Howdy Friends,
I’m blown away by the conversations started here on this blog and very anxious to see how the story of the Sacketts unfolds. My apologies for not doing as much care and feeding of this blog as I should. I hope that we all continue talking to each other – we’ve got some great discussion here about genre, gender and generations (okay, that’s a stretch but I like the alliteration) – and I’m excited to see how these threads evolve through the series.
Since we started this thing with the intention of reading the Sackett series in publication history, the next novel is Sackett. Here’s a rundown of novels in publication history:
THE DAYBREAKERS, 1960
SACKETT, 1961
LANDO, 1962
MOJAVE CROSSING, 1964
THE SACKETT BRAND, 1965
MUSTANG MAN, 1966
THE SKY-LINERS, 1967
THE LONELY MEN 1969
GALLOWAY, 1970
RIDE THE DARK TRAIL, 1972
TREASURE MOUNTAIN, 1972,
SACKETT’S LAND, 1974
THE MAN FROM THE BROKEN HILLS, 1975
TO THE FAR BLUE MOUNTAINS, 1976
THE WARRIOR’S PATH, 1980
LONELY ON THE MOUNTAIN, 1980
RIDE THE RIVER, 1983
JUBAL SACKETT, 1985
I’m curious about the interplay between time periods here: how the expansiveness of the whole Sackett story intersects (or doesn’t) with the stretch of 25 years between first novel and last. I’m curious if we’ll make it there, as well.
So let’s get started! On to Sackett! Let’s shoot for discussion on the next novel to start July 4th. Independence Day seems like a nice occasion to start talkin’ bout another Western.
And don’t forget: we got a lot of readers who are not on the Readers page! Send me your good lookin’ mugs.
Much Love,
TammyO
