Hello, dips toe carefully into pond

After all, there might be sharks or alligators. I'm a new member. My good friend JeanneTGC said I should jump in. I'm a voracious reader, one of Jeanne's primary betas, and am noodling with an idea she says is narrative non-fiction. The two most recent westerns I've read are 'Appaloosa' and 'Resolution', both by Robert B Parker. Don't have a lot of westerns in my library, but have read hundreds in the past.

Thanks for the warm welcome.

Thanks Puma and Phyl. I'm actually in the 'organizing to do research' phase. Making lists of info I need, and the places I can potentially find it. Wish I had a spare few thousand to make a trip to W TX courthouses and historical societies. But just as sure as I spent the money, they would have NOTHING. So I will write letters, offer to pay for copies, and include SASEs so they can let me know if they have anything I want. It's actually all Jeanne's fault. She was late getting to the WWA book signing and I had too much time to go around gathering and purchasing. I even called to say 'help me, I'm buying', and she just laughed. And it was a MEAN laugh.
