COWBOY CHRISTMAS – SILVER BELLES AND STETSONS ANTHOLOGY by Margaret Tanner

My forebears left their native shores in sailing ships to forge a new life in the untamed frontiers of colonial Australia. They battled bushfires, hardship and the tyranny of distance in an inhospitable and savage land. Only the tough and resilient would survive. They not only survived, but prospered.

The same could be said for the early settlers in America. They opened up vast tracts of land in the wilderness. Fought and died trying to tame it.

The histories of our two countries in the early frontier days was very similar, only the terminology was different. Big land holders were called ranchers in America, squatters in Australia. We had bushrangers, you had outlaws. We called our cowboys stockmen.

Like the American West, many of our towns were wild and lawless. There was a huge single male population and yet a relatively small amount of eligible, respectable, women, so mail order brides, for example, were a necessity. Brothel, bordello, whore-house, cat house, call them what you like, but these places of male pleasure, thrived in the frontier towns.  Many a Madame became wealthy women.

I was thrilled to be invited to join in this Christmas Anthology, Silver Belles And Stetsons.  My story is called Christmas Cowboy.

COWBOY CHRISTMAS:

Zac Goodman is a gunslinger who is haunted by an injustice from his past. He finds heavily pregnant Holly O’Leary in an abandoned wagon, her cheating husband lying dead a few yards away.

Reluctantly he takes her to his cabin to give birth.

Will this miracle Christmas baby unite two tortured souls? Or will it forever keep them apart.
