When most girls were playing with dolls and hoping for boyfriends, she was learning how to detect a short deck, how to set one and how to slip or bottom deal. Her daddy did not want her to cheat, he wanted her to know how it's done, because the gift he gave her would make her rich, but, if she failed, destroy her. With the sudden, violent death of her father, she is thrust out into the world, perhaps too soon, or maybe, just at the right time. Calling on reserves and instincts she did not even know she possesses...

An unlikely pairing has our heroes working feverishly to solve the problems. ...

But it required love, sacrifice and a new awakening to make it happen... Another chilling tale from the DarkSide Western novels by the #TheStoryteller.

Scarlett's mother raised a good girl, telling her things she needed to know to survive this world. The most important was simply, “Never let them kiss you. Never let them love you. It will end in disaster.” Carrying that target imagined on every female freshman’s butt, she managed to waltz through the first year at the University of Georgia in Atlanta unscathed, then the second, and for some reason, people believed she might be an Ice Queen. Delightful to look at, impossible to hold. They had no idea how right they were…

This is a tongue in cheek tale of a highly romantic but very illogical song written forty plus years ago, Seven Spanish Angels. Perhaps if we look over the players, one will go with God, and perhaps, one will not. But the song relays the wrong message. Tragic, but the west and Mexico were full of this dichotomy. Enjoy! #TheStoryteller

The young Count-Heir was not much different than a lot of his late teen generation in 1866. But he had it made if he stayed put and paid his dues learning his father's company. But he was a dreamer.

Hell, why not a mink farm? Yeah, that seemed great! But life is what happens when we make plans. Especially if you have a good woman by your side.. #TheStoryteller.
