   McMurtry is still writing westerns of course.   
   He has just completed a trilogy that is rather   
   funky, but fun reading. Nothing like Lonsesome Dove   
   though. Have you read any of Elmer Kelton?   
   And Tony Hillerman has been gaining readers   
   around the world with his 'mystery' novels set   
   in Indian country. Lately I notice a large   
   increase in the number of women writing westerns,   
   usually love stories in violent western settings.
