When I read my e-mails tonight and saw that VALLEY OF THE DUDES was a favorite pick for 2010 by Michele Montgomery, of Michele ‘n Jeff reviews, I was more than surprised. First, because I was just thinking about this book the other day and remembering it was one of the books I’ve enjoyed writing the most. Second, even though sales have been good, VALLEY OF THE DUDES hasn’t received many reviews one way or the other. And sometimes it just goes that way. You can’t ever predict these things.

I’d like to thank Michele Montgomery and everyone over at Michele ‘n Jeff reviews. This was a nice way to ring in the new year. And definitely something I didn’t expect.
