GUN FEUD – A. A. Glynn

WESTERN WEEK While I enjoy reading westerns I can’t say that I have read a wide range of authors in the genre. A. A. Glynn is a new name to me and so it was fun to go into this book not knowing what sort of story and characters Glynn would bring. Gun Feud is a… Continue reading

CHRISTMAS IN THE LONE STAR STATE – Jason Manning

WESTERN WEEK I’ve been on a bit of a western fiction kick lately (note that this is “western review week”). As I’ve mentioned in other reviews, it’s often difficult to find new western fiction, so it was especially pleasing to come across, and be granted ARC access to Christmas in the Lone Star State by… Continue reading

THE PREACHER – Ted Thackrey, Jr.

THROWBACK THURSDAY: REVIEWING A REISSUE This is another book that is in my Kindle and I have absolutely no idea where it came from. None of the usual places where I get my Advanced Reader Copies of books has this title. I suspect it came straight from the publisher, but I just have no memory… Continue reading

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. Then I saw that there was a giveaway for the book on Goodreads and I put in my request and received a copy (nicely autographed) in the mail. As someone who enjoys both… Continue reading

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? Is it simply that they made a name for themselves, using weapons and so those weapons identify… Continue reading

FAR AS THE EYE CAN SEE – Robert Bausch

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
