He's a friend of a friend. Another novel that did come through the critique service will eventually be going to my agent for his consideration, though. Obviously, a side benefit of the critique service is if I think something is publishable, I'll help out in any way I can. JV Actually, it wasn’t. He’s a friend of a friend.

Based upon that excerpt, Jesse Bullington has a guaranteed customer when this book is bound in paper and glue. On another note; was his book submitted to you as part of your critiquing services?

I really like the Western influence on a fantasy setting. It makes a lot of sense having the characters adopt that kind of parlance and attitude. Interesting. And I read lots of e-books, but haven't and will never self-publish one. Granted I don't read self-published e-books, so wouldn't ever recommend someone self publish their work.
