Loco or Love
By Tuttle, W. C.
In W. C. Tuttle’s comic Western tale “Loco or Love,” Sheriff Magpie Simpkins and his deputy Ike Harper find their long partnership tested by rivalry, pride, and an unexpected infatuation. Set amid the dusty trails and frontier town of Piperock, the story blends slapstick banter, outlaw trouble, and romantic misadventure with Tuttle’s signature cowboy humor. As robberies unsettle the county and a mysterious newcomer captures both lawmen’s attention, duty and desire collide in a lively tale of mistaken judgment and frontier folly.
