Ghost Wood

I've been starting a lot of stories in very different genres. Feeling out for what feels right, I suppose. Currently, I'm flushing out some high level plot details for a series of (possibly) three books set in the american west: cowboy times, as it were.

I've never actually read anything written in that era, but it has always been a side interest of mine, so perhaps I should. My goal is to create a main character you both hate and love, though perhaps like and dislike would be a more realistic approach.
