TRAIL BLAZERS – E.C. Tubb
THROWBACK THURSDAY: REVIEWING A REISSUE It’s not easy to find westerns these days, with sci-fi/fantasy and mysteries being more popular than ever, so I am thrilled that there are a few publishers releasing western titles, even if some of them are reissues (as is the case here). Although I am slightly familiar with author E. Continue reading

SHOOTOUT AT ROULEMENT RIDGE – Einer Mercier
As the owner of Kindle and being an avid reader, I subscribe to a number of daily and weekly newsletters that inform me of free and reduced-priced books. Shootout at Roulement Ridge is a book that I would have ‘purchased’ for free. But it’s easy to see what might have attracted me to the book – Continue reading

THE BANK ROBBER – Giles Tippette
THROWBACK THURSDAY: REVIEWING A REISSUE I love the American Southwest and for escapism fiction, I must confess that I have a sort of closet interest in reading what is popularly termed ‘westerns.’ But I also have to admit that I haven’t read a wide variety of authors and I’m not particularly well-versed in who’s who Continue reading

ONE NIGHT IN SIXES – Arianne “Tex” Thompson
I really wanted to read this book. I had downloaded an electronic copy through Netgalley, but the Kindle it was on died.

THE RELUCTANT GUN HAND – Paul Lederer
THROWBACK THURSDAY: REVIEWING A REISSUE I have a soft spot for westerns, classic westerns, though I haven’t read a great many of them. In part it comes from my enjoyment of the desert countryside of the American Southwest and ares like the Badlands of South Dakota. I have not read Paul Lederer (or ‘Logan Winters’ Continue reading

This coffee-table styled book is rich with history, excitement, and chock-full of enough photos to please any historian or gun-lover. What is it about the outlaw, the criminal, that we are intrigued by the weapons that they favored?

FAR AS THE EYE CAN SEE – Robert Bausch
I had no idea what I was getting myself into when I requested an ARC of this book but what I found was an unlikely protagonist in Bobby Hale. Hale is a Civil War veteran and deserter and veteran and deserter. He is a man who doesn’t know what he wants and follows his gut, Continue reading

PEACEMAKER – Marianne de Pierres
If you’re a sci-fi/fantasy enthusiast, how often have you read a book and, whether or not you liked the story-telling, felt like it was really nothing but a rehash of an already over-used scenario? Move over stale f/sf themes; enter: Peacemaker, a wholly original and thrilling fantasy adventure. Set in the future, when urban sprawl Continue reading

THE LONE RANGER OMNIBUS VOL 1

I’m actually a bit of a Western literature geek. I’m not entirely sure why… but if I want some simple escapism, something fun, adenturous, but that doesn’t take a lot of thought or energy on my part, a western novel is where I might look. And of course there’s The Lone Ranger … kind of Continue reading
