Thanks for commenting! Everything I have posted has and will always be complete. I will never abandon a story. I do, as in this case, had plans to further the story with further adventures, but I decided not to continue due to a lack of engagement. But I think I wrapped up the story I started, maybe not to everyone's liking, but logically, they couldn't have ridden off into the sunset. If I were to continue this story, I'd like to think they would have that moment of forever by the end of the planned third book. With few exceptions, each story takes me about two years to complete. That's a lot of time to invest in a story that only a handful of readers enjoyed. I will continue to share my sillier stories on GA, which most of the readers seemed to enjoy more than when I tried a more serious idea. I have a handful of other stories on my page that you might enjoy, but fair warning, the other ones are sillier and more sexual. I appreciate you taking the time to comment.

It seems like my nickname was apt, The Madame. Until this point, all three of the main characters had a moral compass. Granted it was a bit skewed, but that was the times. Devon was a healer, Alvarez was the protector, and The Madame was a mother figure. this thing with Jeb is neither moral nor ethical. My memory of the first five chapters does not match Jeb's recollection of events. As well as the timeline seems a bit off. If it's only been three weeks since Devon was robbed by the three Amigos, then the sentence every Tuesday brought a fight between the Christian boy and the Alvarez seems mute. Nor do I care about Jeb's motivations. You have a real uphill battle to make me give a flying leap (for you I won't swear as I do in my own comments ) about jeb or his seemingly penitent attitude. It's not impossible, it's been done before, but he's a weak human and doesn't seem to have any redeeming qualities. I am happily going to continue with this tale, as I love westerns and there are far too few good ones on this site. So I shall await the next five or six hours upon the next chapter release. .

That's the problem, I don't know that. . If you need help with the spanish swear words, I got you! .

Okay, I am going to have to disagree with all the readers and the author as well. I know I was pretty drunk last night when I finally was able to finish this chapter. But I'm pretty sure Alvarez never explicitly said he was into our little Mormon boy. I do not think the correct terms of the bet has been fulfilled. The bet was not that the town was going to accept them. The bet was that Alvarez was going to admit that he was in like with our Amish boy. And just because everyone in the town knows it, including the lion they have in his pocket, Alvarez does not know it. The bet is still on. Now I'm going back to work.

Truthfully I thought someone would remember the guy who saved Percy in Frosted Hearts was named Timothy Cain. And Christine’s boyfriend in Tyler’s Dilemma is the quarterback, last name Cain.

But Alvarez would be swearing at least in Spanish. 😜😜

The sexual tension is fun to read and the insight (by the way, I am tired of authors using names I can't spell, so I shall give her my own name ) the Madame has was cute. and how the two ladies were speaking as they passed the saloon was pretty accurate to how "confirmed bachelors" were looked upon in the west. No one spoke of it in polite company but it was not as frowned upon as it would become in the early part of the 1900's. Good job with the research. I still like the story and mostly have zero complaints. The complaints I have are mostly the lack of swearing. I just love to swear. . I'm off to the next chapter.

So we find out that a Mennonite or Amish boy is a wiz with sanitation and surgery. And Alvarez is a sucker. Though the set up and the reveal was hysterical so great job. You set up a villain, a need, and an interesting town for our characters to move through.

Thank you! I had a bunch of fun writing this story. I never tried to write in this genre before and it was challenging but i think the finished product is pretty darn okay.

What he said First you knew, then you didn't know, then you knew again. You could always start a campaign to get readers together. . Purely selfish statement

This was a delightful chapter. For one who grew up like Devon, he is awful perceptive. And Alvarez is so outlandish you can't help but like him even if he goes through life oblivious he comes off as a confirmed bachelor. Though to nip-pick. Homosexual was a brand new term in the 1890's and would not be used commonly. As for gay, that didn't mean what it means now until the 1920's. Sorry to be that guy, I've done too much research about this era as I've always wanted to write a western. I'l keep my thoughts to myself and continue onwards. The scene at the end, the bedroom scene, made me laugh. Because they very much use to hang a rope in the middle of a room with a blanket to separate men and women. Very enjoyable. Maybe Alvarez isn't as known as he portrays.

First, it is marked Complete. And I included the epilogue in this chapter. Maybe if people show enough interest in this story, I'll continue book two, Gabriel's Gambit: Mehmet. The story I really wanted to tell is the third one, Gabriel's Gambit: Friend Of The Family. I was surprised you continued after the first two comments. Thanks for the comments!

So I have finally posted all my ongoing projects, so I can finally dip into this story. I love westerns, one of my favorite genres but can't write in it to save my life. I think I swear to much and rely on dirty sex scenes. So I am hopeful this is what i need now that I have some time to read. By the way, its refreshing to see a cowboy who doesn't have a dog, dreadful things to have to read about. Devon has a great backstory and as for the outlaw, he kind of reminds me a little of Val Kilmer's character from Willow and the blond dude from Shanghai Knights.

Tom had bandaged his shoulder and taken a small dose of morphine. But his wound still throbbed. He had been lucky. The bullet missed any major arteries and had already started to coagulate. But any amount of activity would open the wound, so that was something he would have to avoid. Now that his left arm was out of commission, he would have to alter his plan drastically. There was no way he could make a clean shot. Now he’d have to get up close and personal. And that would be hard to

I was really hoping that I threw the scent off Tom, and onto the stranger enough that it was a big enough reveal. No one has really said one way or the other so....

I knew I liked you for more than your amazing wit....that is the correct answer I am assuming if they are so good at disguises, they would be equally good at changing their voice for different characters. lilkil.k.;o;oklkkkoiklpokjmn o0o0ooiolloiplpilpiol,.ol,iokmikj Sorry i had something sticky on my keyboard, and I don't believe in editing my comments. I'm thinking I should have put a throw away line saying how good Gabriel is at changing his voice. And the mysterious man, I'm sure he was changing everything to keep Gabriel off balance.

I make really good fried ravioli, though I use a mornay sauce for mine.

I should have put myself in my stories. That's a good idea.

And then I hurt myself and people had to wait like six weeks for the next chapter. That made me a bad man.

Tiger had a much bigger role to play in the next story, Gabriel's Gambit: Mehmet. But that story won't be written. But don't worry, this story wraps up and you get all the answers you need.

You must have been really bored!!! . Just kidding,

One of these days you and I need to collab on a project. I wish I could have such thoughts and ideas. . PS: you seemed to blow through the chapters rather quickly last night. I had like four or five to catch up.

The first time I wrote this scene, it was way more ambiguous and you didn't find out for a few chapters

Could you spot the joke I wanted to add so this entire scene at the dinner was created. Can you guess

Since I'm reading your comments backwards because I'm ridiculous. You must have said Scott was alive. . you deserve a gold star
