Slocum Westerns

Main character

John Slocum is among the toughest of gunfighters. He is a mostly decent man who will do whatever it takes to survive life in the Western Frontier. A Confederate soldier who lost his ancestral home to carpetbaggers after the Civil War, Slocum left the South, never to return.

He has been a soldier, slave, stagecoach driver, shotgun guard, bank robber, lawman, pioneer, cowboy, shepherd, poor man, rich man, gambler, and drifter. His adventures occur in most of the American West.

Target demographic

The books are claimed to be adult oriented, due to the presence of three explicitly described sex scenes in each of the numerous books; they were first published by Playboy Press.
