Superhero and World War II Veteran Sarah Castile in Sure Shot in Las Capas
“When you’re washing the dinner dishes, you’re not expecting an explosion. Unless you’re me, in which case you’re more surprised to discover said explosion wasn’t directed at you.”
Sarah Castile, part of the Cobalt City Castile family that takes up the mantle of The Huntsman, is a superhero mostly by dint of having gotten out from under her father’s thumb. During World War II, she joined the Army Nurse Corps in Europe, thousands of miles from her hometown. While there, she took on the mantle of The Huntsman, an occurrence her father would have never allowed if she was in the U.S. In the Castile family, it is the men of the line who wear the mantle. But Sarah saw a need for her superheroics in Europe, so she leapt on the opportunity.
After her return to the U.S., she put the mantle aside most of the time or kept her activities secret from her father. But ultimately, she made her way to the opposite coast and settled in Las Capas, where she could work as a private investigator and continue her superheroics when needed. And that’s where we find her in Sure Shot in Las Capas: The Case of the Absent Star.
I love writing Sarah Castile, as she’s a quick thinking, skilled archer, markswoman, and investigator. I’ve got more stories planned for her, though I haven’t gotten to them yet. But someday!
