Here's a free ebook short story available on Kobo. Since it was so short, I included the first chapters of the Witches of Galdorheim series (Bad Spelling, Midnight Oil, and Scotch Broom). Since it's a promo deal, I had to make it free and I did. http://store.kobobooks.com/en-US/ebook/spellslinger
Excerpt:
Rune looked left and added a stairway
going up to nowhere. He plunked a piano with a mustached player under
the steps. A tinny version of Buffalo Gals overlaid the background
chatter. Glancing at the bar, he added a barkeep with a white apron
polishing glasses. On the customer side of the bar, he conjured a few
cowboys hefting mugs of beer. Looking to his right, he set up a poker
table with more cowboys. One player was garbed in a black suit, black
hat, black tie, black hair, a black cigar (unlit), and a black
pencil-thin mustache. The villain.
Taking a step, Rune paused, and then
snapped his fingers. “Right. The saloon gal.” She appeared
standing next to the villain with her arm draped over his shoulders.
Nodding with satisfaction, Rune clanked toward the poker table. He
had to get the action going pretty soon or he’d run out of play
time.
“Black Bart,” Rune said with a
throaty growl, “I told ya to stay outta my town. Now I’m gonna
have ta bring ya in.”
Black Bart jumped to his feet and
pulled a derringer from his waistcoat. Rune liked the brocade vest
and quickly added a watch chain. Black Bart obligingly stood still
waiting for Rune to complete Bart’s stylish outfit.
Rune drew his own gun from its holster.
“Don’t make this any harder than it has ta be, Bart.”
“You’ll never take me alive,
Sheriff Rune!” Bart pulled the dance hall girl in front of him as a
shield. The girl shrieked and grasped the arm encircling her neck.
