Surprise! Wanted: Hired gun is releasing this Saturday!
Meet Posey… our star in the Silverpines book- Wanted: Hired Gun coming this weekend! <3
Posey was also a modern girl, indulging in a cigarette here and there. She wanted to be something special, someone that was recognized, and everyone knew. Putting on a charade, she’d strutted into the bar and played faro, having a drink, and relishing the thought of acting like the infamous Pearl Hart… but all of that landed her in more trouble. People said she was loose and talked about her on the sly. It wasn’t vivacious or exciting – it was more of a headache and she was starting to fear for her safety being alone all of the time. When she heard several women had sent off to the Groom’s Gazette, Posey realized that this was a perfect opportunity to cross off a few things on her ‘to do’ list.
A husband could save her good name, be strong, and help her build the stage. If he was skilled with a gun – he could be a sharpshooter, a hired gun, for her show. Gun shows were all the rage right now and vaudeville posters had been plastered all over town in Chicago. Plus, she didn’t want to admit that she was frightened of being alone if something happened again. The thought of going through the trauma when you didn’t know anyone was hard enough, but now that she’d been here a few months – she had friends and recognized people. She’d been rocked to her core, as well as many others, by the tragedy. A husband, a friend, and coworker could be a shoulder to rely on in a time of need – something she’d never realized she needed before. Sitting there daydreaming, Posey realized that it must be getting late and her mail order groom would be arriving in town soon. Glancing up, she heard the train whistle blow and jumped to her feet. It must be later than she thought because that was the signal for an upcoming departure. Opening the door to her soon-to-be theater, Posey didn’t bother with changing clothing and getting out of the costume…rather, she decided to greet her new husband in full regalia.
Who else better to be, than Marie Antoinette?
