Clint Tanner's first meeting with Stephanie Eliott was more than just awkward, it was a catastrophe! Pretending that he thought her to be the bawdy house's new girl, he patted the haughty easterner on the posterior and swept her into his arms for a passionate kiss--a welcome to the West. Surely this crude cowboy couldn't be the legendary gunfighter Stephanie had immortalized in the dime novels she'd written under an assumed name!Proper, pristine, and punctual--that was what people always said about Stephanie Elliott, little realizing that she had a secret; she had won fame and fortune writing under the pseudonym of Steven E. Winslow. Now she had come West to meet her hero, hoping that the encounter would bring her the kind of happy ending she wrote in her books. Little did she know she would get much more than she bargained for.Clint Tanner cursed Steven E. Winslow with every breath. Damn that writer! Because of his novels Clint was now a legend, the target for every young hothead around who sought their own fame by calling him out for a gun fight. Whoa be to that author if he ever got his hands on him.
Clint Tanner was the "bad boy" character in Hockett's RENEGADE LADY (also an excellent read). Now as an ex-gunfighter who is down on his luck he takes a job as a guide. Little does he know that the "lady" he is leading towards Tombstone is in reality the author who has made him a legend. When he finds out the fireworks are kindled. A very good read from a great storyteller. Trust me, you will enjoy it!
