The Guns of Retribution turns one!

September 10, 2012 by Icy Sedgwick 3 Comments

It’s truly hard to believe that it’s been a whole year since my first published book, The Guns of Retribution, appeared for the Kindle. Published by Pulp Press, my pulp adventure set in the Old West tells the story of bounty hunter Grey O’Donnell, caught up in a blast from his past as he tries to bring a murderer to justice. I’ve had good reviews, and I wanted to take this opportunity to really celebrate its first anniversary – after all, it’s not every day that you can celebrate a whole year of your first book.

I’ve lined up a series of guest posts at various blogs, starting with my post about The Guns of Retribution as primarily a pulp story over at the exceptionally talented Heath Lowrance’s blog, Psycho Noir. Heath has been very supportive of Guns over the past year, and I’ve really appreciated his support. I even reviewed his own Western, Miles to Little Ridge, which you can read about here. I’ll also be looking at my favourite aspects of the Old West over the next fortnight.

But wait! There’s more!

I also edited my Dead Man’s Hand trilogy which appeared on my blog as three successive Friday flashes, and I’ve put them into one collection, along with the first chapter of The Guns of Retribution as a sample to whet your appetite. The events of Part I of Dead Man’s Hand kick off the events of The Guns of Retribution so it’s a nice snippet of back story!

If you decide you want to read more of The Guns of Retribution, you can buy the Kindle version here. I have a limited number of paperbacks, so email me at icy [at] icysedgwick [dot] come if you want to buy a signed copy!
