Hello Alias Alice,
Thank you so much for downloading my book and even more for reading it. May I beg that you post a review on the site; each review puts me closer to actual consideration in the contest. Thank you. I am thrilled you enjoyed it, I am currently working on book two, Crowe Legacy: Into the Fire and it is moving along fast. There has been a lot of research, blood, love, and labor put into Heat Rising, so glad it gave you a new perspective on the War Between the States. I can see why you said, “Also, the two main characters very slightly resemble another pair we know well!” the Crowe Brothers are their own personalities, but like all partner duos they have that great chemistry which makes them work well together and yeah, I could not resist making one of them super cool with a six shooter as that is so very iconic in the American West Mythology. In addition, thank you for the comments regarding the language, there has been many thought processes if my vernacular use would be acceptable. But, you along with other reviews have been saying the same thing…that they love the language. Overall Alice, Merci Beaucoup.
