The characters and plots are unique and exciting.<br /><br />Western Fictioneers is certainly becoming an active group of cooperative writers.<br /><br />I am sure everyone involved is ecstatic to be part of the series. Jim Griffin talked about your character and horse scene in one of the books and how good it was.<br /><br />CharlieCharlie Steelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16992330591519249699noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1409887812566625284.post-27170159442213263292013-11-11T00:39:12.394-06:002013-11-11T00:39:12.394-06:00I enjoy every Wolf Creek book.

And as the other Charlie says, the characters are complex, the plots are believable, and you want to keep checking the map to see where this Wolf Creek, Kansas, town is. The stories lope along at a fast pace, and the characters grow and change with every new book. Indeed, a TV series would work well. I'm happy to be a part of the series.ChuckTyrellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02609200010767178944noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1409887812566625284.post-36065248246749544812013-11-10T23:19:54.855-06:002013-11-10T23:19:54.855-06:00You're welcome Jim and thanks for the positive...You're welcome Jim and thanks for the positive comment.<br /><br />CharlieCharlie Steelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16992330591519249699noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1409887812566625284.post-73472611766552396922013-11-10T19:24:40.275-06:002013-11-10T19:24:40.275-06:00And let's not forget Charlie's contributio...And let's not forget Charlie's contribution to the Western Fictioneers' West of the Big River series, The Forty-Niners.

You wouldn't think this sort of collaboration could possibly work but each book is incredibly captivating. Kudos to Troy, who edits and writes two of my favorite characters, and all the other authors who've made this experience happen.Jacquie Rogershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17361793932364487636noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1409887812566625284.post-24206286247560557722013-11-09T12:37:01.249-06:002013-11-09T12:37:01.249-06:00Thanks Keith.
