Who or What is Lance Sidesaddle?
Lance Sidesaddle is an original story character invented by Lee Baldwin in 2004.
Lance is drawn from the genre of film noir private detectives, except that he is caught in a time warp. He lives outside of town, in a single-wide nestled among massive boulders. His office is located in a run-down hotel overlooking Prescott’s Whiskey Row, right across from Courthouse Plaza. You won’t find his office there today, because Lance occupies the hazy boundary between today and yesteryear. The hotel where his official digs once were has been modernized into a suite of offices.
But his bootheels and single spur still echo there.
Lance is the eternal bungler, the unconscious jester, a man of good heart who never manages to get things quite right. Yet he always prevails in solving crimes, for Lance is an innocent on whom fortune smiles, however Quixotic and misdirected his quest.
