It's been too long since we've published one of these. It is not indicative of a lack of good quality writing out there, as you'll see when you read these. Frankly, we've been in a bit of a funk here at WWTFT. Character and liberty seem to be under attack from every conceivable quarter. Whether it's Second Amendment Rights, governance by fiat in blatant disregard of the Constitution and ignoring court rulings (recess appointments), elevating homosexuality to the status of race by the President in his disgusting inaugural address, the BSA's rethinking of its longstanding policy against homosexual troop leaders, John Kerry as Secretary of State, Chuck Hegel as Secretary of Defense, the Gabby Gifford sympathy play... the list goes on.

The Shut Mouth Society is a potboiler of the first order. James Best fans will be surprised as the author steps a bit outside of his regular genre, the classic American Western, and gives hero Steve Dancy a break. This reviewer wasn't sure what to expect as Jim has been fairly close mouthed about the book himself, except to say that this book is his wife's favorite.* After reading it, it's easy to see why.
