Select Slate of Short Stories is a gripping collection of Western-themed tales set in a rugged, post-Civil War frontier where lawmen, outlaws, and honor collide. Anchored by the lead story “Gunfire,” Tom Egan introduces readers to a fiercely loyal sheriff and a family torn apart by betrayal, violence, and the desperate search for justice.
This vivid, character-driven epic explores themes of loyalty, redemption, frontier justice, and the enduring ties of blood and land. With colorful characters like the hardened Sheriff Tom, the tragic antihero Billy, and the battle-worn medic Eli, Egan masterfully blends rich historical detail, intense action, and human vulnerability.
A modern Western in the classic sense, this book is a cinematic journey through gunfights, family feuds, and the harsh beauty of untamed landscapes. Fans of Louis L’Amour, Elmore Leonard, or Taylor Sheridan-style storytelling will find much to admire.
