvertently makes it invisible. She knows that she must find the wizard whose spell has trapped the ship, for only he can send the vessel home. But not all mages on this world practice white magic!
