Steve Sanders said… - Hi Marshall. I made an entry in "Ask the Marshall" today (8/13) re: Doc Holliday vs Johnny Ringo. It slipped below the surface when it got no response. I am very interested in the info, and appreciate if you would locate the entry and share your knowledge on the subject.

- Hi, Marshall, I absolutely don't want to be a pest, but am wondering about the "blurb" for Saving Tom Black. We'd like to upload the cover with your blurb on it...I'd like to send out some ARCs. Any idea when it might be ready?
