SPIRITWALKER

The Way of the Spirit Book 1

Spiritwalker book cover.“Looks like it’s time for shootin, deputy,” DC said as he pushed Snarf down under the cover of the depression’s rim.

Snarf fumbled Pap’s Pistol off his belt. “What is this place?” he asked.

“A crater. I bet Craney’s been blastin the mountain with dynamite tryin to find his gold.”

Suddenly, the huge missing chunks, stony scars, and twisted tree trunks of the ugly mountain took on a new meaning. They were the desperate work of dynamite. What kind of man had the will, and the power, to ruin an entire mountain?

“They’re gonna come from there,” DC said, pointing at the trees they’d ridden out of. “Stay hidden until they pass. Once their backs’re to us, we blast em when I say. Got it?”

“Got it,” Snarf said, gripping Pap’s Pistol with both hands on account of his sweaty palms. 

Craney’s men came out of the trees just where DC said they would.

Snarf tensed. DC stayed loose. “Not yet…” he whispered.

The trio slowed, looking around for signs of their quarry. But, seeing nothing, they rode past.

“You take the one on the right. I’ll take the other two.”

Snarf took aim. The six enormous barrels of Pap’s Pistol made it seem like he was pointing a cannon at the back of the distant man.

“When I say…”

Snarf licked his lips. His pepperbox hovered over his target—target!—it was a person! He went cold all over.

“Now!”

DC’s gun boomed twice. The leader fell. His horse ran off. The man on the left turned in his saddle to see where the shots had come from. He was unhurt. DC fired twice more. His first went wide. His second took the man in the meat of his leg. The man clamped a hand down on the wound and drew a bead on DC. They fired at the same time, but the sheriff’s aim was truer. The man dropped dead. His horse stood there wondering what had happened.

But the man on the right, the one Snarf was supposed to shoot, was charging at them. He had the reins in his teeth and a pistol in each hand.

“Deputy!” DC had time to yell, but Snarf was frozen. He hadn’t fired a single shot, and DC only had a single shot left.

Bullets chipped at the depression’s rim.

“Shoot him!” DC cried.

But the man was close now. He was bigger than the barrel of Snarf’s gun and riding at him like a demon.

DC stood up. The oncoming outlaw opened up on him with both barrels, but DC had presented his flank, a slim target. He raised his pistol and fired…

An old west story for today's reader

From the first page to the end, the fast pace and strong characters in Spirit Walker captured me. Initially, my heart broke for Snarf, a boy abandoned by his parents and raised in his uncle’s saloon. His bravado will cut through any thick-skinned reader. But when a mysterious Indian shows up in town with a dead body, the intrigue deepens. I had to find out what happened and where the story would land. Thank you, LM Helm, for the witty writing. The humor and chuckles intertwined with danger and a hair-raising plot create a page-turner. It’s refreshing to read a strong book. This book entertains and quietly challenges the heart. Confession: I’ve never been interested in the western genre, but I look forward to reading Helms’ sequel. - Gretchen Carlson

"What do you believe in?"

“It doesn’t matter what I believe.” “What you believe is all that matters.” There are books that you read and enjoy, but upon finishing, move on, looking for the next adventure. And then there are books that, once you turn that last page, settle into your minds and stay awhile. The story and it’s characters so impactful that you continue to ponder it for a time to come. Spiritwalker was one of those books for me. Full of interesting characters and good western fun, this book was an entertaining ride! And yet, there is a deeper and more beautiful story that unfolds in the midst of such fun. A story that, if truly considered, might just leave you changed... I encourage you - pick up a copy, find a nice comfy chair, and join Snarf in answering this question - What do you believe in? L.M. Helm this book did not disappoint!
