THE BLACK HATS
Outhouse Killers, Book Four

by Victor Labonte-Smith

They've been on the move for a year now.  What started as two friends, Arm and Henri on the run and wanted for murder, has grown into a caravan of fourteen travelers including women, children, a doctor and a teacher.  They live by their own rules.  They look out for one another, make decisions together as one, and everything they have is shared amongst the group.  But how long can the constant drifting continue before they must find somewhere to settle?  Or before someone, law or outlaw finally gets the best of them.

After coming to the aid of miners trapped down a caved in tunnel, the caravan heads north for an overdue return to their homeland.  However, crossing the border is not as simple as it once was.  The trail into Canada is heavily guarded and any who pass are expected to pay a fee.  Refusal to pay or turn back will result in a deadly confrontation with The Black Hats.

In the midst of conflict, gunfire and an uncertain future, it is Arm's turn to find love.  Only for him, things get a bit more complicated.

Episode 1: The New Junior Ranger

by Larry C. York

Sixteen year old Sylvester Denny comes from one of the wealthiest families in America, brought up with every privilege a boy could want.  The last thing he wants is to trade the comforts of his private school in New York for the Junior Ranger Academy in remote Texas.  But when your grandfather is Sylvester Malcolm Denny the first and he makes a request, you go along with it.
