Understanding and appreciating life in the Old West requires passion, not just a knowledge of the facts. I was reminded of that today by one of our site visitors.

Ran onto a nice resource blog for all of us who love Western novels. Don’t know why I hadn’t found this before. It’s a blog called “Western Fiction Review,” and it pretty much does exactly that: The author of the blog has some really nicely written reviews of Western novels, current and past, and some fascinating interviews with some Western writers — also current and recent past.
I haven’t looked all around the site yet, but I already would recommend it. I found this blog by Googling the name of an old friend of mine who’s been a very prolific Western novelist for more years than he or I would be willing to own up to — Frank Roderus (whom I believe I’ve referred to here before). Be sure to look around the “Western Fiction Review” site and read that interview, as well as several other very interesting interviews.
