Western Novel

Oscar Stone is a hangman.
Everything he does, he does impeccably. He is more bloodless

versed in its traditions over the centuries. For more than a
quarter of a century he has worked to create a reputation as
a man peerless in his craft: the master executioner. He is also
utterly alone with his craft. Suddenly, one day, on a single
piece of knowledge, Oscar comes to a moment of devastating truth
and for the first time knows himself. |

BILLY GASHADE: AN
AMERICAN EPIC
Forge Books
. April 1997
hardcover ISBN 031285997X . paperback ISBN 0812549155
Billy Gashade is a wandering
piano player who crosses paths with the notorious, the legendary,
the unheralded. Billys song is lyrical and at times elegiac,
but never sentimental. And his anchoring refrain remains true
to this day: that most folks were neither as bad nor as good
as they seemed, and they did the best they could with what they
had. From the ravages of the Civil War to the early innovations
of the twentieth century, the piano player who came to be known
as Billy Gashade sang for his supper in saloons and bawdy houses
from New York to New Mexico.
