If they feel cheated of a good page turning yarn, readers will punish you. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f7e753a9d538c72e2e9cf51/f6e1c8e5-8152-4100-84fe-288264d240f2/markus-clemens-9ShzlH_o2Yk-unsplash.jpg Writing Blog - Makeup on your cover - Discarded dreams? If inner content does not match up to the expectations created by your outer pledges, the book will quickly become one of life’s unwanted discards.

Townsfolk, strangers, and outsiders unite to battle murderous hired guns. Sam has taken a break from the trail in the small town of Green Forks. A chance encounter with a young lady draws him into a helter-skelter arena of love and hate, honesty and deceit, survival and death. Razed buildings, rustled cattle, and dead friends demand bloody retribution. With their aging sheriff unable to stop lawlessness, ordinary folk chase down a fearsome gang, hired by a shady businessman to deliver his most recently acquired assets. Odds are stacked overwhelmingly in favor of the outlaws. Failure threatens the very survival of Green Forks. AMAZON REVIEW “Classic Western Tale! I really enjoyed this book. It reminded me of so many of the great western movies and TV shows that my Dad and I used to enjoy when I was a kid. I especially like the Chinese characters and would love to see more of them.
