ORIGINAL CHARACTER ROUND-UP
***Mostly because it can get a little tough to keep track of all them Schultz brothers…;)

This beautiful story is filled with a litany of illustrations. The similes and metaphors paint clear vistas of the suffering Joe felt as well as the weather and the Schultz family.
The colorful dialogue
attributed to Dusty that surfaced in Hoss’s and Adam’s thoughts is a picturesque work
of art. Your tapestry of words and phrases are so vivid and ring true as clear as a bell.
The Cartwright family dynamic is as magnificent as it can be.
Great story! “Shoot him, Adam! Shoot himmmm!”
I’m glad you liked it! And yep, he sure shouldn’t have hesitated. 😉
Once again re-reading. I think this is one of my favorites for its emphasis on belief and faith and just being a rousing good yarn!
Thank, McFair! It was awfully fun—and hard and challenging—to write! I’m glad it stands the test of time and you find it worth re-reading. ?
