The Welding Quirt

In "Lazy Tom Hooks Up with Skinny", the short novel that opens this new trio, Skinny is a boy of perhaps thirteen who silently invades a camp of slumbering outlaws and routs all but Lazy Tom. And the Sleeper saga continues in "Sleeper Pays a Debt". Sleeper and his bright chestnut stallion Careless are rescued from a flash flood by an outlaw named Bones, who soon needs a favor in return. The title story follows the path of ne'er-do-well Snoozer Mell, who comes home to care for his ailing father but is followed by his past.
