Henry Champion is known across the frontier as Patch?a tall, lean gunfighter dressed in black, with a pearl-handled Colt at his side and a patch over his right eye.
When a town is overrun by hooligans, crooked gamblers, and men who think the law is weak, Patch rides in on his chestnut stallion and offers one simple deal: five hundred dollars to clean up the streets.
His draw is said to be faster than a rattlesnake strike. His past is a mystery. And when the job is done, he never stays long enough to wear the sheriff's badge.
But in a town where fear has ruled for too long, Patch may face the one fight that even a legend cannot walk away from.

Harlan Creed writes hard, clean Westerns rooted in grit, consequence, and quiet resolve. His stories favor fists over speeches, choices over chance, and men who stay just long enough to set things right before riding on.
Drawing inspiration from classic pulp Westerns and mid-century paperbacks, Creed's work focuses on small towns under pressure, moral crossroads, and the cost of standing your ground when walking away would be easier. His prose is spare, direct, and grounded in the dust and sweat of the Old West?where violence is never glamorous and courage rarely announces itself.
