"There is a distinct lack of Westerns to read. It seems to be a a genre overshadowed by, Sci-fi, fantasy etc. Yet for me I've always found it a fascinating and fun genre to read and write about.
So keep up the good work.
I find your writing very easy to follow, and you bring the old West to life with your words.
