About this book

Recounts myths of the closing decades of the western frontier viewed through the eyes of Nellie Courtright and her brother Jackson, orphans that make good in the town of Rita Blanca in what would become the Oklahoma Panhandle.

Who this is for

AI · Sample

A relentless, joke-a-page apocalyptic LitRPG that rewards readers who don't mind game mechanics on the page. The humour does the heavy lifting — if Hitchhiker's Guide meets a roguelike sounds appealing, you're the audience. Readers who bounce off it usually cite the stat blocks and the cat. Best read in long sittings; the pace assumes you're not putting it down.
