Hi Jim-
Thanks for the kind words (and Karin, thanks both for the
encouragement, and for answering my B'con survey!). I'm
biased, and can't vouch for the quality of the story, but it
was an awful lot of fun to write, and I was pleasantly
surprised that they made it the lead-off story.
There are a couple of homages to directors Anthony Mann and
Howard Hawks in the story. I had fun coming up with those as
well, since Mann especially strikes me as the ultimate
hard-boiled director (the stuff he did with Widmark and
Stewart, especially), and Hawks was, well, Hawks.
Anyway, I just hope that if you read it, you enjoy it!
All the Best-
Brian

Subject: RARA-AVIS: Brian Thornton in November
issue of AHMM
Hard-boiled westerns have been discussed here on
a
number of occasions. You might all want to check
out
the November 2006 issue of ALFRED HITCHCOCK which
has
a western/mystery entitled "Counting Coup" by our
own
Brian Thornton.
Good on you, Brian! May you be Rara-Avis's next
Spur
winner!
