Exciting news! Once a month you can chat with Stan at his Author Chat Room at his web site http://www.stanlynde.net/chat_290.html. We hope you have time to set aside for this wonderful opportunity just two weeks away for the first chat and then every month the first Monday of every month at 7 p.m. with a new topic each month.
 

Another SOS. We need your help! In order to be considered for Amazon's Encore program we need more written book reviews. It's Amazon's method of looking at the little guys who have fans following them and good books. If you've read any of Stan's novels or in particular Marshal of Medicine Lodge, we would sure appreciate a written review (and it doesn't have to be long, just sincere). You can post a review at  http://phx.corporate-ir.net/phoenix.zhtml?ID=1287891&p=irol-newsArticle&c=176060&highlight=.
