Of course, I'm more interested in his messy personal life...Loved your book, Shot Through the Heart!Patti Sherry-Crewshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07239195135892487184noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4152821032321828999.post-35739874682364603802021-02-17T10:24:05.345-08:002021-02-17T10:24:05.345-08:00Gini, what a clever idea for you to include Colt i...Gini, what a clever idea for you to include Colt in yr book like that!

As for Sam Colt, I did suddenly think how often we write about Colts but I for one knew nothing about the man himself.Andrea Downinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11553961600937196102noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4152821032321828999.post-70298083039769982872021-02-17T06:37:10.460-08:002021-02-17T06:37:10.460-08:00Hi Andrea: Many times I've used a Colt in my s...Hi Andrea: Many times I've used a Colt in my stories, so it was fun to learn about the man himself. I've never researched him, and especially like the part about his schooling and sailing, how the ship's wheel gave him an idea. <br />Your excerpt is wonderful! Pulled me right in. Best wishes with the story. Hugs! Julie Lencehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03000865899885820362noreply@blogger.com
