About the Book

The Biggest Gun in the West is one of the greatest westerns ever written. It's a rip snortin', plain talkin', wahooin' wild west tale about a wide open, howlin', minin' boom town by the name of Julian, in 1899, a real small town, still alive and well in Southern California.

Sam Tolliver, 7 feet 3 inches in his stocking feet, Tall for short, the biggest man in the west, rode into Julian where he met Big Mama, Berverly Rose Wigglesworth (6 feet 4 inches in her stocking feet, the biggest woman in the west), the madam of the biggest and best whorehouse in Julian. Tall also meets Dirty Danny Dunston, 6 feet 4 inches in his stocking feet, and 300 pounds of mean muscle spoilin' for a fight with anyone or anything, anytime, anywhere! And the trouble starts.

The Biggest Gun in the West is not about shoot outs, it's about love outs, that is, sex outs, and may the best man win!

Big Mama has put up one thousand bucks to the man who's the best lover in Julian, one hundred bucks a throw, which is more money than the cowpokes and miners see in a year of hard work so Big Mama isn't too busy, in fact, she isn't busy at all until Tall comes to town. He's the biggest man Big Mama has ever seen; and Big Mama is the biggest woman Tall has ever seen, and, he has the scratch to take Big Mama on and try for that one thousand bucks that's just waitin' for the right man to come and take it! But, big Dirty Danny has already made love to Big Mama, which makes him the best lover in town. He comes to town to make a try at that one thousand bucks, which he figures he's already won since he has proved to Big Mama what he can do (which was a whole lot!). The sad part is, to Dirty Danny, he ain't got the scratch and he can't get it, so Big Mama (she's anxious for some fun) and her girls and some cowpokes secretly put up the money for Dirty Danny so big Tall Tolliver and big Dirty Danny can have a love out to see which one of them can win the one thousand smackeroos from Big Mama! In the meantime, Tall, a gunsmith and seller of guns, puts on a gun show in Big Mama's backyard, where he and the men in town have a shoot out and fast draw contest for prizes. Tall and Dirty Danny win the shoot out and fast draw contest: Tall's a little faster with his greased lightening draw, but Dirty is a better shot. The crowd in Julian love the show Tall puts on, it's like a circus. Dirty can't get the hundred bucks so he gambles with Tall for the pistol he won and his horse, which he loses. He starts a fight with Tall, which Tall wins after a long, bloody no holds barred fight behind Big Mama' whorehouse. Both men are beat to a pulp, which puts an end to the love out until they can recover from their wounds a few days later. Dirty gets the money as noted above and the love out is on. The town watches with baited breath and fast beating hearts, all of the men wishing they were going to make love to Big Mama and win that one thousand bucks!!! Wahoo!!! A lot of the women wish that they were Big Mama so they too could have a love out. Wahoo!!!


About the Author

Robert James Warner was born and raised in Long Beach, California. He went to the local schools. He was drafted in to the Navy on March 9, 1944, during the World War II as soon as he finished his last semester in High School. He was discharged from the Navy on June 16, 1946.

Mr. Warner went back to school at Long Beach City College, on the G.I. Bill, taking Mechanical Engineering before he switched to journalism. After about a year and a half at City College, he quit.

Mr. Warner had always been interested in writing, but he had huge handicaps to overcome: he couldn't spell (he still can't); and grammar was then and is now a mystery to him.

Mr. Warner first began to write when he was about twenty.

During the next few years, he wrote some songs, poetry, and short stories, but his output was quite low.

From 1947, after Mr. Warner left City College, to 1950, he had a number of different inconsequential jobs--the longest, at Douglas Aircraft in Long Beach where he worked in the blueprint department for eight months until he quit and loafed awhile.

In 1950, he enlisted in the Active Naval Reserve as a Weekend Warrior, so that he could learn seamanship and get paid doing it. He has had a life long love affair with boats (building his own) and fishing.

About three months later, the Korean War started and Mr. Warner was called back to active duty in the Navy Aircorp for a year. He was discharged in August 1951, serving on three aircraft carriers, operating off of Korea in the China Sea, bombing and strafing the communists!

After Korea, Mr. Warner went back to City College for awhile, then got a job on a freighter as a deckhand. He then made two trips to the Hawaiian Islands, about thirty days round trip, hauling bulk sugar for C&H Sugar in Crocket California on the Sacramento River.

Leaving the ship in Crocket, he went to Santa Rosa, California, where he washed dishes in a few restaurants and got a poem published in the local newspaper--a big day in his life.

Next, he went to Yosemite and washed some more dishes before going home.

Mr. Warner has cleaned chicken dung from under the pens; he owned and operated his own auto wrecking yard; owned his own 2nd Store; was half owner of a Yacht Landing; speculated in Real Estate; and worked at some other odd jobs, going to work for the Long Beach Fire Department in 1953 for the next twenty-six years, retiring in October, 1979.

Mr. Warner got married in 1961, had his son in 1963, and got divorced in 1973.

In 1974, Mr. Warner and his son, Jeff, drove to Alaska during the summer. On his return, Mr. Warner wrote his first novel.

Since 1974, Mr. Warner has written 31 novels, about 125 short stories, 2 Civil War history books, and 2 poetry collections.
