He was a very prolific writer, for sure! Let me know what you think of Wishing on Buttercups when you've had time to read it. You don't have to read it first before you read Forget Me Not.

I never knew much about him as a writer, and I never read any of his books. I know only that he wrote great western novels. Thanks for more insight into this famous author. Maybe I'll read one we have.Martha W.

I would love to win Forget Me Not!<br />I have Blowing On Dandelions on my Kindle and Wishing On Buttercups is on the way to me. Looking forward to the Oct. release of Dreaming On Daisies! I read a book on the Transcontinental RailRoad by Steven Ambrose. So much happened in the early days of the Railroad- incredible that it was finally completed. sharon, CA wileygreen1(at)yahoo(dot)comsharon mhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10130208778591424260noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4271375082145370896.post-2779443483018591152014-03-13T12:22:52.100-04:002014-03-13T12:22:52.100-04:00I remember the Zane Grey TV show but didn't re...I remember the Zane Grey TV show but didn't read his books.
