The Half-Breed GUNSLINGER III
Duke Montgomery is an Indian fighter—a hard-as-nails killer, plain and simple—who doesn't think twice about ambushing a man or killing him face-to-face. When he learns his brother Richard is dead, killed by the Half-breed Gunslinger, Duke goes on the hunt.
To avoid trouble after his dealings with Richard Montgomery, Hunter James Dolin and his woman, Helen, travel deep into the Everglades to live in peace for a while. But, as is the way of the world, trouble soon comes looking for them.
How many will die as Duke Montgomery seeks the Half-breed Gunslinger to get revenge? And what surprises are in store for Hunter James Dolin? Will he be able to survive MONTGOMERY’S REVENGE?
EXCERPT
Hunter came up out of the lake to see the bear headed for
the cabin where Helen slept.
Naked, Hunter ran at the bear as he drew the remaining
revolver from its holster and pulled the trigger, aiming at the bear's
backside. All he got were clicks. The bear had almost reached the cabin door
when Hunter caught up with him. He turned the revolver around, using the butt
like a club on the backend of the large animal. The bear turned quickly, with a
ferocious growl, making Hunter stop and begin stepping backward.
"Helen!"
Hunter yelled. "I could use some help out here!"
The bear came at him at a run. Hunter whirled around and
ran straight for the lake as fast as he could. After five strides, he dove in.
As his head hit the water, he heard gunfire, and then went under. Hunter
quickly came back up from the depths, taking a breath of air and turned around,
whipping the hair from his eyes as he paddled his feet to stay afloat just off
the bottom. A smile of relief and pride came over him at what he saw. Standing
naked over the unmoving black bear at the edge of the lake was his beautiful
woman, and in her hands were two smoking Dragoon revolvers.
"Hell of a mornin'," Helen said, with a big
smile.

Bret, I have really enjoyed your Half-Breed Gunslinger series--lots of action and you kept me wondering how in the heck he was going to get out of that next jam...and the next one! Happy release day! Congratulations!
ReplyDeleteThank you Cheryl, My goal is to write page turners.
DeleteWow! This is a new-to-me series. I love lots of shoot 'em up action and gunslinging adventure. Best of luck with this latest installment.
ReplyDeleteThank you Kaye, I always felt I was born a hundred and fifty years to late !
DeleteI've been wanting to read this series. I guess I'd better get on it. I've been working on a YA series, Vaqueras, a contemporary Western. The protag is a half gringo and half Mexican.
ReplyDeleteThanks Gordo. Going in I thought with many kids today growing up bi-racial that a half-breed might tap into a new market ? Trying to keep the western alive !
DeleteSounds awesome!! Can't wait to read.
ReplyDeleteThank you Pam, The Florida western is an untapped market. Feel free to tell The History channel or AMC about it ?
DeleteI'm definitely a fan of Helen's. Not only is she brave and good with her revolvers, but she has a sense of humor. I like that.
ReplyDeleteI want to congratulate you on this new release and wish you great success with Montgomery's Revenge.
