Out of curiosity, I googled the title of the novel I published back in 1991 and up came five sources that are selling it from Amazon to Barnes & Noble and some smaller enterprises. I was pleasantly surprised because I've recently been re-editing it with the intention of putting it out there again. I could soon be competing with myself!
It's is a sweet get- rich- quick scheme hatched by a Montana cowboy who also happens to be a Harvard educated lawyer. He recruits his ranch crew to hunt the Bigfoot, hoping to make a fortune. There are many twists and turns, death, romance, high adventure, clashes in family values; most of the classic angst provoking stuff with wonderful bursts of comic relief.
I am proud of the effort. As an older writer with more life experience, I believe I am making it into a better story with this rewrite. I wouldn't bother if it didn't have great bones in the first place.
Harriet Charles, who was the only woman writer on Gunsmoke for 15 years and the former President of the Olympia Writers' club I belonged to for ten years, gave me the very best review. She said: I't's a cracking good story!
I'll take that!
