I don't care what anybody else says-- Living in the old west HAD to be a blast. Just looking at Cash Laramie's resume confirms that.

Like all the art too.

AC, I can't imagine a more exciting time than the mythological west. Maybe I would add Rome close on the list but few other periods.

Chad, Bill Ervin did a fabulous job with Cash and Miles and then Denise added some sharp images. Of course, John Hornor Jacobs did us all proud with the top cover art.

It's nice to meet him. I think there's a bit of you in there too. Great drawing.

Looking forward to getting a copy of the ebook.

Quick question. Is Cash part Indian? I've been taking him for a half-breed.

Chris Rhatigan said...

Fantastic illustration. I also like that he has a catchphrase!

Leah J. Utas said...

Glad to make his acquaintance. He sounds like my kind of marshal.

David Cranmer said...

Well... not much. Cash goes to extremes I wouldn't be comfortable with. But thanks, David. I appreciate the support.

Ron, He was reared by Native Americans after his folks were killed. The story called "The Origin of the White Deer" is on the way. But no he is not American Indian.

Chris, Every good hero needs one, right?

That he is, Leah.

At 99 cents, Kindle readers can't go wrong. Just the saving on skipping from website to website covers the price! I also hope the stories, and Chris Holm's foreword, will encourage a whole new audience to explore the Western genre further.
