Fourteen-year-old Connor Mack dreams of a life adventure
while stuck plowing, doing all the chores, and being treated as a slave on the
half barren family spread in East Texas. He plans to one day flee the beatings
delivered by his hulking older brothers and lazy pa. But he knows if he does,
he must take his twin sister Abby—who is not always right in the head—with him.
He gets his chance when River Hicks, a man wanted for the murder of a policeman
in Fort Worth, rides in with a pack of bounty hunters on his trail. When the
gun smoke clears, Connor has killed men for the first time, but he also knows
this is his and Abby’s time to escape their life of abuse…Knowing the law will
soon be on their heels, they follow Hicks—an outlaw driven by his own demons,
and by deep secrets which somehow involve the Mack twins…Conner has a lot of
learning and growing up to do—and he has to stay alive to do it.

gold…With Hicks gone, Conner and Abby are welcomed into the home of a local
widow—the richest lady in town with a deadly secret agenda. When the widow
develops an unnatural attachment to Abby, and her three unbalanced sons turn
deadly, the beautiful mansion on the hill turns into a possessed house of
horrors. Connor can feel Abby slipping away as the house and the widow put a
spell on her. When he uncovers the family’s secrets, he knows he’s in a
desperate race to save Abby…The fuse has been lit and it’s burning down fast
for both gunslingers. Can they join forces again and get away before it all
blows up in their faces?
GUNSLINGER #3
KILLER’S CHOICE
Mike Black writing as A.W. Hart
An ostensibly simple, but hazardous job of delivering some
much-needed nitroglycerin components to a burgeoning railroad town in the
Arizona Territory proves problematic for the trio of River Hicks, Connor Mack
and his twin sister, Abby…Along the way they rescue a Chinese man on the verge
of being lynched by a pack of crooked deputies. Moved by the Chinese man’s tale
of his quest to free his beautiful fiancée from the savage grip of human
traffickers, they are surprised and dismayed to find the girl is being held in
the town of Woodman, which is their own destination. The town is run by a
brutal, self-aggrandizing strongman who has taken over and renamed the town
after himself. This self-anointed Duke also has ties to a mysterious financial
backer who, unbeknownst to everyone, has enlisted an unscrupulous Pinkerton
detective and a professional killer, known as The Regulator, to track down and
kill Hicks, Connor, and Abby…All trails unite in the dusty streets of the
small, Arizona town where Hicks, Connor, and Abby come face to face with the
vicious array of killers for a final showdown they soon realize has become a
killer’s choice.
