I was sent over here from NC4x4, and so far - it looks like I ought to fit in just fine.
But the reason I was sent over here, was because:
1. I like guns, a lot.
2. I'd rather vote for a head of rotten cabbage than a Democrat.
3. I wrote a book.
So the main purpose of this thread is to introduce myself... hello, I like guns. And the secondary purpose is to ask for your help for my book, which you folks may find interesting because it's an adventure/western/science fiction book written for gun people by a gun person.
And here's the thing.
The book is finished.
Now I need feedback. Honest, brutal, hurt-my-feelings feedback. Because it's more important for me to make a good product than to protect my ego. Also, the better it is, the more likely I can get it published, make money, write more books, buy more guns, and actually be able to afford to shoot them. (Have you priced .50 cal lately?!)
If you're a western gun aficionado, or a horse owner, I could certainly use your help as I'm weak in those areas. I've researched what I could... but from what I gather, horse people get as ticked off as we gun folks do when you get an obvious detail wrong. And any moment that makes a reader stop and go, "Wait... what?" is the absolute worst mistake a writer can make.
What's it on?
Well... if you like Magnificent Seven, Jurassic World, and Planet of the Apes - you ought to like this.
For a sampling of the first, heck I dunno, dozen or so chapters - here's a link:
West of Prehistoric
If you are interested, let me know and I'll send you a word document. I would offer to send paper copies, but it's not cheap to send an inch thick book through the mail.
So far, feedback has been great. I seem to have created something worthy of being read.
But I'd love to have feedback from my actual target audience. (Which is you people.
)
