At first I thought to find the logging camp bits for research purposes, but I started at the beginning and read it every evening for the past 5 nights. And I enjoyed it.

So, thanks for that interesting review. leaves on the Raney Treehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12711219595014372212noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3434602314756730550.post-43626716619478260422013-04-27T15:05:42.770-07:002013-04-27T15:05:42.770-07:00Sounds cool to me.

Very effective cover.<br /><br />There is a reprint project that plans to eventually publish all the Halfaday Creek stories. I wonder if it will ever see completion...Walker Martinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16089880902426182100noreply@blogger.com
