New review for Hard Times

 Hi folks,

Just got a new review on Amazon by one of the writers I respect the most. Thanks, Doc!

Neil Smith

5.0 out of 5 stars Confounds your expectations.

I've read and loved a lot of Les' books, but this one confounded

 my expectations. It reminds me a lot of Flannery O'Connor's 

stories, where the whole world goes to hell and *then* things

 get worse. I thought this was going to be a rural love story

 with the looming specter of violence. But when it goes off

 the rails, wow, it really goes off the rails. And explodes. And 

attacks like a pack of feral dogs.

Three cheers, Butch. What a wild ride.

Blue skies,

Les
