Fallon's Land New Price and new library pricing
To help my readers who may not be able to afford $4.99 for Fallon's Land but are stating their interest in its purchase, I have set a new pricing for $2.99 and $0.99 for libraries. Remember, Fallon's land can be enjoyed by all age groups as there is not hint of, or sexual impropriaties that would make it 'R' rated other than normal "Westerns" style violence. Thanks, Terry

Upset!!
You know, I have got three unkind reviews on Wars End. If you believe I am going to pay you to proof-read my work just to get a positive review from you, you are wrong. I sat tonight and read Wars End, and no, I am not Ian Fleming. Solomon Stryker is not James Bond, but then again I never said I was a prolific writer! I never believed I would become wealthy from writing. I enjoy what I do, whether you like it or not. If all you have time to do is sit around and crush people with your words, then please, bypass my books to save me from wasting your time. Yes, there a few typos, but guess what? I found typos in the Hunger Game series as well. Did I trash the author of The Hunger Games? No! I accepted them for what they were, good reads, not great, but good. It was my choice to read them. I have found typos in Stephen King's work. Heaven forbid! Stephen King! No, say it ain't so! It happens. So, if you don't have anything kind to say, like my parents taught me, shut up!!

Fallon's Land Sent For Publishing!
As of 12/02/2013 I have sent Fallon's Land to smashwords.com and Amazon for publishing (Available now for Kindle.) Here is the introduction:
My name is Trece Fallon. My family owns the largest ranch in Wyoming and has for over 150 years.
Today is a day of reckoning that had been building since my, great, great, great grandfather Jedediah Fallon first came to Wyoming back in 1860.
It was a hot, sweltering day in the streets of Dry Run, Wyoming. On a day such as this, most people would be inside, soaking up the coolness of hard running air conditioning systems.
This day in Dry Run, the good town folk were on the sidewalks, watching the scene that was unfolding before them. Our town was like all western towns in the 21st Century. There were plenty of stories of gunfights in its history, with murders, lynching and hangings. The type of events that feed the rich lore that made multitudes of television shows and movies. Dime novels made events like quick-draw gunfights, done either at noon, outside a saloon or at dawn, a thing that fed the minds of the world and the country.
Children grew up with their wooden guns, walking towards each other, waiting for the other to draw their gun. Then the sounds of the children yelling, “Bang-bang” and then playfully falling dead in the street.
We have the exaggerated tales of gunfights with the fastest on the draw killing his opponent. It was mostly the ignorant by-stander, thinking they had a great view of what was about to transpire, being the shot and ending up in the local cemetery! That left the two gunfighters fighting to be the first one to draw back the hammers on their pistols to get the second shot fired next!
Dry Run, Wyoming was no different. The extraordinary difference from most western towns, was its lore based upon the my family protecting Dry Run and our Native American friends from one particular bad element that had infested the area with a bullish, overbearing attitude, bent on any criminal activity from rustling to gang style enforcers.
Today appeared to be another day for the history books. Standing in the street of Dry Run, were three individuals, two who were intent on killing the one, carrying guns and enough hate for 10 gunfights. This fight was a long time in coming, a fight had been building for over one hundred and fifty years, and cooler heads or the law could no longer prevent it from playing out!
However, I am getting ahead of myself. Let me take you back to when the bad blood and hostilities began…!

Amazed
Most of you know I wrote the books Wars End and Stryker's move, and though they are doing well, I am emotionally vested in them to a point. Though I love the characters, I realize they are from an unrealistic reality. (Wow, did I just type that?) While I sit and write Fallon's Land, I believe I see growth in myself as a writer. The cast of characters are so real to me and I am completely vested in them. When sadness happens, I feel sadness envelop me. When tradgedy strikes, their tears are mine as well and when they triumph, I feel myself cheering them on! Of all three books, Fallon's Land reminds me of how Diane Keaton's character did in "Something's Got To Give" as she wrote the play and she sat there crying while she wrote it. It came from experience and all aspects of emotions! If this is what producing literature is all about, dang, I'm hooked!

A TIME TO THANK ALL OF YOU
I want to take time to thank all of you who are helping to purchase Wars End and Stryker's move. I hope the final editions are to your liking (It must by the way they are moving)! Fallon's Land is coming along and I am excited about it! I give the reader quite a bit of historical facts in this fictional book. I read each complete chapter to my wife who is both critical and praising of what I am doing. I hope to have it done before Christmas, but instead of working toward a hard date, I am working harder to make it an exciting read! Thank you to all of my readers and those to come!
