Pretty Polly

Griswold Bear--a.k.a. Grizzly (or Grisly, depending on who's talking) Bear--a vicious outlaw, enters the town of Wicket with the intention of terrorizing the inhabitants and filling his saddlebags with money and whiskey. However, his plans take a sharp turn into unexpected territory when he meets the Sheriff of Wicket, who offers the marauder a deal.

Praise for "Pretty Polly" in its print edition:
"For outright horsey humor there is Hard Times For The Pecos Kid by Les Pierce and Pretty Polly by Duane Spurlock. Both could have been made into movies with James Garner, they have the same light, hilarious flare to them." -- Ron Fortier, Pulp Fiction Reviews

"Spurlock pulls it off with verve." -- Bill Crider, author of the Sheriff Dan Rhodes series

"Actually a fairly gritty Western yarn with a bit of a twist ending." -- James Reasoner, author of western and crime novels
