TWO OF A KIND is a collection of ten Western short stories featuring the outlaw Wesley Quaid, the assassin Sabrina and Texas Ranger Jud Nelson. It contains a variety of stories, including the very first Wesley Quaid story, "Pack of Wolves." Most of the stories are new works and a couple were originally published in BEAT to a PULP and FIRES ON THE PLAINS e-zines. There are themes of bullying, racism and disability.
Part 1 of the collection contains some older stories and Part 2 advances the Wesley Quaid and Sabrina story line after the events in the novella, OUTLAW.
Ranger Jud Nelson appears in the stories, "Vengeance Trail", "Gone But Not Forgotten," and "One Riot, One Ranger." The mysterious assassin Sabrina reveals some of her background in "Kill the Envious Moon." Of course, the outlaw Wesley Quaid has several adventures of his own.
