I just finished Wade Miller's Branded Woman. I enjoyed it
pretty well, but I've read better by Miller, especially Devil
May Care. It was interesting that the book featured a female
protagonist who was pretty tough.
It also had that '50s paperback love at first sex thing
going, where characters fall almost immediately in love.
Reads kind of funny now, but I've read enough books of the
era to know it was often supposed to be taken at face value,
possibly something to do with the sex being less seamy if you
married them off or at least had them fall in love
afterwards?
It's the second recent HCC book I've read, along with Plunder
of the Sun, dealing with treasure, specifically gold the
Spanish tried to take out of the Americas. Like books of that
theme, Charles?
Anyway, I got to wondering about sales of HCC books. Charles,
if your sales figures aren't classified, which HCC books are
selling better, the reprints or the originals? Or do they
vary by individual title, having no pattern based on
vintage?
