DEAD STICK Set in the 1920s, this intriguing mystery marks the return of likable Lucas Hallam.

DOG HEAVIES
A novel set in the glory days of the Hollywood western. One actor is an ex-gunslinger, a former Texas Ranger, and tough private detective.

I'll order Dog Heavies now. I'm only sorry it's the final one. Unless...?
ReplyDeleteThanks, Cap'n. It's the final one being reprinted. You never know. I've been writing about Lucas Hallam for 30 years now, so I don't see any reason to stop now. I've always wanted to write one set when his daughter is 2 or 3. I would think that could be interesting trying to handle a dangerous case with a young daughter to protect. Now if I just had some extra time . . .
ReplyDeleteThere are more novels? Great news.
