Actor Peter Sherayako (he played Texas Jack in Tombstone) graciously agreed to write the foreword for the Buffalo Bill book. Peter has portrayed Cody in a number of stage plays and he’s very good. He knows everything about Cody and has caught a few mistakes I’ve made in the manuscript. Which is good! There’s nothing worse than having a book out there riddled with inaccuracies. Readers aren’t shy about letting you know what mistakes you’ve made. They often post the misspellings, mistakes in dates, and/or photo captions on Amazon.com.. The whole world knows you screwed up. Well, maybe not the whole world, but definitely the three people who actually read the reviews on Amazon. I received an email about my high school reunion in September in Arizona. I’m a little nervous about it. I feel like I only have seven months to make something of myself. I’ll have to get new glasses before the event. The ones I have now make me look like Bea Arthur as a welder. Next week I’ll be posting sections of the book The Deadliest Accusation on the site. I can’t say I’m going to be as excited about the release of that book as I am about Thunder Over the Prairie. I want my brother’s life to have counted for something and maybe that title will help in the long run.
