Darrell Sparkman, author of the western novel OSAGE DAWN, presents two romantic western short stories in this latest edition of WHISKEY SHOTS. "Stage To Abilene" is a story about a marshal with a warrant to serve, a girl that decides he is too good a man to die, and an unexpected way to come up with a winning hand. Marshal Matt Bodine knows he can beat Texas Red Wyrick, but what about the others who will be with him? "Comanche Trail" is a story of unexpected romance, from an unlikely source, at an unlikely time. John Becker rescues a waif of a girl from Comanche renegades. He soon finds out she is the most irritating, frustrating, and absolute pain in the butt woman he has ever met—and can't be without.
