FIFTH PLACE AMERICAN GEMS NOVEL CONTEST. Texas 1875. Luke Sprague is in luck, he may have drawn his last wanted poster of Chinamen, Mexican banditos, and drunken Irish. He's been called to Washington DC to design the 1876 July 4th centenary silver dollar. But broke and running from two brothers bent on killing him Luke has to make a deal with a wanted black cook named Abe Brown, to help him get there. But soon Abe, troubled by bad luck and a heart-pounding vision, is questioning is it worth losing his mind, life, and possibly even soul, traveling with a man he despises, through a land where some are still fighting the Civil War.... Told to a writer by an old Abe. The screenplay for Fastest Draw was recommended for the shortlist of the Dublin International film festival. A joy to read, funny, original, vivid in its character, story and its sense of place and time. DIFF
