@Headstall's stories make me feel good and smile. For me everything started with Cards on the Table. Since then he is one of my favorite authors. 

Thanks, Adi! You are one of my favorite authors too.

I love all Gary's stories, but his cowboy short story Finding Refuge is my favorite, apart from Morningstar.

Thanks, Tim! I appreciate you mentioning Finding Refuge.   You have been with me from the beginning, as my editor, and I wouldn't want it any other way.

Thanks, Val! I've enjoyed yours as well.  

Thanks, @Renee Stevens, for the nice surprise.  

My fav is a tough call but I think Morningstar, mostly because it was a surprise for Gary too

Thanks, Bucket! It was a heck of a journey for many of us, and I'll always be thankful for the experience of Morningstar Mondays.

Thanks, Albert! And I have read it along with you each time.   The fact you love it so much means the world to this author.

You are most welcome!

Hmm, if I had to choose a favorite Headstall story I'm not certain I could. Morningstar was such an intriguing departure and yet classic Headstall. I think though that the one that started it all Cards on the Table is the one I enjoyed most. Perhaps because it was the first and we all, Gary and his readers, were learning to know one another. Some very special friendships resulted from that story.

That is so true, bro... some truly awesome friendships that have lasted. It was a very special time for me, certainly, as a rookie writer. I'm pleased it still resonates with you. And Morningstar: The Malaise was only possible because of all the things I learned while writing Cards.   Thanks, dugh.
