[Publib] Re: Louis L'Amour Read Alikes--reply

[Kristie Boucher]

We have a local western writer who writes  "clean" westerns. They are wildly popular at our libraries. 
His name is Dusty Rhodes (fitting for a western writer) :)  http://www.eclectics.com/dustyrhodes/   
 
And, Robert J. Conley is one of my favorite authors. I don't look for cleanliness in books, 
but can't really think of any language or sex in his westerns. He also writes Cherokee specific 
books.
