The Little Book That Did

Back in January 2012 when we released MANHUNTER'S MOUNTAIN I had no plans to offer any of the Cash Laramie novels as print books. Ebooks were cresting on the newest of waves, and it seemed like the perfect medium to launch the outlaw marshal character who came up through the webzines. All the Cash & Miles stories have been popular but Manhunter's Mountain is clearly a hands-down favorite. Not a month goes by without someone asking if the series is available in print. One fan from North Dakota even asked if I could print just one copy for his collection, and I wrote back saying it would cost $500! Crickets chirping.

So, from now on most BEAT to a PULP works over 15k will be in both print and electronic formats, and we will work on updating our back catalog.

Thank you Wayne D. Dundee for writing such an exceptional book that perfectly infused the western, noir, and hardboiled elements.

Well done, both of you. Larry Sweazy's praise on the cover says it all.

Yes, we were very appreciative of Larry's blurb. Top talent and gentleman.

Wonderful! Keep on!

Cool. I'm going to start doing some of this too. I need to see how long a 15 k book would be. I thought it would be too short.

That's my line in the sand, Charles. And I may break the rule from time to time. I've noticed readers start to get frustrated with paying for anything less. Feel cheated even when its only $0.99.
