Shelter: A Bee Adkins Short Story

SHELTER

He was sent to hunt a killer. Now, he’s trapped with it.

Fourteen-year-old Bee Adkins is already a legend in the making. Hired to track a mountain lion preying on livestock in the rugged landscape of 1900s New Mexico, he’s armed with his wits, his dogs, and a Winchester rifle. But in the unforgiving desert, nature is the true predator

Shelter is the gripping introductory short story to the Bee Adkins series. This standalone tale launches a biographical novel series exploring the life of a remarkable man caught between the Old West and the modern world.

Set against the unforgiving landscape of the early 1900s American Southwest, Shelter is a story of courage, loyalty, and the thin line between civilization and wilderness. When old grudges threaten to tear apart everything Bee holds dear, he’ll discover that some battles can’t be won with a rifle—and that growing up means learning when not to pull the trigger.

Perfect for readers who love the authentic grit of True Grit and the coming-of-age power of Where the Red Fern Grows.
