Captain William Carter, Texas Ranger, first saw publication in the form of Goblins in the Marketplace, in the Raconteur Press anthology, Goblin Market. The title of both were self-explanatory, but the goblins were not the star of my story. The stars were William and the elegant faery lady who he’d come to find. The goblins have returned in one other published story. William has been published by Raconteur Press in four other stories, and will soon be published by Three Ravens Publishing. And the faery lady named Joanna has been in two other Raconteur Press stories, and will be in the upcoming Three Ravens Publishing anthology. And of course, they are all recurring characters in many of the stories I have written that have not yet been published and are waiting for the right place. Goblins in the Marketplace is the first story they were all in that was published, so it is the first one that all of you out there have a chance to read. That makes it a first step into the world of Captain William Carter, hunter of otherworldly creatures and threats to mankind.

You can read it in the Raconteur Press anthology Goblin Market, or you can read it on my Jackofharts substack. The first bit is free, or you can pay a small monthly fee to read all of the stories I have and will publish on the Jackofharts substack. One story every two weeks is the mission I embarked on, and I intend to keep that going. I hope you enjoy the read.
