Thanks right back at ya, miker. Yeah, Ed has always liked
that book. The other TEXAS WIND is one of the Gunsmith
series. J.R. Roberts is Bob Randisi
(at least most of the time). I'm pretty sure Bob wrote the
Gunsmith with that title. I've read it and didn't mind the
duplication of the title. As Bill Crider mentioned, my TEXAS
WIND is a PI novel, as well as my first novel. An homage to
Ross Macdonald, if you will. (Or as a reader once said to a
friend of mine who ran a bookstore at the time, "He just
ripped off everything in the Lew Archer books!")
Best, James
