Yup. Me too.

Fox and Other Tales They’d been pondering for more than two weeks on the fate of Regis and Darnell, since there’d been no sign of Runyan in all that time. They’d spoke of them plenty, about how it might could be the Lord what put those scared and weary young men in their path so they could help them in a time of need. And it had to be more than coincidence Runyan appeared when he did, didn’t it? A man who had a plan for saving them? August carried faith it’d turned out

Welcome, Evan, and good luck. Cheers. Gary

That's how it was in many parts of a growing country. Law was spread thin, and bullies got away with way more than they should have. If you had the money, you could always find a bad guy or two or three to do your bidding. Albert is a powerful man, and August needs to tread carefully. He understands that now more than ever. One wrong move could cost him dearly. Thanks, buddy... hope you are enjoying this tale.

Yes, it is.

Yes, he is, and I suspect he isn't married because Albert hasn't picked him out a wife yet. He comes from a wealthy family, so yeah, there is probably someone who'd marry Rob. I agree. August's life will never get better as long as he lives at that ranch and under Albert's thumb. At least he has a good option if he takes it. It sounds like he's finally decided. Thanks, my friend. Much appreciated.

I'm so sorry to hear that, my friend. Unfortunately, it's been my biggest worry since writing my first western... how many readers would be turned off by the 'western speak'. I still don't know if some readers are passing by this story and other of my westerns because of it, but what can I do? I strive to tell an authentic tale, one that feels and sounds right to me. I made a choice and I have to live with it. I hope you stick with it, but I do understand if you don't. Albert is cruel, and we get to learn more about him as the story progresses. Rob does his best to please his father, and part of that is being a brute. Clearly, he is following August to please his father... and I think August has had enough. Thanks for letting me know how you feel, buddy. I appreciate it and your support. Cheers! Gary

That's scary. Stay safe, Albert.

You're all that and a bag of chips, dude.

True, but you're one of the guys too.

Compared to you lot? Yeah.

Just like me.

Shhhhh... a gentleman never tells....

You're both one of a kind... Just like me... in bed...

Greetings and salutations to all those just like me.

Yep... just like me.

Just like me.

Too needy.

Faster than Drew's toenails.

They are cute, but they are escape artists, and they are not happy unless they are right beside you.

No goats! Never again!

Time to go mow... again... always always mowing....

I'm missing my horse badly today...

Damn! it's getting difficult to tell AI images from real ones. Frustrating! World, what the hell are we doing? We can't trust anything.

Hello, you varmints....
