Gave a talk downtown yesterday at the Burton Barr Library to honor Jana Bommersbach.
Here I am afterwards posing with the fine folks who put on the event. True West magazine raised $1,200 for Friends of the Phoenix Library by selling 12 Hellraisers & Trailblazers books that both of us had signed before she passed.
Mark McDowell gave me an update on the Old Vaquero Sayings booklet printing process and brought me one of the printed pages. Very clean.
Meanwhile, got a missive from Ireland this afternoon, asking me if my Jesse James book would be out in time for Christmas. I told him it has been pushed back to next year and then included this cover, by mistake (one of our earlier versions):
To which, he replied:
"That is a brilliant cover!"

Ha. Did we make a mistake?
"First thought, best thought!"

Two great covers . First one bright but hat looks Australian . Second one better features on the face . Lower half a bit dark .
