Colt Country | Home of The Almighty Colt

Where are my readers at?
I suggesteed to the publisher this book needs to be revisited: https://www.amazon.com/Ghost-Towns-Northwest-Norman-Weis/dp/0870043587

He said "Absolutely!!! Show me what you've got, that's my best selling work, in it's twelth reprint" or something.

I startd this in 2020, then that election, dog died, became an owner operator in a trucking outfit, kids became homeless, left the truck, officialized the separation, she died, relocated 400 miles south... I've had some life, happen.

I'm finished with my test run, it's 5-6 of (5, really, but I separated a particular dredge out as a stand alone topic) the cities he visted, my words and his.

Feedback I am looking for:

"Does it sound intelligent?"

"Is it compelling enough to turn the bext page, and continue, and not simply because I asked the favor?"

"Does the writing quality degrade towards Bayhorse and Custer?" (those are the last two I added, after letting the project sit dormant for 2.5 years)

"What can you critique?"

It's a live link, I'll be redoing the title page, and blocking over the weekend, etc., but the content shouldn't change, as far as the written word is concerned.

Goal is to have it printed off and bound somehow, and submitted on Monday.

Great photos. The website is easy to navigate. You did well on that. The photos speak for themselves. Thumbs-up!

Thanks Marshal.

Also, that pic on the "this is me" page, I'm adjacent to a civil war battlefield (I was hunting them that day) in MO; with Smoky's Lyman, in a mike116 piece of leather...

Very nice photography! You have an eye for it.

Thanks Cap'n.

The goal out of this is to pay my bills with it, hence the "Ad Copy" (those were paid  ) and the Listing Photography sections (also got paid there )

Clydesdale. Checked out your site. You have some very nice photos on there. BTW. If I may be so bold, the "This Is Me" tab?, Maybe use a larger font? It's a bit difficult to read. Just an opinion sir and not a criticism. Thanks for posting the link.

I've been cleaning that up, and adding media to it today. Fonts are different, and things lay out better. Turning my contact info into a hyper link is an asskicker, tho'. If I can't get it? the hosting site offered "$1,000 worth of site design" as part of the package. Everything I've done is self done so far... I won't feel badly if I have to call on them for that.

www.timsuttonphoto.com is who I aspire to be, he's a bad ass ad copy 'tog, and I use his hosting company. THey said If I laid it out, they could tweak it to where it worked as well as his does.

We're getting there, lol

Looking sharp, sir. (I second the Dragon Wax notion).

Nope.  I don’t do Faceberg.

They took a 3" gobstopper, and a pound of RS Pyrodex, and fired it out of a tube at a junk car. the crater in the junk 70's LTD, or whatever it was, was flat impressive.
