Saturday Spankings is the blog hop where we share 8 sentences of one of our books.
This week I'm sharing one last snippet of my Western - The Ways of the West.
Felicity Nichols gave it a 5 star review which you can read here: Nichols Reviews
BUY HERE:
The early morning air was rent with the
haunting melody of a hymn being played on Johnny’s harmonica as the drovers
stood around the grave he’d dug the night before, their hats in their hands as
a mark of respect, their faces drawn and somber.
It was always hard to lose one
of their own, even more so in circumstances like this. The young nighthawk
wouldn’t have had a chance – they all knew how silently Indians could move in
the shadows and how accurate their arrows were, even in the dark.
No one envied
Mr Jordan his job of riding into town later in the day to wire the tragic news
to the boys’ parents, but it was a job that had to be done. Just 21 years old,
his life had barely begun, now it had been snuffed out so ruthlessly, so
needlessly.
And there would be more bloodshed before the day was over.

DeleteCrossing the country in wagons was never an easy journey and deaths happened, though the wagon master did everything he could to avoid them. You brought the scene to life, Kelly. Nicely done.
