“Bartender, whiskey, and a jug of water, if you don’t mind.”Wynonna Belle’s lips were parched after a long day trundling through sage brush and dusty trail on her way south toward Fort Apache, Arizona. Her arrival in the sleepy little town of Holbrook bade well for resting her horses and her achy bones. Tired and hungry, Wynonna had initially sought out the hotel saloon hoping for a hot meal, a drink of rye, and a comfy bed for the night. However, she quickly doubted her decision of a drink first when the ornery herd of cattlemen...
Outstanding reviews
Thank you, Laurel.Great comments. I've noted your suggested correction and made it so.Thanks for taking the time to read and comment. So glad you liked it.
I do like Wynonna. With this week's prompts you could write a whole serious series on her.
Thanks, Mary. I totally agree. Wynonna will return soon.
Thanks, Mary. I totally agree. Wynonna will return soon.
Thanks, Amanda.I like that Wynonna will never be a victim and that she stands up for what is right. Plus, has the skills to defend her actions. This is the sixth installment of Wynonna and I promise there will be more to come.Such wonderful feedback. Thank you.
Wow — Wynonna is a great character, and her blunt but witty dressing down of the rabble and the Rev was priceless. And on top, a great examination of social mores and biblical distortion and rationalization. Awesome!

Hi Chris:Thank you for writing such a fascinating tale. I'd love to read more about her future ramblings.

Really enjoyed this Chris. Great pacing, just when I thought it was going to kick with Tennessee she refuses with humour and earns her place amongst the roughens. Great word choice too, really set the western vibe. Educational and with somewhat of modern message too. And I am delighted that this is Wynonnas' sixth tale, now I've some catching up to do!
Kevin,Thanks for the great feedback. I like to input a little knowledge with my stories. I think it adds authenticity. Wynonna is my favourite character to portray, so she'll be riding again, soon.So glad you liked it.
Wynonna returns! As expected, this is a rip roarin' tale, completely and irrevocably Wynonna. I'm glad she still has the acid tongue, even throwing out the odd "fuck." I like her progression. It's so genuine and intriguing.Tennessee is a hoot! I love this character, and I'd love to know more about him. I can see him popping up from time to time in your tales, Chris. He's a keeper - just not for Wynonna! LOLTwo scenes, one building, and yet you managed to write a terrific tale. Nicely done, my friend. Nicely done indeed.Cheers, mate!

Chris, I really liked this story! Well executed introduction of the Berdache! I'm also happy to see that Wynonna has other tales to explore! I'll be checking in with those as well! Excited to read more!

Scott,Thanks for the great feedback. I had planned a different storyline, but when I discovered the Berdache fact, I knew that it needed to be written. It's such a fascinating topic for that period. Also, having a Western dialogue reference book has helped me a great deal in using the vernacular.So glad you liked it.

This was very interesting. I enjoyed the link with your previous stories. Wynonna is the kind of character I enjoy reading about. Her sass and spit is so good.Thanks for sharing
Thanks, Michelle. Wynonna is definitely my favourite character to write about. I wouldn't want to get on her bad side.
