Thanks for the feedback! I’m still in the development phase, having been researching off and on for about 16 years (have ~230 pages of notes). But it will be long — there are two timelines and it spans multiple states/countries. Not a standard (or wise) choice for a literary debut! 😄

Thanks for your interest! It’s inspired by real events and follows a group of unlikely allies with varied motives who hope to chase down a killer across a fractious post-Civil War West before circumstances, their pasts or rivalries tear them apart.

This is going to be my biggest challenge given my WIP has 30+ characters so far and 11 principal characters. Here’s hoping I can pull it off!
