  2. Looks like my kind of book, Helen.

    When I was 14-15 yo, I read tons of Western books, with cowboys and indians and heroic rangers and US marshalls (and sexy women). The book by Cox is documentary, right, not fiction? Anyway, looks cool >:)

    Cold As Heaven

  7. Lol, Diane. I've never met him in person, but certainly seen him on TV quite a bit. And he made a stop on SFH a couple of years back.
