Ron Scheer at
Buddies in the Saddle has reviewed The Shopkeeper and published a
companion interview with me.
"This is an
old-fashioned western in a way that goes back to the western’s roots. For the
closest comparison, I’d offer Francis Lynde’s first novel, The Grafters, which
was published in 1905. Both novels tell of a newcomer to the West who gets
involved in a political intrigue, where influence is bought and sold, and greed
rules the workings of government."
