Ah, can't please everybody!;) (http://www.amazon.com/Book-Tongues-1-Hexslinger/product-reviews/0981297862/ref=dp_top_cm_cr_acr_txt?ie=UTF8&showViewpoints=1)

Actually, I've been waiting for my first Amazon review, and thought it would likely as not be from somebody who was more put off than enthused over my trouser-ripping sensibilities. Nevertheless, I'm happy to note he seems to have liked the other parts of it well enough. Just stop gaying up your blood-soaked black magic horse opera so much, Gemma! Geez!

Anybody who'd care to add their own--hopefully more hot gay sex content-friendly--reviews in on top?

You really ought to write a travel guide called "Bang Your Way Through the Old West With Rough Gay Sex"!

I think this would necessitate far more geographical research than I'm willing to do, but I could probably take a crack at it.

Nobody ever complains about the abundance of heterosexual sex in books. Well, I almost did. I wanted Story, action...other stuff damnit! Todd Grimson had other ideas for Stainless. What can I say, I was a weirdo.

I think there needs to be a balance, that's for sure. Sixty-forty, at the very least.;))

That was my angry period, too. I just wanted the chopping. As I said, weirdo.

"Bang your way through the Old Weird West with hot gay action."

Hell, that's your marketing tag right there!

BTW, I ordered your book today. Looking forward to reading it.

What I want is a book with more asexual sex. Ooh, amoeba amoeba.

Well, perhaps I'm being pedantic, but I'm fairly certain the narrative has about as much sex in it as is warranted, given the characters nvolved. Then again, I would think that, wouldn't I?

"Bang Your Way Through the Old West With Rough Gay Sex"

That would be the best back-cover text.

That'd be the 1950s pulp version back cover text. And man, I'd like to see the front cover, too!

The most UNUSUAL gun the Wild West has ever seen...foe to all women, yet friend to no man! SHOCKING...SINFUL...ABSOLUTELY NOT TO BE SOLD TO ANYONE UNDER EIGHTEEN YEARS OF AGE!

Then again, as demonstrated by my icon, some things you just can't make up.

I like the way you've got him twirling his gun, Mr. Cool and all.

Waaah! That's really somethin', all right.;)

I love his bright emerald neckerchief, BTW. And the way his shirt sort of seems to be extending down into a pair of chaps.

Yeah, but I'm not sure I made the beard subtle enough.

Reprint edition

That settles it: we're going to reprint for this book 'cause the first run just sold out (champagne for everyone!), so the reprint edition's back cover copy will, in giant pink letters and Classic Old West font, say, "Bang Your Way Through the Old West With Rough Gay Sex!" No other text, no plot, blurbs, nothing. Just that covering the entire back.

We'll be into the third printing in no time.

Yaaay, reprint!

You're joking about the back cover, though, right?;)
