Why Tombstone?
Question: There are so many “Old West” towns, why did you decide to pick Tombstone as the setting for your first novel, “Blood and Silver”?
Answer: Full disclosure – I live only forty five minutes away from Tombstone. It is a place that we visited many times; first with our two young boys (what little boy doesn’t like cowboys and shootouts!) Later when friends and family discovered how close we were, they insisted on a visit.
I’ve walked those original boardwalks and explored those old historic buildings many times. But I was frustrated that all anyone ever talked about was the Earps or the shootout at the O.K. Corral. I started thinking that there had to be a lot going on in Tombstone before one incident it is infamous for. So I started to dig…what I found was Blood and Silver.
