pseduonym of a thrilling new author. But he - or she - knows to keep his
friends close... and his secrets closer.

out of the picture and Sister Josephine in the hands of some Mexican bandits.
Her nemesis Lieutenant Carthy is requiring of her medical
ministrations, even though he’d rather die. She gets to put her nursing skills

with the Indians. A mysterious widow aids Josephine in her work.

| He's enjoying it! |
Our nun has struck a deal with the Mexican warlord………..save
his men and he’ll forget the $500 bounty on her head. Too trusting by half,
Josephine has been double-crossed. $500 pays for a lot of food and ammunition.
She’s headed back to the US in irons, until our devious
nursing assistant starts a blood-letting. Sister Thomas Josephine’s life has
just taken a turn for the worse…….My
Lord, My Lord – Why Have Thou Forsaken Me? Ok, she didn’t actually say that, but I’m
sure the sentiment was there.

Well, life just gets more and more complicated for Sr. Josephine, doesn't it, Col? And that's quite a cliffhanger at the end of the story. Glad you enjoyed this entry.

DeleteThe size of the book still holds me back. Even in 12 episodes. Maybe someday.
ReplyDeleteFair enough, I enjoy them in isolation, but you do need the context of what has gone on before.
