Expanded "Holmes on the Range" chronology!

A while back, super-reader and writer Bob Byrne created an exhaustive guide to the “Holmes on the Range” series on the Black Gate website. I guess Bob recovered from his exhaustion, because now he’s updated it with more chronological info for the books and stories as well as entries for the HotR spinoffs Hired Guns and No Hallowed Ground. Check it out!

“A battle cry" Mr. Bennet said "is a warrior's calling card. Only it does not say 'Good afternoon. I have come for tea and crumpets.' It says 'Death has come for you! Flee or be killed where you stand!”

Hey, Zoe! The writing's been a bit of a roller coaster the past couple years, but it's finally smoothing out. In fact, I'm going to have fun news to share soon on a number of different projects. How's tricks for you?
