Thanks! I’m sure I will. It’s always a fun day.

I hadn’t thought about Agatha Christie doing that. That makes me want to go back and re-read some of her books.

I had a lot fun writing my version of a “western,” and I hope that folks enjoy it. And thanks. I like the cover a lot too.

I’ve recently been re-reading a bunch of Agatha Christie, and she does that! `The Pale Horse’ is one of those atmospheric stories that seem supernatural but isn’t. (I should know what those are called….) `The Secret of Chimneys’ involves the politics of an invented European country and makes me think of `Prisoner of Zenda’ every time I read it. The Tommy and Tuppence books are spy stories. `The Man in the Brown Suit’ is a travel adventure…. those aren’t all in one series, are they? But they are all mysteries, and so would have the danger of running together in a person’s head if Christie didn’t throw in such varied bits and pieces of other story types.

Also, Gin Blanco with a touch of the wild west sounds interesting. I like the swinging wooden door in the background on the cover art. 🙂
