Howdy Russell. This is a belated thankyou for your December 2007 review of my novel, THE VENGEANCE TRAIL. I hope you will read some of my other works, especially since, after 24 novels, I've begun to scratch the surface of the storyteller's art.
Oops! I sent the above email to the wrong place. Sorry!
Once again, an excellent review of what is happening on the western scene. A bit frustrating, though, as Comanche Moon looks so good, and I doubt we will ever get it over here in the UK. I wonder whether it will be out on DVD?
