“Mr. Coyote always gets me good, boy,”  Ellery said, winking.  “Almost forgot what life was like before I got me my own personal coyote.”

Thanks, Louise.  I sure do appreciate the early bird post.  You have a great story going and I have to check every so often for an update.  You have developed Ennis just as I think he would develope and at the same time you are developing me too.  For this I am very grateful.  Right on, Louise!

My turn: What scudder said. :)

I was going to type a response to the current chapter of the current story, and scudder beat me to it, expressing my exact thoughts, in almost the exact words. So, thanks, scudder.

And as always, thanks, Louise!
Peace be with y'all,
Fred

Er, folks...

We went over 50,000 views on this thread sometime in the past day!

And in terms of readers, the Laramie Saga Livejournal site has, in 3 weeks' time, 53,000 views, from 7,107 hosts!  That is phenomenal!  Daily readership has been relatively steady:

average of 1700 views per day
average of 275 hosts  per day


Thank you all for showing such interest and love for Ennis, Ellery, and the Laramie Saga stories. I never would have believed a year ago as I started my 8th original novel, that I would have written 6 more by the time fall closed in a year later!  Amazing!



Congratulation Louise!!!

And thanks for another two interesting chapters .

I really enjoy all the love guys. Truly.

Now here is what is interesting: when I wrote the sections in "Long Way Home" about Ennis being attracted to Clint Eastwood I had not really made a conscious connection between the young Clint Eastwood and his appearance similarity to Hugh Jackman. I just posted in the Hugh Hugh Hugh thread that Hugh got a chance to mention this to Clint Eastwood when he met him, that his fans had commented on the similarity between his appearance and Clint's when Clint was starring in "Beguiled."  Did Ennis fall in love with Ellery because he looked like Clint Eastwood???

Or was it the other way around? Did Ennis's attraction to Clint Eastwood increase because he looked like Ellery? (heheh)
