Thank you, friend! It's kind of surprising to me that I fell into the western genre to begin with. It started with an Anthology entry called "Finding Refuge", the third one I wrote for the Rewind Antho, and the enjoyment I had for it never went away. "Sidewinder" came way later, and helped me get out of a covid funk. The positive reaction to it led to "Larkspur", which was equally as rewarding. "Boundaries" happened because of something @Aditus posted on the antho thread, kind of like he challenged me to write a western for it (after I had already written two other entries). In the end, it led me to "Bearpaw", another great experience. The other side of writing westerns, though, is it may have kept me from writing a Book Two of "Morningstar".
Thanks again.
