Through Saturday, Oct 20, you can pre-order copies of my new 1881 western, The Double X, at scottdvaughan.com. The book will be published in mid-to-late October in both paperback and hardback editions. This special pre-order campaign includes several benefits that won’t be offered after Oct. 20. Your participation helps promote the book and, like a crowdfunding campaign, generates cash to offset final publication expenses. Thank you!
Below is a review of the book from my final proofreader, Whitney Williams. ~ Scott

I am so appreciative of those who purchase my book, Room 320 at the Wilson World Hotel, and leave a rating/review on Amazon or Goodreads. Room 320 is a short, Gospel-focused book with application for everyone. I wrote it for me and you, and all those we know, and also those we love.
