I was somewhat hesitant to post threads of my books, but a few members have urged me to do so, so I'm finally giving in!

The Assassin is a western with some mystery elements mixed in. It is about a gunfighter who is hired to kill someone though nobody knows who, or who hired him to do it (even he doesn't know who hired him).

I actually thought that it was gonna be published by one of the major publishing houses as they were initially considering it, but they ultimately decided to pass on it. I hope you enjoy it if you do decide to read it.

Oh, and I also should have mentioned that a portion of the proceeds will benefit St. Jude Childrens Hospital. I donate a portion of each books sales to a charity.

Rye, thanks for posting this, I enjoy Westerns and I know we have members who love them. It's a bargain at $3.19!  And, there are two short stories I can get, too, cool!

It would be nice if there were a sample available.

Mike, not sure why there is no sample available. I know there was one before. I just e-mailed Amazon asking about this. I do have a sample up at my Authosden site if anyone wants to take a look first. Sorry about that.

Look forward to reading it.  One of the things I love about the Kindle is the chance to read some pre print material ... thanks for sharing your work.  Phil

Hi Rye - just ordered your book, for $3.19, I am an avid western fan.  I have almost a complete collection of Louis L'Amour, a lot of J. T. Edson, Elmore Leonard, Olin Thompson, etc., so it will be fun to see how you differ.  Believe me I'll let you know, pm if not good and broadcast here if good.

Glad to have another author to read!

The premise sounds really great, but the sample on the site you gave is completely unreadable. I don't mean the content - I am referring to the formatting. It's all one jumbled paragraph - impossible to read properly.

 

[Rye]

Thanks CS..I will have it fixed.

 

[Rye]

OK, its been fixed. It's actually readable now!    As an aside, thanks to all who have bought the book. The response has actually been overwhelming and the book rose to #1 in the Western section of the Kindle. I hope everyone is having a happy new years! Don't drink too much!
