Stuart G. Yates:
Hi Stuart, I see from your Amazon page that your Westerns have been you most successful to date. I am intrigued, as I sense that Westerns are a bit of a hidden genre. Do you have any thoughts as to why these novels have been particularly successful for you?

hi Martin!
Yes, I've thought about this myself. I think, first of all, that Western readers seem to be a very loyal lot. They appreciate good stories and come back to certain authors time and time again. There is something eternally romantic about the Western and, if it is a well-written, authentic tale, this is much appreciated.
But, to be honest, I don't really know. I love Westerns myself and always wanted to write one. Now that I have, I can't see myself doing much else!
