My apologies if I missed anyone's vote. There are seventy authors listed,
and they're a pretty diverse bunch. Which proves, I guess, that Western
readers are a pretty diverse bunch. We have English authors and American
authors, "literary" authors and pure pulp authors, authors who are still
alive and working and authors who have been dead for decades. A big thank
you to all the group members who participated.

We are WesternPulps, on yahoogroups. If you go to
http://www.yahoogroups.com, and type in "Western Pulps," you should find us.
We're an international list, with members in India, Germany, England, and
Finland. Some of our members are actual published authors, and James Drury
(TV's "The Virginian") has been known to drop by.
Once you get in, check out the Reading Lists in our Files section.
