One of the most positive response I get from people who read Lancer; Hero of the West - The Prescott Affair, is how I mixed real life, legendary characters into my fictional story. I was asked by Sharlot Hall Museum Director Fred Viel while I was in Prescott last week for the book signing, "is the book an historical novel?" I had to be vague because it is, and it isn't. Fred's definition of "historical" novel lends to real life people with the author's words, involved in old and new adventures.
Lancer does intermingle with real life characters but it's not the main body of the story. The story itself is totally fiction. Lancer, and this won't always be the case, begins his adventures in Tombstone where these legendary characters live and deal with him. You can find out more about Prescott and the wild west not only at Sharlot Hall but also at the Peregrine Book Store where we did the signing.
Below are some photos taken during the publicity day which include myself and Mayor Marlin Kuykendall, with Bo Woods at my old station KNOT Radio and me with Sandy Moss of AZ 7 TV where I was a guest on the station's Morning Scramble. More to come. I have to note the last photo below is me standing outside the Press Box in Prescott where at age 18 I did my first play-by-play gig.
