By the time you get to know, and get involved in the lives of the characters, the short story ends.<br /><br />The stories in Charles Gramlich's Killing Trail collection offer plenty of action, and surprisingly thorough character development as well. <br /><br />Well done, my friend.<br /><br />Gary AddisAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09045625031532254829noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28221839.post-90312912896658214552010-07-20T11:35:52.719-05:002010-07-20T11:35:52.719-05:00Erik, it's going to be an interesting next few...Erik, it's going to be an interesting next few years.<br /><br />Houston A.W.

But if I decide to go e-book alone, the Kindle process seems pretty easy, and you get instant distribution with the biggest distributor in the world. Can't beat that. I'm off to read Part Two now.Laurie Powershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10429604692700662254noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28221839.post-89251037854204991842010-07-18T13:16:57.957-05:002010-07-18T13:16:57.957-05:00Oh, I found you!
