from author Robert E. Birnschein 

 A collection of some very short, short stories, but ones that create vivid places and characters in so small an amount of time.

Travel back in time to a night in the Old West, a dark dangerous stranger, and an overconfident youth who hasn't yet fit into a man's boots.

     Welcome to my author page, where I showcase my current & upcoming novels and short stories.

​My self-publishing imprint is Beachabond Books and I enjoy the challenge of writing for a variety of age groups, from adventurous young adult & juvenile fiction, to gripping adult fiction.
