I go and write a chapter and look what happens!!!

That Bill works for me.  He's big and he's built.  I think Joe is a little TOO Round!  hehehe.  The Wes and Edna... hm.  Interesting take.  I am trying to recall if I gave any physical description of Wes.  Yeah... at the hospital in "Taking Chances" I think.  He is big, tall, rawboned, with a ruddy complexion, and I think I specified his hair and eyecolor but don't remember it at the moment.  *blush*  Let me pull up the Wes description.

I picture Edna looking more grandmotherly...she is always putting chicken and biscuits in baskets, after all! (That couple looks familiar...aren't they in a Viagra ad???)

I like that Bill...just on personal grounds, I mean. And remember, there had to be some sort of physical attraction to keep Ellery involved for four years, more or less...

LOL...I don't know if they are in a Viagra ad!  ;D  But they seemed warm and welcoming ...

And I chose that dude for Bill because like you said, he looks good, and doesn't Ellery dig masculine types?  ;)

We had that picture yesterday of the REAL sheriff of Laramie WY...Danny Glick? Except for the pornstache, I was thinking he could be Wes.

Yes he does.  He works for me for Bill - who Ennis saw in the opening chapter as having large hands, an imposing size and looked like "a cowhand".

Dear Danny,

Your photo has been nominated to serve as the physical manifestation of a fictional Sheriff of your city in a Brokeback Mountain fan fiction porn tribute.  We really really hope you don't mind, because we think our story does credit to your entire department for being open minded, above reproach, affirmative toward homosexuality and promoting positive employee working relationships.  Feel free to peruse the Internet online files which detail the saga in 220 action packed, steamy chapters.  Warning:  NOT work safe!

Sincerely,

The Ennis and Ellery Fan club at Bettermost BBM Forum

I think Sheriff Danny will respond very positively to that lovely invitation. Maybe I should email him the Word file of "Taking Chances" so he can get started on his reading.

ok here is our description of Wes Brown.  Considering Ennis is 6'1", Ellery is 6'3", Wes is HUGE.

“Shit yeah. I hate hospitals,” Ennis replied, letting Ellery’s comment pass.  He was too annoyed by Pete to react immediately.  This time, Ennis led the way to the car, and had already unlocked it when he noticed that Ellery had stopped to talk to a beefy man with slicked back medium brown hair, an ill fitting brown suit over his bulging shoulders, and a neat black bolo tie.  He waited by the car door, until he saw Ellery look up and beckon him.

“Ennis this here’s Wesley Brown, Sheriff a Laramie County an my pain in the ass boss.”  The beefy man, with puffy, apple red cheeks and an easy smile, overtopped both Ennis and Ellery by several inches, and reached out a red-palmed hand to clasp Ennis’s.
“Mr. Coyote always gets me good, boy,”  Ellery said, winking.  “Almost forgot what life was like before I got me my own personal coyote.”
