U.S. Deputy Marshal Merlin Fanshaw is out of town on the day George Starkweather and his outlaw band hold up the Cattleman's Bank of Dry Creek. When his boss later suggests Fanshaw infiltrate the gang as an undercover agent, he doesn't have to give it much thought--he and Starkweather have a dark history and he's eager to bring his nemesis to justice.
The winter of 1886 brings Fanshaw and Starkweather together, and as the bitter winter deepens, so does the danger.

Last week the Clarion was late in our delivery due to an overload to our 'normal' email provider, and we were rejected! We scrambled to locate a new email provider for our new burgeoning fan list. Our new provider is inBox25 and the system is fascinating in the data charts, and seems fairly user friendly, which is a plus for me. Which brings me to asking you for input. What do you like about the Clarion and what would you like to see covered in it?
The winner of the Merlin Fanshaw Weekly Contest last week was Rebecca Lambracht of Sugar Land, Texas who will receive a beautiful Stan Lynde Quicksilver pencil print for her quick response to the quiz. This week's quiz is posted at http://stanlyndeauthor.com/?page_id=1455 under 03-18-12 and you MUST be the FIRST to ANSWER in the COMMENTS under the new quiz page (03-18-12). The quiz is not up until Sunday morning so I do not have the 03-18-12 link to provide when I send out the newsletter, BUT I have the question and choices (for your preview ahead of the media):
In the Merlin Fanshaw Western Series which of the following was not romantically involved with Merlin?
a. Pandora Pretty Hawk
b. Mary Alice Weems
c. Bonnie Jo Hutchins
d. Abigal Bannister

We still have a long ways to go on getting out the Stan Lynde print promotions to our most recent new subscribers, but we are working away on it. That's pretty much a wrap on fan news for this week, other than to report Stan is finishing the last chapter of his latest novel The Big Open, which is expected out sometime mid-summer.
God bless each and every one, and have a super week ahead.
