Here is a second snippet from my steampunk spacewestern romance, Starlander's Myth.
“Now, this is an exceptionally secret procedure, Mr. Galto. Assure me again that we are in a secluded area. I don’t want to have to shoot some miner who stumbles on our little exhibition.”
“Nothing to worry about, Mr. Snurr. The claim over that ridge is Jack Starlander's but he's got a nice vein of cryst on the far side of his land that'll keep him busy for some time. We are unobserved.”
Jack didn’t appreciate Galto knowing so much about his operation but he was a mite pleased Galto was wrong about his whereabouts.
“Starlander? One of the infamous Starlanders?”

Interesting... Curious to learn more now.
ReplyDeleteInfamous Starlanders?! Maybe it's because they join groups without being invited. ;) Looking forward to more!

ReplyDeleteVery nice! Love the space-western feel.
ReplyDeleteLoving the names!
ReplyDeleteAlso, would love to know just why the Starlanders are 'infamous' :-D
:-) Love when characters are talking about themselves as someone else. Always learn something interesting when people don't realize who they're talking to.
