Excerpt
"Do you have nothing to say before I pronounce the sentence?" the gravely-voiced jurist asked, expecting no reply. He began to shuffle papers as if the judgment was a certainty. Now he was looking down at the defendant with an expression of extreme dissatisfaction.
"Then by the power vested in me by the federal government, I hereby sentence you to hang by the neck until you are dead, dead, dead!" the judge said, bringing the gavel down with a final force. He looked up and immediately dismissed this breaker of criminal laws as if it a duty to be done and he had done it.

SERIAL KILLER
"If you think that psychopathology is a modern-day affliction, think again.
Bobby R. Woodall has taken us to a place where we'd least expect to find this
very serious personality disorder.
His main character, without a hint of a conscience, travels the countryside,
paving a road of murder for his hapless victims, and all without so much as a
blink of an eye. We see a madman at work as his devious deeds are expertly
executed with cold precision, for his own self-gain and self-satisfaction.
His crime sprees are artfully woven within the charm and hardships of the Old
West, where the rule-who lives and who dies-is decided on a whim.
If you enjoy Westerns and the old Southwest, CLEARWATER, is a must read. Mr.
Woodall keeps us hanging till the end. If you seek a sense of justice, in a
time where there was little, the ending of this novel should prove to be very
satisfying for you."

MOTION PICTURE
"The story is great and it's written in a way that once you start reading you MUST know what will happen. If i have to give a quotation on it (let's say on 5) I'll give the novel 4 on 5. Clearwater will be a success, and I won't be surprised to see a motion picture in a few years called Clearwater." -Erwin Vanhomwegen, Brussels, Belgium
MOVIE
"I am from a very small town in Oklahoma. I read this book over and over, and it is one of the best since Lonesome Dove! I expect Clearwater to be made into a movie one day!" -Ruby Starr, Marlow, Oklahoma
