Book excerpt: I first became aware of the town of Two Guns, Arizona in the summer of 2001 while on the tail end of a cross-country road trip. Driving through Arizona with the lovely lady who would later become my wife, we motored along the remains of Route 66, heading for home in California, when she said "that would make a great title for a book." I followed her gaze to a battered road sign, complete with a full patina of desert dust and the requisite bullet holes, and it read "Two Guns" and below it in slightly smaller white lettering "1 mile." I immediately thought of a couple of plot lines for which the title would be perfect, but I didn't think I could get a whole book out of it. Instead, I tried a few times over the years to put it in as the title of a short story, but kept on changing it for the final draft. I didn't want to use it up. Then, after researching the history of Two Guns, I realized that this title contained not just one story, but several. As has been true so many times throughout our nearly 20 years of marriage thus far, she was absolutely right the first time: it had to be a book. Two Guns, 1 Mile is a collection of original short fiction and historical fiction. The titles "Dual," "Sunset (fade to black)," "Extra Terrestrials," and "Two Guns, One Smile" contain only original fictional characters and fictional events. Any resemblance to actual events or persons, living or dead, is entirely coincidental. Other stories, including "Sharp," and "Smoke" contain only original fictional characters, but also include details from real events. For the purpose of the stories, I condensed some of the historical events, omitting details that were not relevant to the plot, but without altering the reported facts. The remaining stories in this collection, including "One Last Round," "The Whore War," "Trading Post," and "Upon the Rock of Our Redeemer" are fictionalized accountings of reported events. In "One Last Round," and "The Whore War," the events play out as described by reported facts, with the exception that Bill Duckin was not reported to have been in Clabberfoot Annie's brothel on the night in question. However, as their times in Canyon Diablo are reported to have overlapped, his presence there, and in the capacity as I described it, would not have been out of the question or out of character for the man. As for "Trading Post" and "Upon the Rock of Our Redeemer," the characters of Earle Cundiff and Adolph Cannon were respectively reported to be the owner of the Canyon Lodge (Two Guns) Trading Post, and a prospector of meteoric diamonds. Their roles within these works are entirely fictional, though my descriptions of them do abide by the generally known facts of their lives. Cundiff was shot and killed by Harry E. (Indian) Miller on March 3, 1926, and Cannon was reported to wander the desert between Winslow and Flagstaff over a period of several decades collecting diamonds that had supposedly been deposited there by the impact at what is now known as Meteor Crater. However, the dialogue and actions of these characters in their stories have no factual basis.Whenever possible, I have tried to keep to the facts of the historical events exactly as they have been reported in multiple sources. However, the stories contained in this book are works of fiction and are meant only to entertain. I hope you enjoy reading them as much as I enjoyed writing them.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Silent Guns of Two Octobers uses new as well as previously under-appreciated documentary evidence to link the Cuban Missile Crisis to the Checkpoint Charlie tank standoff to achieve the impossible—craft a new, thoughtful, original analysis of a political showdown everyone thought they knew everything about. Ultimately the book concludes that much of the Cold War rhetoric the leaders employed was mere posturing; in reality neither had any intention of starting a nuclear war. Theodore Voorhees reexamines Khrushchev’s and Kennedy’s leadership, decision, and rhetoric in light of the new documentary evidence available. Voorhees examines the impact of John F. Kennedy's domestic political concerns about his upcoming first midterm elections on his handling of the Cuban Missile Crisis through his use of back-channel dealings with Khrushchev during the lead-up to the crisis and in the closing days when the two leaders managed to reach a settlement.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Born in Italy and raised in Brooklyn, Vincenzo Capone left home when he was a teenager. He traveled with a wild-west show and fought in Europe during the Great War where he earned a medal for sharp-shooting. Upon his return, he settled in Nebraska where he went by the name Richard Hart. He married, had children, and worked closely with the local Indian communities. He dressed like the type of cowboy he had seen in silent movies, rode a horse, and wielded two six-shooters at his side, which earned him the name "Two Gun" Hart. When the Volstead Act made alcohol production illegal, Richard joined the ranks of law enforcement and became one of the most successful Prohibition officers in the country. He chased down criminals, busted alcohol stills, and protected the Indian reservations he served, all under an assumed name. But his past caught up with him when his younger brother, Al Capone, became one of the most infamous criminals in the country. They were two siblings on opposite sides of the law, both ambitious and skillful, and both of the same family.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The armies of the Third Reich were a formidable foe for the Allied forces – largely thanks to the effectiveness of their equipment and weaponry. In this first-class book, renowned firearms expert John Walter examines the full range of guns used from the commercially successful Walter PP and PPK, to the double-action, personal defence pistols Mauser HSc and Sauer M38. Walter also considers the value of weapons that were captured and then used, by the Wehrmacht and the police. Thoroughly researched and illustrated with fascinating examples, this comprehensive reference book covers all significant aspects of design and employment, including data for each weapon on length, weight, barrel, magazine and muzzle velocity. This is an indispensable resource on a compelling subject.
