Created by Jim Beaver
Rick made his debut in Blood Show (2024), a 13,000 novelette, that has him investigating the death of a fellow actor. It’s all rendered in first person cowboy from Rick’s point of view, with a lot of dropped g’s and plenty of range-riding palaver: ain’ts, skedaddles and the like abound.
Depends of your taste for sustained dialect, but knowing Jim, it ought a be fun.
I reckon.
ABOUT THE AUTHOR
Actor and writer Jim Beaver was born in Laramie, Wyoming, the son of a preacher man (yes, he was), and raised in and around the Dallas suburbs. Following high school and a year of college, he joined the Marines and served as a radioman in Vietnam, before attending Oklahoma Christian College, where he first became interested in acting. If you love the stuff on this site, you’ll probably recognize author/actor Jim Beaver. He’s been in a ton of crime-related television and film roles, probably most notably in Deadwood, Supernatural and Justified, and served as biographical consultant on George Reeves (he’s a fan) for the semi-biopic private eye flick Hollywoodland (2006).
