Troy Seate

Sin and saddles were rudimentary ingredients in the Wild West, but sometimes, romance on the range bloomed amidst the sagebrush.  This star-crossed love between a saddle-tramp and a songbird is reminiscent of Romeo and Juliet or Running Bear and Little White Dove but with more sensuality and adventure.  Smiley Red finds Katie in a saloon and, after making quick work of her aged keeper, he and she ride to Greasy Bend where they are safe in each other’s arms.  Until a posse shows up, looking for trouble…and Red.<br><br>

Smiley and Katie must face the elements in the Badlands until they can sneak back to Greasy Bend and hatch a plan that will allow them to escape once and for all.  But the question is can they outrun and outsmart the posse?
