Reader Review
William isn’t the cliche strong and silent Western hero. His strange tics and uncontrolled vocalizations make him a target of every tough-guy on the plains and a pawn in every powerbroker’s scheme. “Clown William” introduces a protagonist who struggles to overcome an all-consuming affliction while searching for his moral compass and embracing his unexpected gifts. I cheered for William the way I did for classic Jimmy Stewart characters. I was thoroughly embedded in the wild and lonely world in which Elno paints this loveable character. I found myself driving through pages desperate to know how William would outwit everyone and escape with both his life and honor intact. A wonderful new Western voice, and a character you’ll want to ride in the stagecoach with for many episodes.
