Sold out!

I ordered one of Lance Howard's books on the Hale website 9 Feb. The book was 'published' on 30 Jan. Some hours later, as predicted by Ray and others, I was notified that the book was sold out. Bad news for me - and the author. Yes, it's good news it was sold out, not so good to hear it won't be reprinted...
Still, that's a marvellous achievement to get your book sold out virtually before it is even published! Well done Howard!

From the back of the book:

Tom Ford, the sheriff of Stanton, was gunned down while trying to keep the peace between the hands of two rival ranches. Accusations of corruption against the sheriff were rife and the way things looked a range war was about to erupt.

News of Tom Ford's death reaches his son, Chris, and Marshall Sam Ward while they are hunting down a killer. With both men out of their jurisdiction and receiving no assistance from the local law, Chris returns home to face his past and to find his father's killer. The only way he can do that is by taking up his father's badge - only to discover that not everything is as it seems.
