book one: hot lead
Every legend has a beginning. This is his.
1871. Robin Castle was a New York cop. Bigger than most men, slower to speak, and quicker to act.
When a wanted man walks into his home and tears his life apart, Castle abandons the badge and saddles up for a manhunt that will carry him clear across the country.
The killer flees by sea, bound for California. Castle takes the hard road west, alone, on horseback, determined to get there first.
What follows is not justice. It’s vengeance.
Hot Lead is the blistering origin story of Robin Castle. The story of how a lawman became an outlaw.

About Elwood Flynn
I write pulpy western novellas. Stories that grab you by the throat, drag you through the dirt, and leave you in the gutter, out of breath and wanting more.
A working class man of mystery with a love for pulp paperbacks. Having spent several years toiling away on screenplays, almost getting a film made with a legendary director until it all collapsed, I turned to my first love, the pulp novella, for my sanity.
I’ll leave you with this frontier proverb:
“To make a belt, you must first peel a horse.” – Walter Hicks (from the book, Alias Hicks)
