Once again Cody Wells has gone the extra mile to give me a cover to be proud of ... but no, that's not David Bowie with hat in hand, it's my mate Gary Martin Dobbs!!!"
However when I looked at the cover I thought WOW - that is me! And not just a resemblance but the designer Cody Wells, himself a tasty western scribe, looks to have based the character on a image of me.
Hey, now I'm a real cowboy, thanks to Ben and Cody. Cheers guys, a better Christmas pressie I couldn't think of. I'll be printing that cover out and framing it so it can take pride of place on the wall above my desk.

You can pick up the book at Amazon but head on over to the Piccadilly Publishing website and look at the westerns, both classic and new that they've got on over there. They are publishing the Belle Slaughter books, an all new series of all action westerns from my good friend, Tony Masero as well as bringing back many of the adult western series that thrilled so many of us in years gone by.
