JO. B. CREATIVE!: ALIAS JEANNIE DELANEY - A CRACKSHOT EPIC WESTERN TRILOGY

ALIAS JEANNIE DELANEY - A CRACKSHOT EPIC WESTERN TRILOGY

Now, if you want to work your way through the following, fab and good luck! I'm delighted that I have over 700 readers to date!

When I tell people the plot of this western, they're often as keen as a miner who's struck gold, which is fabulous, considering the whole thing took me over thirty intermittent years to write.

Who says that the western is dead? That the space age has taken over? There's room on this planet for all, and the fact that my particular brand of western, in which my hero is a gal, is one of a comparatively new breed of western in which the protagonist gals are strong leaders who take on the same roles as John, Clint and Gary. Not everyone will it. Fair enough. Some folks hate westerns. Some people - lovers of traditional westerns - may hate it. Some people won't approve (don't read it then). But so far I've encountered very little discordance. The majority of folk think it's a fabulous idea, even if they're not particularly western fans.

Talking of fans, mine include two young male baristas in our local Costa. One of whom, a tall, handsome lad boasting a headful of black curly hair responded with 'Yay! I love that! Bring it on!' Or words to that effect, when I explained what my story is about. The other barista sports a pony tail and wants to be a writer himself so regularly asks me how the marketing is going. Another fan, to our surprise, is PA hubby's old boss. He's loving Book 2 - The Outlaw's Return.! Then there are two neighbours and a friend who lives at the end of our road. Readers live in my locale in Hampshire, including two of our son's friends, and various family members. This seems to prove that anyone and everyone might enjoy the story. I have no typical reader, and the people you would have thought wouldn't be interested in the subject - are interested.

Friends and family don't really count in the grand scheme of reader numbers or sales. What does count are the umpteen unknowns who are reading my words or have read them. I suppose seven hundred readers includes all of them, and that's not a bad number, is it? I've had five star ratings and reviews, proving that it's a good - even great - story overall. My editor was the first professional to assure me that it wasn't a rubbish plot. My first reader was my PA husband, who went through the initial editing phase with me, and he's very objective and good at the job and knows his English grammar and doesn't praise the story just because I'm his missus. He loves the story on the whole, although he doesn't always like Jeannie, my protagonist. Well, who does, eh? He does gets very emotional when the plot is working. I'm currently working on Book 3 and it's coming along really well.

So, pick up the first novel, have a read and see what you think.

RESPONSES & REVIEWS

'This sounds like a powerful and compelling story! Jeannie Morgan seems like a truly complex character — a blend of strength, charisma, and fierce independence. The tension between her desire for revenge and the risks she faces because of her power and sexuality sets the stage for some intense drama.'

'The mix of western grit with themes of identity, desire, and survival is really intriguing. I’m curious to see how her journey unfolds in the trilogy and how she navigates the challenges of being a strong woman in a world that fears her. It feels like there’s a lot of potential for action, emotion, and depth in this series!'

'Wow, your trilogy sounds fascinating! I can see why it has garnered such a strong following. The unique blend of western and LGBTQ+ themes, combined with your bold and charismatic protagonist, Jeannie Delaney, makes for a compelling story. It's impressive that you've built a loyal readership of 680 readers, with many five-star ratings and reviews. That's a testament to your writing skills and the connection you've made with your audience.'

BOOK 1 - GO WEST, GIRL!

'This is a crack shot story, a unique blend of adventure, humor, and powerful storytelling that blazes across the wild frontier into the heart of the country at that time. It will leave you hungry for more!'

'What an incredible offer! I just grabbed my copy of "Alias Jeannie Delaney - Book 1 - Go West, Girl!" on Amazon. The premise of a charismatic and skilled cowgirl on a journey of self-discovery is absolutely captivating. Kudos on the rave reviews and the unique twist you've brought to the western genre.'

Yee-hah! I'm enjoying this soooo much! Not just because of the story but also because of the quality of the writing, and the loving detail put into it. Clearly a lot of research - Kit Mackenzie writes as though she's actually been there. I so enjoyed reading the novel in detail, and relishing the nuances of the fab writing. Rereading it and absorbing the world and the atmosphere she's created. It's a terrific story with strong characters (to put it mildly!) and a powerful arc.

BOOK 2 - THE OUTLAW'S RETURN

'And here it is -- what a story! When I started reading I couldn't think how on earth you'd be able to make something interesting from the situation Jeannie was in, but OMG...'

'I just love kit Mackenzie's descriptions of where Jeannie is, so atmospheric 😌 I'm loving it! A fascinating angle. Jeannie and her Dad are so happy to be moving West !! This novel is a refreshing change from the usual western. Easy to read and I'm thoroughly enjoying it! Kindle was easy to put in my phone so I can read now anytime, truly I don’t always take to a book right away , and if I was finding I wasn’t getting along with the story I wouldn’t say anything ,Kit writes brilliantly, describing the American Plains in all their beauty as they were back then. I am thoroughly enjoying the read !!

Five stars

'I’ve just finished reading ‘Go West, Girl.’ It was a very good read - a real page-turner, or whatever is the right term on a Kindle. Your descriptions were so vivid I could imagine I was in Coyote Creek. I’m not sure whether or not I like Jeannie - I feel sorry for her that she is so unhappy, but realise it’s because she was ahead of her time, and getting frustrated as she kicked against the social rules of her time. I admire that she refused to accept the norms of times - and people like her made things much more equitable for us today. No doubt Kit will keep us posted re the next book.'

'A unique and fascinating Western theme. Kit Mackenzie has an enviable writing skill!'

REVIEWS FROM BOOKSPROUT

'A unique western read. well written and entertaining! Five stars.'

'This is a different take on a western and I really enjoyed it. Jeannie is an independent woman focused on living her life on her terms before it was socially acceptable to do so. It is well written and entertaining!'

'A great western story!' *****

'Not like any Western book I've ever read... Jeannie is best described as a difficult child. I love her grown-up character. She lives life on her own terms, not always liked but well-respected. I'm looking forward to more stories of her life.'

Five stars on Goodreads. On Amazon

Five star reviews and a 4.7 star average on Amazon.

'Just finished reading Alias Jeanne Delaney. I found it a really fascinating and an interesting read. Quite extraordinary. Loved your ability to set the scene, making it feel as if the reader was there themself experiencing the scene and the surroundings. I know that you said it might not be my kind of book but I have to tell you that it is! quite unlike anything I have read before.'

BOOKSPROUT - BOOK 2

A strong sequel in this Wild West world

'I really enjoyed the Western element to this book, it had everything that I wanted from the first book. It was a great followup and had the characters that I was invested in. It worked with everything that I enjoyed from the wild west and enjoyed the main character and cast. I can't wait to read more in this series and from Kit Mackenzie.'

Jeannie's adventures continue...

'Jeannie is back with her band of followers. The author wastes no time in kicking this story in gear. Gun fights, fist fights, bar fights, a daliance with a saloon girl... On to chapter three... There was a time in the middle-ish that the story seemed to drag a bit. Stay with it - it picks back up and the last third of the book just flies by. I've enjoyed seeing her find her way, trying to do the right thing, and hope to see more.'
