I wrote to him and his wife, Janet, many moons ago, and they were very encouraging to me as a young author. <br /><br />My old shotgun has a pretty good kick that taught me the first time I used it that if I didn't butt it up against my shoulder before I pulled the trigger, it would dislocate that shoulder for me free of charge! I can imagine Steven's laughter at considering your character with a double-barrel.<br /><br />Thanks for reading.

I once asked Stephen Bly who was an antique weapons' expert, for help with selecting a gun for a female character who was going to be on her own in Deadwood at a time when no lady should have been alone. I'd selected something I thought would work. Steve was very gracious when he corrected my choice and then teased me that the real thing for Mattie would have been a double-barreled shotgun. He said, "Of course, if she has to fire it, the recoil will knock her into Wyoming ... but it'd definitely do the trick." I can still hear him laughing as he said it, even though he's been in heaven many years. Again, thank you for an informative post!
