Overview

Stageaoch Mary is a biographical western dramatisation of the life and time of Mary Fields, Montana doesn't hand out second chances. It dares you to take them. Mary Fields arrives in the Northern Rockies with a body built for work, a temper built for survival, and a past she refuses to explain to anyone who hasn't earned it. The town watches her the way frontier towns watch anything they can't label. A Black woman with steel in her spine, a laugh too loud for polite company, and eyes that don't drop when men try to stare her down. Some call her trouble. Others call her a miracle. Mary calls it Tuesday. When winter clamps its jaws around the mail route, and the men hired to run it start failing, the settlement begins to rot from the edges. Medicine doesn't arrive. Wages don't arrive. News doesn't arrive. Families turn into rumours. Bandits and bullies smell weakness and start circling. Mary steps forward, takes the reins, and makes a promise that sounds impossible in a land that kills the unprepared: the mail will get through. With a stagecoach, a rifle, and a will that refuses to bend, Mary drives into blizzards that erase roads, through terrain that breaks horses, and past men who mistake cruelty for authority. Every run tests her strength, her faith, and her right to exist in a world determined to reduce her to a warning story. Instead, she turns herself into a legend. Stagecoach Mary is a fierce, cinematic historical novel inspired by the extraordinary true story of Mary Fields, a woman who fought for her place on the American frontier and delivered more than letters along the way. She delivered hope, defiance, and a new definition of what courage looks like.

Author Information

Robert G. Pranic is an Australian novelist and longtime IT Solution Architect whose stories blend grit, psychology, and a sharp eye for how power really works. Growing up in Australia during the tail end of the White Australia policy, he experienced racism firsthand and carries that lived understanding into fiction that refuses easy answers and always sides with the human cost behind the headlines.He writes across genres, but he's especially drawn to morally complex thrillers where justice is never tidy and the truth is always expensive. In the Barzani series, Pranic brings that sensibility to modern Melbourne, pairing noir atmosphere with contemporary stakes and a detective who wins by thinking harder, not shouting louder.When he isn't writing, he builds real-world systems for global organisations and studies the patterns that shape behaviour, institutions, and the stories people tell themselves to sleep at night.If you need a tighter version for a smaller character limit, use this: Robert G. Pranic is an Australian author and IT Solution Architect whose fiction blends noir tension, psychological realism, and a fierce interest in truth. Shaped by firsthand experiences of racism growing up in Australia, he writes stories that interrogate power and privilege while keeping readers hooked on the human stakes. The Barzani series brings gritty, modern crime to Melbourne through a detective who wins with patience, precision, and an unshakeable sense of justice.
