My Tombstone article was published last weekend in the Washington Post Magazine. Great to see it come to fruition, although I feel as if I could yet write a great deal more - and perhaps will, for that matter.
Readers' responses sent to the Washington Post have run the gamut: from "how can you glorify such despicable people [the Earps and the cowboys, not today's Tombstone residents] and such gun violence?" to "I think you missed important pieces of information," to "Thank you, what a great article."
Most important to me, however, has been the response from those who matter the most: the people in Tombstone who helped me so much with the story - and who have thanked me for "getting" the town in a way so few people do. That means a great deal.
