The wild young cowboy, Texas Red, falls in love with the beautiful Faleena. When she flirts with another the guns start shooting. Based on the Marty Robbins trilogy of songs: El Paso, Faleena & El Paso City. Shortly I will post the sequel, "El Paso City."

The lovely woman sitting next to Jack on the plane shocked him when she told him her name was Felina. He was intrigued with the mystery presented by the proposition that maybe Faleena didn't die in the shootout behind Rosa's Cantina. Please read "El Paso - Jake Rivers" first.

He was her man - most of the time. A bit of humor on a lazy day.
