ADVANCE PRAISE

High adventure, low motives, and witty writing bring the old Wild West to fire-breathing life in Tap Dance, a tour de force by the late and truly great Robert S. Levinson. You�ll revel in characters and towns with odd names, situations that could have happened and maybe even did, and a crime-riddled tale that melds charm and suspense into a memorable novelistic brew. Put out the Do Not Disturb sign and settle in. Once you enter the wildly entertaining world of Tap Dance, you won�t want to leave.
� Gayle Lynds, New York Times best-selling author of The Assassins

A richly layered story teeming with memorable people and the times and places in which they lived, TAP DANCE is a sure winner!
� Mary Ellen Dennis, best-selling author of The Landlord�s Black-Eyed Daughter

After penning a series of popular crime novels, Levinson has done a surprising turnabout, crafting a brilliant picaresque wild west adventure that reads as if Kurt Vonnegut had taken a bold leap into Larry McMurtry territory. McDukes and Swaney, the book�s two rompin�, stompin� likeable antiheroes are great company on this breezy, breathless, and at times brutally funny gallop though a slice of almost true American history. Their reckless romances, courageous gunfights and death defying heroics, recounted with tongue-in-cheek by their amazingly adaptable pal Buchanan, deserve a spot on the same favored shelf as Thomas Berger�s LITTLE BIG MAN and Charles Portis� TRUE GRIT.
� Dick Lochte, author of "Sleeping Dog"

"An infectious narrative voice, vivid characters and lively plot make this read like a Western novel from an old pro, rather than a first Western novel. Robert Levinson has proven himself to be equally adept at any genre he chooses to write in. Swaney and McDukes are the best duo to come along since Larry McMurtry's Gus and Call in LOVESOME DOVE."
� Robert J Randisi

Bob talked about the return after ten-plus years of L.A. newspaper columnist Neil Gulliver and his ex-wife, "Sex Queen of the Soaps" Stevie Marriner, in THE STARDOM AFFAIR on the blog conducted by award-winning authorEd Gorman in his blog
