What the Pines Kept A Blood on the Dogwood prequel... Six rounds live in a cigar box on the mantel, and Jessica Stubbins can tell you the weight of every one of them. She's twenty-one, alone on the old Stubbins place with a herb woman's trade and her Papa's Winchester, when a boy comes up the lane with his back laid open and a debt on his family that no amount of doctoring will touch. His friend died running from a turpentine camp that keeps its books cleaner than its conscience and the camp isn't finished collecting. What Jessica finds when she goes looking for the truth is a ledger, a judge who owns his own mill, and a county that has learned not to ask what forfeit means when a boy writes it in his own blood. Somebody is going to answer for it. The law will not be the one asking. A 45-minute short story set years before Blood on the Dogwood the first time Jessica Stubbins levels a rifle at a debt nobody else would collect on.©2026 Martin Francom (P)2026 Martin Francom
