Loaded for Justice
About this ebook
Unlike the damsels in distress that clutter history books, Martha refused to be confined by society's expectations. She possessed a sharp mind, a fierce spirit, and a surprising talent with a six-shooter – a rare combination for a woman in her time. Fueled by ambition and a thirst for knowledge, Martha yearned to carve her own path in a world designed to keep women on the sidelines. However, societal constraints weren't her only hurdles.
After a decade of forced respectability, Randall Pruitt craved the adrenaline rush of robbing stagecoaches. The thrill of the chase, the roar of the shootout, the easy pickings – it all called to him. But his glory days were a fading memory. His once-loyal gang had scattered, leaving Randall a solitary shadow of his former self. Resourceful as ever, he began piecing together a new crew, his resolve fueled by a twisted sense of obligation. "Family takes care of family," he'd mutter. This mantra rang hollow considering his strained relationships with his brother Joseph, nephew Thomas, and Alexander, the son of his deceased best friend.

About the author
Roger Mendoza lives in San Antonio, Texas, the seventh-largest city in the United States. In 2014, he moved back to his birth town of San Antonio from Parker, Colorado, where he had lived for fifteen years. Living on the outskirts of San Antonio, he still enjoys the taste of the rural life that he loves so much and the big city’s conveniences.
He worked most of his life as a software engineer in the defense industry, where he cultivated his passion for computer programming, but he is now retired. Along with writing novels, Roger is also a professional photographer and can often be seen toting his camera, looking for photo opportunities in and around town. He loves to capture nature photography and beautiful scenery.
Family has always been a cornerstone of Roger's life. Born eighth in a family of ten children, he has a deep-rooted fascination with his family history. Over the years, he has painstakingly gathered his parents’ family photographs and documents, cataloging and digitizing them all. He takes pride in keeping the family tree database updated with new family members, cherishing the thousands of family photographs and documents that tell the stories of his relatives.
Roger's inquisitive nature has always led him to ponder the philosophy of life, the intricacies of human behavior, and our place in the grand scheme of things. Despite life's occasional challenges, he remains a firm believer in 'happily ever after endings', a testament to his optimistic worldview that can resonate with many.
He’s always been fascinated with unusual phenomena, the most common of which is the drama of life itself. It still amazes him why so much drama fills the lives of his friends and family. Perhaps it is observing that drama that sparks his imagination and gives his characters life.
