Her robe slipped from her shoulders and she stood naked before him. Savage reached for her gently, almost reverently. The light was turned down and a silver haze of moonlight drifted through the window of the hotel room.
“Help me forget, Clinton.”
He drew her to him and their mouths met. At first, they were hesitant with each other, for the only man she had ever known had been her husband, while Clint Savage was not totally sure how a man went about making love to a real lady.
But he soon found out that women were all wonderfully the same when the door was locked and moonlight flooded the quiet world outside. And it seemed that for both of them, all the harsh and bloody realities of the past were erased as they lay quietly in each other’s arms making plans for the days ahead.
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.
