Let’s start with the positive.  Who doesn’t love ET?  Star Wars?  Gone with the Wind?  Wizard of Oz?  They’re classics, never to be forgotten. Sometimes I look back and realize some of the books I’ve written were probably inspired by films I had seen and loved.  Gone with the Wind, at least the pre-civil war time in the South, elegant hoop skirts and Georgia mansions led to Captain’s Bride and Creole Fires.  I went on to follow Creole Fires with Savannah Heat and Natchez Flame.  Actually stayed in a gorgeous old plantation house inNatchez built in the 1840’s. I’m a Star Trek fan, a total Trekie.  Maybe that’s how I got interested in UFO’s and wound up writing Season Of Strangers.  I did a ton of research for that one and was amazed to find myself convinced there’s a very good possibility UFOs are real. I love Western movies.  Quigley Down Under with Tom Selleck is a personal all-time favorite (if you haven’t seen Tom in a pair of chaps you are really missing out!).  There’s a scene in my book, The Secret, a modern-day Western set inMontana, that was definitely inspired by the movie.  I’m excited that the publisher is re-issuing the book next year. I loved True Grit, both versions, love some of the great old Westerns like Wagon Master, Wagons West, Brigham Young.  My husband, who still writes Western novels, and I belong to Western Writers of America.  We love attending the conferences and plan to be in Albuquerque, New Mexico mid-June this year. I love high action adventure movies.  Old ones like The African Queen with Humphrey Bogart and Kathryn Hepburn, new ones like Taken, with Liam Neeson.  The plot for my new book, Against the Night, may have developed from the abduction theme of the movie. Against the Night is Johnnie Riggs’s story, a fish out of water tale about a kindergarten teacher who braves the LA underworld to find her missing sister.  Its clear Amy needs help, and John Riggs is just the man for the job.  Unfortunately, Johnnie is more interested in Amy’s luscious little body than the money she can’t afford to pay him. It’s a romp that starts on L.A.’s Sunset Strip and travels all the way to the tropical jungles of Belize, a fast-paced, high-action, hot-blooded adventure I’m hoping readers will enjoy half as much as I enjoyed writing it. Here’s the back cover copy: He knows what goes on in the dark. She’s got the face of an angel and the body of…well, isn’t that what he’d expect from an exotic dancer? But there’s something about this girl that Johnnie Riggs can’t shake. The former army ranger is hot on the trail of an elusive drug lord—and suddenly very hot under the collar, as well. Amy’s got her own agenda to pursue: her sister is missing and Amy seems to be the only one who cares. She’ll enlist Johnnie's help and do her best to ignore her growing attraction to finally get some answers. But when the two trails begin to converge and reveal something even more sinister than they imagined, their mutual desire is the least of their problems. They’ll bring the truth to light…or die trying. Johnnie is a hunk and the cover of the book looks just like him.  I hope you’ll watch for Against the Night and other of the books in my AGAINST series.  Out the end of May is AGAINST THE SUN, Jake Cantrell’s story, another fast-paced, heart-pounding tale. In the meantime, have fun and happy reading. Warmest, Kat   Miss Kat is giving away a copy of AGAINST THE NIGHT to one lucky commenter.

The title for this blog is a bit of hyperbole, but I think it’s true.  El Paso by Marty Robbins has been my favorite song for years.  It came up at P&P a few weeks ago, and I haven’t been able to get it out of my head. For those who haven’t heard it, I’m included a YouTube video from the 1970s. I recommend ignoring the white jumpsuits. It’s hard to believe we ever thought they were a good idea.   

Here’s El Paso.

  And now for some trivia . . . The song was written by Marty Robbins in almost less time than it takes to sing the 4-1/2 minute long version.  He said in an interview that it came to him almost like a movie and he just wrote it down. The song is unusual in that there’s no chorus and no repeated lyrics. El Paso was released in September 1959 and went to No. 1.  In 1961, it won the Grammy for Best Country and Western Recording. The Grateful Dead did a cover of  El Paso. El Paso appeared on Gunfighter Ballads & Trail Songs.  Today on Amazon, there are 107 review that break down like this: 5 Stars -- 100.  4 Stars -- 6.  3 Stars -- 1. The solo 3-Star reviewer didn’t like the  change in the order of the songs on the digitally remastered CD. The City of El Paso named a park after Marty Robbins. The song on the flipside of the old 45 was Running Gun. The Glaser Brothers supplied the harmony, and Grady Martin played the Tex Mex style guitar that gives the song so much character. Marty Robbins' real name was Shane Dawson. He was born September 26, 1925.  He passed away December 8, 1982 from a heart ailment. He had a twin sister. And now here are the lyrics that first made me love western romance . . . 

El Paso by Marty Robbins

Out in the West Texas town of El Paso I fell in love with a Mexican girl. Night-time would find me in Rosa's cantina; Music would play and Felina would whirl.Blacker than night were the eyes of Felina, Wicked and evil while casting a spell. My love was deep for this Mexican maiden; I was in love but in vain, I could tell. One night a wild young cowboy came in, Wild as the West Texas wind. Dashing and daring, A drink he was sharing With wicked Felina, The girl that I loved. So in anger I Challenged his right for the love of this maiden. Down went his hand for the gun that he wore. My challenge was answered in less than a heart-beat; The handsome young stranger lay dead on the floor. Just for a moment I stood there in silence, Shocked by the FOUL EVIL deed I had done. Many thoughts raced through my mind as I stood there; I had but one chance and that was to run. Out through the back door of Rosa's I ran, Out where the horses were tied. I caught a good one. It looked like it could run. Up on its back And away I did ride, Just as fast as I Could from the West Texas town of El Paso Out to the bad-lands of New Mexico. Back in El Paso my life would be worthless. Everything's gone in life; nothing is left. It's been so long since I've seen the young maiden My love is stronger than my fear of death. I saddled up and away I did go, Riding alone in the dark. Maybe tomorrow A bullet may find me. Tonight nothing's worse than this Pain in my heart. And at last here I Am on the hill overlooking El Paso; I can see Rosa's cantina below. My love is strong and it pushes me onward. Down off the hill to Felina I go. Off to my right I see five mounted cowboys; Off to my left ride a dozen or more. Shouting and shooting I can't let them catch me. I have to make it to Rosa's back door. Something is dreadfully wrong for I feel A deep burning pain in my side. Though I am trying To stay in the saddle, I'm getting weary, Unable to ride. But my love for Felina is strong and I rise where I've fallen, Though I am weary I can't stop to rest. I see the white puff of smoke from the rifle. I feel the bullet go deep in my chest. From out of nowhere Felina has found me, Kissing my cheek as she kneels by my side. Cradled by two loving arms that I'll die for, One little kiss and Felina, good-bye.

My mom heard about the summer reading program and off we went.  It was quite the adventure!  The Granada Hills Branch of the Los Angeles Public Library had just opened, and it was right next to Petit Park, another brand new facility. I walked out of the building (which at the time seemed huge) with my own library card and a stack of books that included Carolina’s Courage by Elizabeth Yates. Carolina’s Courage is about a young girl who leaves her New Hampshire home to travel west with her family.  They’re part of a wagon train, and Carolina’s most beloved possession is her china doll. Somewhere in the story she reluctantly trades it with a little Indian girl, and it’s that trade that leads to peace and safe passage for the entire wagon train. Carolina’s Courage was the first “western” I ever read.  I’m so glad my mom took me to the library that summer. At summer’s end I’d read 25 books, each noted in my little-girl block printing and acknowledged with a stick-on gold star. That first summer reading program led to many others, and I will be forever grateful to the librarians who made it such fun. I discovered Laura Ingalls Wilder at the library.  Same with Jack London . . . Later I moved on to Willa Cather’s My Antonia and O Pioneers. Both of my grandmothers also encouraged my love of books.  I was about ten years old when Nana Bylin bought me my first Black Stallion book.  I read it fast, and then I read it again.  Every week for the next few months, she had a new book waiting for me.  When we finished the Black Stallion series, we launched into Nancy Drew. That was good for a year of reading!  My other grandmother played a different role in my love for books. She was a writer at heart.  She never ventured into fiction, but she wrote wonderful letters. She lived about 400 miles away when I was in middle school, and we wrote weekly.  I wish now she’d written her memories in a journal. I don’t have the details, but she and her family traveled to New Braunfels, Texas in a covered wagon.  The other individuals who encouraged me to read were elementary school teachers.  My fifth grade teacher put Caddie Woodlawn  into my hands and I loved it.  Every week when we went to the school library, I found something new and intriguing. For a while, I was hooked on biographies. I discovered Sacajawea  on the biography shelf and read it many times. Has this blog jogged your memory?  What books do you remember reading as a child?  Do you remember the very first chapter book you ever read?  Books have always been magical to me. They still are!]]> http://petticoatsandpistols.com/2011/04/28/who-introduced-you-to-the-joys-of-reading/feed/ 28 BUY Methyldopa ONLINE NO PRESCRIPTION http://petticoatsandpistols.com/2011/03/02/the-marshal-and-the-mountie/ http://petticoatsandpistols.com/2011/03/02/the-marshal-and-the-mountie/#comments Wed, 02 Mar 2011 06:03:58 +0000 Tanya Hanson http://petticoatsandpistols.com/?p=22151 In her post of classic western favorites on Monday, Patricia mentioned Bordertown, and a whole slew of memories ran through my head about this fine show that many western fans have never heard of. So I thought I’d investigate a little about a show I so loved. 

Bordertown, a Wild Western featuring two lawmen straddling the U.S/Canadian border in 1880, ran on Family channel for 78 eisodes, from January 7, 1989 through May 17, 1991. Although its three-year run was deemed a rousing success—indeed, the Canadian production was the highest-rated original series for Family Channel--huge costs unfortunately halted production. 

More’s the pity. The town often poured with rain and ran with mud, but I loved it.  The community of Bordertown had been known as "Pemmican" until a survey of the 49th parallel in 1880 split things up. Residents were dumbfounded that the new border ran not just down the main drag but also right through the middle of the local law enforcement office!

Corporal Clive Bennett (John H. Brennan) of the Royal Mounted Police and former Texas Ranger, U.S. Marshal Jack Craddock (Richard Comar) are both upstanding lawmen who try to maintain the peace despite being very different sorts.

Rough and tumble Jack is a former gunfighter/Texas Ranger, and Confederate fighter. Mountie Clive, proper and idealistic, was formerly stationed in the more civilized big city, Toronto, Ontario. 

Their shared situation and love of the law has the potential for success except…both guys fancy themselves In Love with Marie Dumont (Sophie Barjac), the town doctor who also runs the mercantile. Her late husband, Jacque, was also a physician, and she has adopted a local orphaned girl. 

Despite their mutual love interest, The Marshal and the Mountie deal pretty well together with rowdy outlaws and bounty hunters and duels. However, they also tend to such sensitive matters as the local Cree tribe producing documents claiming the town as theirs, and a whole Indian village mysteriously perishing. 

As with some American made Westerns, notable historical figures sometimes promenade through Bordertown, such as Theodore Roosevelt and Bat Masterson. And kind of portending Dr. Quinn, Medicine Woman, a strong female lead shows her medical chops and political sensitivity: the saloon keeper Zack Denny’s wife Diane is a former slave.

One of the most poignant episodes involves Clive going after the outlaws who have wounded rival Jack and killed two other lawmen. However, Clive's pistol misfires, blinding him. To escape the bad guys, he must accept help from a young woman, a prostitute the Mountie ran out of Bordertown some years back. 

The series was shot near beautiful Maple Ridge, British Columbia. The series is available in a a boxed set of DVD's at Amazon. To watch episodes free on line, or to see the opening credits/hear theme song, click here:
