Bluestone

by Bryan Blake

Overview

The old west settlement of Bluestone had its characters — unruly miners, cardsharps, drunks, and prostitutes — but Expansion brought a deadlier variety of malcontents, and the town’s spirit changed.
Nearby towns had hard-hitting sheriffs like Wyatt Earp — Bluestone had Bonny Lou Baker, a female Sheriff. The headstrong college dropout claimed the sheriff job no one else wanted, almost as a lark. Even her boyfriend, a Copper Queen Mine geologist, thought those fancy frontier six-shooter were baubles to go with her buckskins. But her no-nonsense attitude, and her twin ivory-handled Colts, kept petty criminals at bay.
The Mayor and the townspeople weren’t sure she could handle the new trouble-makers: a gang leaving a trail of robberies and slaughtered victims, bearing down on Bluestone. What could one Eastern-raised woman do?

About the Author

About the author:

What is now some of California’s prime Granny Smith orchards and almond groves was the author’s Wild West prairie. From his earliest memories to the day he reached fifteen and struck out on his own to see the rest of the world, the wide-open spaces of the San Joaquin prairie was home. By the age of eleven (when school was out), he would take his single shot .22 rifle, a couple spring traps and trek across waste land looking for game. Most days he didn’t return before dark and at times, it would be midnight. He had free rein to go and come, except when he came home reeking of skunk musk. .
San Joaquin Valley was a great place to grow up.
After residing in Los Angeles, New York, Miami, Nassau, Bahamas, Reno, and Springfield, Mo, he now lives in Port Saint Lucie, Florida. With career's as varied as residences he retired in 2013 and began to write.
