I recently met Bill Gulick in Spokane, WA., at my first WWA convention....that's the Western Writers Association. The other writers there seemed to hold Bill in very high esteem, so when I got home I found one of his old westerns in a used book store....and I just finished reading it last night.
Wow! This guy can sure write....I've been reading tons of Louis L'Amour books, and certainly enjoying them, and Bill's writing reminds me a great deal of L'Amour, same kind of good attention to detail, lots of color, excellent action, great characters, good setting, tight plot...just a darn good read in all regards.
I understand a number of his books were made into movies...which makes plenty of sense. The exciting thing for me is that I've discovered a new author whose writing I really like, and an author who wrote quite a few books. I'm looking forward to getting my hands on as many of Bill Gulick's westerns as I can find...and reading every one of them. Honestly, check this guy out...Gulick's a great writer!
