Pete “Buck” Sheridan

I called my local neighbor, Andrea Maxwell, a member of the Larimer County Sheriff’s Department, and who is an avid […]
So It Begins
Thank God it’s Friday. Today I have to do a lot of things. I’ve already taken care of the most important task of the day. If you remember the end of TWA, the battle of Casa Claire, that is the stealthy silhouette of a lethal Claire waiting for an unsuspecting mercenary. Breakfast awaits. They are […]
