The Cash Laramie and Gideon Miles stories have been appearing around the web in various venues for a while now. Author David Cranmer, in the form of Edward A. Grainger, a pseudonym honoring his grandfather has gathered them together, along with two appearing for the first time in this collection. Cranmer is the editor of the webzine BEAT TO A PULP and the ROUND ONE print anthology of the same name.Cash Laramie and Gideon Miles are deputy U. S. Marshals working together, and occasionally separately, in tracking doen the lawless. Though in the western genre, these tales tackle a number of modern day problems like racism, child abuse, the dispossessed. Laramie is a lawman, but he is known to dispense his own brand of rough justice whenever he feels the law lets folks down.These are fine stories that deserve an audience. Check them out and from what Cranmer has said, more are on the way.
