Reviews

[Bill Swiggs · Rating 5 out of 5]

Growing up, I was an avid reader of paperback westerns, becoming lost in the world created by those authors. The Wrong End of a Bullet took me back to my childhood in a totally immersive experience. Sharon Frame Gay's writing has won awards, and this shows in the quality of the stories in this western anthology. The characters are well-rounded and fleshed-out, the scenes described with excellence. You can smell the sweat, the dust and hear the tinkling of a piano in the saloon, the whickering of horses.
Sharon writes in an easy-going style that draws the reader in. I was so engrossed in reading that I was angry with myself for forgetting this book when I went on vacation.
The Wrong End of a Bullet is a must-have for anyone who likes westerns and I highly recommend it.
Well done, Sharon. I'm looking forward to reading more.
