Overview

Joshua sat down and gave a nod to Cody. Cody followed Joshua’s eyes toward the bar. He gave him a slight nod in return. Anna saw the exchange between the two of them and she twirled at her hair turning to glance at the bar. Thomas and Kenny both bowed their heads slightly and they sat there not making any moves, acting like nothing was wrong. Brennan leaned into Joshua. “Give me your gun belt under the table. I will face them.”
“You know I can let you do that.”
“I know you don’t trust me, and I don’t blame you. But you’re not fast enough to face them.”
“Sorry, but it’s my job —“ Joshua stopped his sentence when he felt the barrel of a gun stuck in his rib cage.
Brennan whispered, “I won’t shoot you to kill you; I will shoot you in the leg to stop you, and it will hurt like hell. Now slowly give me the other pistol you have on your left side. Don’t let on like anything is happening. Do it nice and easy.” Joshua reached down under the table and handed Brennan his Colt. “I’m going to stand up now and face those two men. Don’t try and stop me. If for some reason I get killed. I just want you to know I had a great time tonight. I can die a happy man for knowing you and your deputies.”

Here is a review from "you'll be sorry".5.0 out of 5 stars Thoroughly enjoyed July 9, 2013
By read-along-with-Sue
I couldn't sleep well last night due to the heat, so I picked up this short story.
The author John A Miller is a new author, very new to me. His style was superb, I loved the concept of the story and how it built very quickly, the characters in the book soon shot up to be real to me, and Herman, the dog. I could have read this book for longer as I had enjoyed it so much. The 'kick' in the book came suddenly which kept me enthralled, too short! I wanted more.

I downloaded this book when it was pointed out to be a freebie that day, so glad I did, I thoroughly enjoyed it and can't wait to read his other books. Can I just say to, I have "met" the author on line, he's a lovely humble chap too. Please look out for his books, you won't regret it.

Here is an excerpt from "Trail Dust".
"I think you need to go outside and get some air, my friend."
"You're that marshal everyone is talking about. You would rather talk than fight."
"I like to keep the peace, you could say."
The man turned to the other men at the table. "He is a coward with a badge." He spat, hitting the floor an inch from Joshua's right boot. The other three men at the table laughed.
"I'm going to ask you again. Go outside and cool off."
The man stood there boring holes in Joshua with his eyes. Their eyes met for another moment until the man reached for his gun. Joshua drew his Colt from his left holster and pointed it at the man's chest. He froze and his eyes widened. The man sitting in the middle of the table started to stand slowly. Joshua drew his Colt from his right holster and pointed it at him, without taking his eyes off the man standing.
"There are four of us, and you have both guns spoke for." said a third man at the table. His face slid from smug to scared when he felt Anna's Schofield push against the back of his head. The man raised his hands slowly.
In closing he would like to say.
" Be proud of where you come from, because it will reflect on what you have become today
