The Billy the Kid Chronicles — Michael Friedman

Winter has settled in around the town of Jackson, Wyoming. The snow is deep, the temperatures are low, and Billy Fix-It, his wife Genna and his daughter Jade are warm and cozy with their new identities and idyllic life, the past far behind them. Or is it? It begins with slaughtered cattle on the ranch where Billy works, followed by the ranch foreman being shot and a death threat to Billy's family. Someone is not happy with Billy the Kid, and Billy is about to learn a very valuable lesson: You never completely bury the past. Breathing Fire On A Cold Winter's Day is the quintessential Billy the Kid novella, filled with harsh retribution and a harsher truth: Screw with Billy and you are playing with fire. This is the fifth in the Billy the Kid series. William D. Holland is currently taking a break from this series to work on his next full-length novel, Shadows Over A Hangman's Noose.
