First, A Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to all!
The Prologue and Chapter 1 are with the moderators and should post soon. Voting will be turned on in a few weeks.
There are a total of 21 Chapters, inclusive of the Prologue and Epilogue, totaling just over 185K words, which will post weekly on Fridays for 19 weeks. I decided on longer chapters when I started writing this one, so the shortest chapter is the Prologue at approximately 33kb. The majority of the remaining chapters average roughly 130kb although a few are as short as 55kb.
I never dreamed that anyone would associate my little Monopoly quote at the end of Retreat with 'Who Shot JR', but from the emails and comments that I've received, that is exactly what appears to have happened. I'm happy to tell you that the answer to my little version of 'Who Shot Jr?' is answered in Chapter 1.
Future chapters bring in the 'Fresno Scraper', another subject of frequent emails and comments.
I'm still working on adding a Cast of Characters to my website so please bear with me until I get it done.
Should you prefer reading the entire book at one sitting instead of waiting for the weekly serial version, links to the various retailer sites, where Railroad and all my other books can be purchased, are on my website at https://pcallenbooks.yolasite.com
Have a question on the accuracy of any item, place, or historical person? Please see the FACTS page on my website which may answer many of your questions. It's interesting, fun, and full of facts the story in each book is based around. Not to mention there's links to playlists for all the music in each book.
Maps, photos, and diagrams of New Mexico Territory, Estancia Dos Santos, Las Cruces, and various historical people along with recommended non-fiction books are all on the ABOUT page of my website as well.
As always, I look forward to your emails and comments!
