As I close on 4,000 hits so far, I really am not sure why anyone is reading this blog (aside from the occasional scantily clad cowgirl, that is). I hope that what I write is of some interest to someone, and that perhaps readers are learning a little bit about the genre. If you are looking for something truly insightful, though, you should read A Curmudgeon’s Diary, the blog of prolific Western author Richard S. Wheeler. His thoughtful approach to the novel and the western is truly wonderful to read.
