"No need to trouble yourself any futher Mr. Jones," she said. "Allow me to blow the balls off these two low-life sonsobitches."
Squaring away to face the outlaws, dropping her hands to her sides as she did so, she asked, "Which one of you manure eaters wants to be a eunuch first?"
In a single blur, both men went for their guns. Pisol Ann's guns belched fire, turning Billy's crotch into a blood spurting fountain, at the same time, a hole was blown open in the middle of his chest. In the same split second, Jesse'scroth burst crimson as did the middle of his chest.
The four shots boomed with the ear splitting force of a cannon, reverberating across the room. Four shots fired, two men dead, in one heartbeat. The Rider hadn't evenhad the time to draw his Colt. He looked over at Ann. "Well, now I know how you got your name," he said.
"I told you I had a hunch you'd find out pretty soon."

About the Book
After marrying his childhood sweetheart, Virgil John Jordan is pulled into the Civil War as a captain in the Confederate Army. He is a dedicated and brave soldier—until news reaches him that his family, including his new wife, has been murdered by marauding Blue Coats. Rage takes over; as Virgil becomes a murderer, the man he once was disappears.
He becomes “The Rider,” a vengeful, ghostly foe. Justice is decided by his hand, and he kills those he believes deserve to die. After killing four men who were abusing a whore, the Rider survives a terrible blizzard, only to end up in a town called Witchita. With his only companion—his horse, Gabriel—the Rider finds himself in a very strange place.
The “witch” in Witchita refers to Mesmerala, a powerful sorceress who runs things with the power of magic. It’s not magic that breaks through the Rider’s heart of steel, though; it’s a gun-toting honey named Pistol Ann. Rider comes to realize he’s in Witchita for a reason. His bloodlust can serve a purpose, but will he ever find his way home again?
