The brainchild of Amazon Kindle Number One bestselling western writers Mike Stotter and Ben Bridges, PICCADILLY PUBLISHING is dedicated to reissuing new and classic fiction from Yesterday and Today!
BLOOD ON THE REAPER
He had two wanted men on his list – the one hiding out in a log cabin somewhere up in the Ouatchita Mountains, and the other trying to cover his back-trail by mixing with the miners at Yellowrock, way out the other side of the territory. That meant a passel of riding and just maybe a passel of gunning before he ticked off the names.
Any other time Jonathan Grimm could handle it, no problem. He was a bounty-hunter, the best – that’s why they called him the Grim Reaper.
But this time things were a mite different for the seasoned bounty killer. He was lumbered with a ten year-old girl set square on his tow horse. She was sticking to him like a saddle burr ... and she was just as hell-fire irritating!
ABOUT THE AUTHOR
Leaving school early with few qualifications, Bryan Holmes went to work in a factory and then, in his own words, "got cheesed off, jacked it all in and went to university." Upon graduating he went to work teaching economics in a College of Advanced Technology and stayed in the profession for the rest of his working career. Bryan started writing seriously in the 1950s, but it was only in the mid-1970s that he turned to the western. "The odd thing is I'd never read a western until I'd written my first. Of course, I've read many since -- either to see how others do it or to read the books of writer-friends -- but I originally fell into the genre quite by accident." After The Avenging Four was accepted for publication, Bryan never looked back. In addition to a steady stream of accomplished westerns, he also began to sell short horror, crime and SF stories in the fields of science fiction, "and hearing actors speak my lines on the BBC, no less." Although poor health has now effectively ended Bryan's writing career, we are pleased to be reissuing two of his best-loved series -- The Reaper and Shatterhand -- in digital editions.
Genre: Western
