ReplyDeleteHi Jean,
ReplyDeleteI'm a long time fan of western stories, and I live in the Highlands of Scotland, where we have a history that's in many ways similar to that of the old west. Good luck with the audio books

ReplyDeleteI've only listened to two or three audio books so far. But I really enjoy Logan and Cafferty. I'd love to hear their voices acted out.
