Ya-hee! Spotlight & 5 Star Review
Under the heading of 'New Western Writer Comes To Town' IcySnowBlackstone has given Dead Men's Fingers prime billing on her blog, complete with an excerpt.
She's also done it the honour of an in-depth 5 star review here which includes:
"...This is a tough little Western... as gritty and bloody as they come. The descriptions are so realistic one can almost feel the arid heat and see the stark surroundings as the wagons push across the plains, and feel the splash of the water and see the mud being churned up as they ford the river. 'Dead Man’s Fingers' may be short, but it’s filled with plenty of narrative, description, and characterization. Jed is a good man, a caring father but a man aware of how his past may catch up with him sooner or later..."
Well, thank ya kindly, ma'am.

Launch Day!
Dead Men's Fingers launches today as an ebook for the Kindle. A fast-paced Western in the classic style, it has previously seen bookstore shelves in both hardback and softback large print. Now it finds a larger readership via digital technology. E-Pub format for the Nook, Kobo, Sony and iPad will follow shortly.
The novella (35,000 words) follows widower Jed Longman who
signs to a company of wagons to take his three sons to a better life out West.
But trouble keeps snapping at his heels. There’s the persistent Mrs
Harris with her school ma’am attitude so contrary to her fancy coach-guns, then
the threat of fever, then the ruthless killer Baddell determined to haunt him
and his into an unmarked grave. Sometimes a family man has to remember how to stand alone.
Enjoy. More are due at the staging post.
