I know a few on the Fire have read and reviewed my book. For that, I thank you. The reviews have placed it #4 top rated on Amazon for westerns. Kev Gibson was the only name I recognized coz he used his real name and not a screen moniker.
Thanks again.
Dan

I bought it and read it, but never thought about posting a review. May have to read it again and put something up. Congratulations! It's a good read!

Ben, appreciate the thought. So far there are 30 reviews on Amazon and only 2 are 4 stars, the rest are five. I'm pretty tickled about that.

Dan,
Reading it now and enjoying it a lot. Just curious, at the price they are selling the Kindle edition, are you actually getting anything from it?

I get about 40 cents for every 99 cent sale.
I lowered the price to 99 cents for two reasons,
#1 I don't really need the money and really want to increase distribution to the point that when I release my second book, people will be more inclined to buy it. Marketing a book to a major publisher is easier if you can demonstrate you've managed to garner some interest with prior work.
#2, my second one is done and it won't be too long before I try to market it.
Glad you're enjoying it. You'll never guess the end.
Dan

I just ordered your book on Amazon. I am glad to hear that it is doing well, and I am happy to be able to support a fellow Campfire member. I look forward to reading it, and I will look forward to your next book, also. Have a good day.

Thank you a ton. Like I said, it's not the money as much as knowing people are enjoying the story! If I sell a paper back I get a whole buck-sixty! I won't be competing with Stephen King anytime soon. But then Stephen King doesn't know squat about guns and such!

Is the title, "The Long Shooters"? I'll load a copy on my Kindle if you provide the title.

The title is indeed: "The Long-Shooters"
A murder mystery you will not guess, though all the clues are there.
Thanks for the comments. The extra 80 cents will please the wife.

Congrats Dan, though I must confess I bought it on my Kindle but have not got around to it yet.

Thanks all.
The next one is more of a traditional western/historical fiction. It involves an uprising of Comanche who left reservations in 1877 and went to raiding isolated ranches and hunting camps. They stirred things up for a while, but were eventually put down. There isn't a lot of info on the actual occurrence...so I simply wrote my own. It won't be very politically correct, so a larger pub house may not touch it. If so, I'll go independent.

Is there any chance of getting an autographed copy, Dan? Or are they only available from retailers?

I don't have a kindle so I'll have to get a paperback copy. Sounds interesting...
