MUST GET THIS BOOK TO WRITE MORE REALISTIC 3:10 TO YUMA PORN.
Next time I have an Amazon gift certificate, I'm getting the hell outta that book.
I did a fair amount of research for TTBtM, which takes place around the same time period as Yuma, last year and then a little more when I started work on the second draft.

Here's another interesting link about writing: Villains vs. antagonists by Marie Brennan.
