I've been posting short stories by the authors whose biographies i've been posting here, so that you can sample their work and decide if you want to read more of their work. Today, i have for you a short story, Pecos the Peeler, by B.M. Bower. This appeared in Tom Watson's Magazine in August 1905, and i think it is representative of her work. Link after the break.
Pulp magazines, authors and their stories. Adventure and Detective pulps.

B.M. Bower - Author biography
Bertha Muzzy Bower (1871-1940), aka B.M. Bower, was the first woman Western author to achieve wide success. She achieved this success under the pseudonym of B.M. Bower, with many fans thinking she was a man. Her first publishers banned her from telling the truth; afraid it might spoil the market for her work. She was named as one of the top 20 authors in a reader's poll in Adventure, but she's all but forgotten today, with a Wikipedia article of less than 10 lines to her name.
