I like The Man From the Brazos because the plot was well done and makes you think as you read. So many westerns are fun to read, but they don't stick in your memory very long. This book will stay with you. Ermal is developing into an excellent western writer."

"I found I really liked reading about the younger version of Matt Jorgenson and how he became known as a quick draw. It is obvious that Mr. Williamson is more comfortable with the pen in this story as it flows along quite well and the story always keeps the reader interested in what is going to happen next. The characterization is wonderful and the evolution of Matt into a quick draw is a pleasure to absorb. A lot of westerns don't really delve into much historical relevance, but The Man from the Brazos is rich with historical importance. You won't regret picking up this book and letting it take you back Kansas almost 150 years ago.” Conan Tigard http://www.bookbrowser.com/Reviews/WilliamsonErmalWalden/manfromthebrazos.html

To be honest . . . I didn’t know what to think, as you approached me outside of the store in Old Scottsdale. Dressed as “The Duke”; and, just as commanding. Initially, I was put off. I usually push back, and walk on. But, for some reason, I decided to listen….for just a bit. A patience that rarely hangs around me, for long.

I sensed sincerity and passion. So, I gave you the benefit of the doubt. . . . I finished “The Man from the Brazos” last night. I have to say, it was quite refreshing.

Consistently true. What I’d like to call, “Wholesome”. Your story truly painted a picture of the “Old West”. It captured the MORALS, we are direly missing today. Right and Wrong were Cut and Dry. Justice was True and Quick. Men treated Women with Respect. (At least, your heroes did.)

I am so pleased that I paused to meet you, and purchase your book. I’m now trying to purchase the next book in your series.



Thank You,
