Your plans sound excellent Louise.
Nice title, I think.

I will be wrapping up "Shelter From the Storm" (much as I lurv that title) as soon as the boys can buy tuxes, get the Red Stallion back in operation, hire a new bouncer (yes! perhaps we have casting for Mr. Hot Extra, Lucise!) Mr. Lance England, and get to Ben Tooey's wedding.

:D Yay!
--- Quote ---And all's well that ends well except of course for Amos Marigold, Brad Sevigny, and a host of bad Brotherhood guys.
I have finally settled on a title for the next book which will cover things settling down in the Sheriff's department, Ennis gathering up a new crop of fillies for the Brown Horse Ranch, reconciling with his daughter Francine, he and Ellery buying a new horse and taking that long anticipated ride up to Brokeback together. The working title of the next book is "The Long Way Home". I think.

Sounds great Louise. Lucky, lucky us! :D

--- End quote ---
I don't believe that. While it is true and obvious that Ennis loved Jack more than he loved Alma, I don't believe that he was without love for her. IT just wasn't the same. He loved her as much as he knew how to at the time. He just stated that he was concerned about her being satisfied enough when they were together, to learn and DO what would make her happy.
I do believe that he has been occasionally interested in women, and has already stated that some catch his eye occasionally. Throughout the whole getting to know Ennis, through BBM, book, movie, and this Laramie Saga---he has never said he didn't love Alma, just that he never loved her like he did Jack, and now like he does Ellery. But I do not believe that the only reason he was ever with Alma was to hide who he was. HE may have not quite even understood who he was, but he wasn't hiding.

He developed a scale of 0 to 6, where 0 was 100 percent heterosexual and 6 was 100 percent homosexual. Zeros and sixes are relatively rare. Most of us fall somewhere between one and five.

Even though 6's are rare, I would say that Ellery fits the bill. Not only has he never been with a woman, and has no interest in it, he also seems to be quite grossed out by the whole idea! :P
I agree with ranchgal about Ennis. I think he loved Alma, a little bit anyway, just not nearly as much as he loves Jack and Ellery. In view of his revelations about Charlie's Angels in tight leather, and Emma Peel ::), I would put him at a 4 or 5!
I suspect (hope?) we will learn more about Dupree soon, but for now I would say 1 or 2.

Yee Haw!! Book Five!! :D Fast or, well, fast, I like the direction you're going!
The focus of the new book sounds great. As much as I am enjoying "CSI: Laramie", crime stories and mysteries are not my usual thing. That's just my own personal preference. Mystery is not my favorite genre, but yours was obviously well written, hot, funny, and, oh yeah, did I mention hot?!! It's been a lot of fun to read, and it's probably good for me to branch out a little. Still, it will be nice to read about Ennis and Ellery getting away for a while, and I am looking forward to hearing more about Francine. I also will be happy to see more of Ennis at work. He seems to have had minimal self-confidence for so long (most of his life, really), and now he has something at which he is really, really good. And other people recognize just how good he is. This can only be a positive thing for his personal growth. Can't wait to see how this all develops!
