Charlie Barnett

Standing in the Shadow Charlie Barnett

When you grow up living in the shadow of a great man, one tends to follow the leader. How true this was with me. My Mother wanted me to be a Doctor or Preacher... ?Someone she could be proud of,? she said. I often wondered why she married a gun slinger. Well my father wasn?t a regular gunfighter he was an appointed U S Marshall by the Governor. Shot by a Marshall or shot by a professional gunslinger, Mother said: ?One was just as dead.? Oh well, I become a chip off the ol? block and became one of the fastest guns in the west. Against all of my mother?s wishing and teaching I had killed four men before I was sixteen year of age. I knew my father and mother was giving me their seal of approval the night he penned a star on my vest and I went for the shooter that left my father paralyzed. A western novel you will read and tell others, it?s that good. That?s right, Charlie Barnett just keeps coming up with the best.
