The last of our main cast (at least among the Aces) and by no means the least in any sense is the other half of the Ace of Clubs - Benjamin Montgomery. Or just 'Beau' if you like having eyes once you're done talking. Twin to Beatrice, Beau is much larger in height, breadth, and weight. He also makes his sister look restrained when it comes to violence and the infliction of pain. While not necessarily stupid - though he is by no measure intelligent - Beau is the blunt instrument of the Four Aces, thus why he and his sister were made the Aces of Clubs. But where Beatrice at least likes to scheme and delay gratification, Beau prefers to live in the here and now. Fighting, gambling, and killing are his pastimes. And while his sister is better at inflicting non-physical pain, she by no means has a monopoly on it, and he is the reason why John is as he is in the modern era. Beau is, for all intents and purposes, a bastard's bastard. He wields a chopped 10 gauge hammergun and a Bowie knife as big as your forearm and he savors using both of them. He used to keep track of the amount of people he's killed by notching them into his gun's grip, until he ran out of grip. If you have to fight him, pray to someone other than God because He's already forsaken you.


Done by the wonderful with whom I've done work in the past. I'm working with him to get references for all of my characters, as well as hopefully working on a graphic novel/comic adaptation of the novel, too. For now, though, I'd like to introduce the character as well as give a free preview of the novel itself. Once published by Thurston Howl, it has now migrated to Fenris to be republished, so if you're interested in getting a copy, you can find it here: https://fenrispublishing.com/product.php?id=1167.

BUT! THE MANUSCRIPT HASN'T BEEN UPDATED. IF YOU PICK IT UP, LET ME KNOW AND I'LL GIVE YOU A .PDF OF THE UPDATED VERSION!!! (The updates are more style than substance, but still. >.>)

You can also LISTEN ( :D ) to the prologue and first chapter of the novel here, read by Carrazo on the Voice of Dog: https://thevoice.dog/?episode=aces-.....ps-part-1-of-2

The second is also out!: https://thevoice.dog/?episode=aces-.....ps-part-2-of-2
