The Adventures of Frankie Callahan: The Contest

About the Book

Set in 1878, the story takes place in a small town in Mexico, near the United States border. It was that time of the year when men from different places filled the town’s cantinas, all of them wanting to prove their prowess with a gun at an annual contest which a wealthy baron kept as a tradition. It was during this time when a dark-haired, olive-skinned, and blue-eyed girl named Frankie was most excited. Unknown to her, this year’s contest would lead her to meet two men that would change her life forever. There’s Billy, a young man who aspired to win the contest, and Johnny, his closest friend. It didn’t take long for Frankie to befriend these two handsome men, and she soon saw them as an opportunity to leave town, pursue her dreams, and search for her father. However, certain people, some even close to her, would stand in her way. Can Frankie surpass these challenges, or is she destined to live out the rest of her life in this small, unchanging town? An unexpected—and the thrilling continuation—awaits in The Adventures of Frankie Callahan.

About the Author

Lynn Robillard is a married woman with two grown children. She is a registered nurse and works twelve hours nights in an ICU at a small community hospital. She has a lifelong love of Westerns and used to watch all the old shows with her father. She fell in love with the image of the old west: the cowboys, the guns, and the horses. Because of that, she wanted to live in that time period. She made up a story about a young girl that lived back then and daydreamed about stories centered around her. The author told her daughter about the stories and her daughter told her to write it down. That is when she started putting it on paper and decided to try and get the stories published.
