Savage was beginning to regard this as a dull night. But he changed his mind when he stabled his horse, finished his cigar standing under the big tree by the barn, then made his way to his room to find it occupied.
The lightning draw he executed as he caught the stir of movement in the gloom was as fast as ever. The hammer was back, his finger firm upon the trigger, and he was ready to blow the intruder clear through the wall if needs be.
Then he realized two things simultaneously.
The person in his bed was Charity.
And she was naked ...
E. Jefferson Clay was just one of many pseudonyms used by New South Wales-born Paul Wheelahan (1930-2018). Starting off as a comic-book writer/illustrator, Paul created The Panther and The Raven before moving on to a long and distinguished career as a western writer. Under the names Emerson Dodge, Brett McKinley, E. Jefferson Clay, Ben Jefferson and others, he penned more than 800 westerns and could, at his height, turn out a full-length western in just four days.
The son of a mounted policeman, Paul initially worked as a powder monkey on the Oaky River Dam project. By 1955, however, he was drawing Davy Crockett - Frontier Scout. In 1963 he began his long association with Australian publisher Cleveland Pty. Co. Ltd. As prolific as he was as a western writer, however, he also managed to write for TV, creating shows like Runaways and contributing scripts to perennial favorites like A Country Practice. At the time of his death, in December 2018, he was writing his autobiography, Never Ride Back ... which was also the title of his very first western.
