   Watch that Michael McGarrity stuff!   
      
   Don't be bad-mouthing my boy!   
      
   Somewhat more seriously, I like some of his NM-based stories, but he's not   
   exactly Old West either, so I don't talk about him in mixed company!  :-)   
      
   I asked before but got no response, has anyone read the book "The   
   Borderland" by Edwin Shrake?  I just finished it.   I wonder if this writer   
   has done any similar novels I might use for comparison.  I'm not sure how   
   I'd rate this book at this point!
