Don, Just started reading War Bonnet, and can't wait to read your other books. I have been a lifelong fan of Louis L'Amour, and your style reminds me very much of his - Keep up the good work.

Dear Sir: I've successfully battled a long illness this last year, partly with alternative medicines, the love of friends and family, and your wonderful Colt series of book which kept my spirits up during some dark hours. Though unable to read for several months due to nauseating medications, family and friends read them out loud to me. I wish you long life and much success. C. Garcia Director Calif.

dear don, i've searched for you for 20 years. the 100's of times i tried to get ahold of you calling information. i was your first student at your first school in fayetteville, n.c.. i was also your neighbor in green pines trailer park. after i got out of the army, you flew me to akron, ohio to look over the set of the instructor. you'd said the character thumper was kind of based on me. do you remember? call me man...i miss ya... please... i drive truck now, have trucked 20 years, all 48 cont. states. you were such a big influence on me, like my 2nd dad; i love ya man.

Hi. Thanks for answering my e-mail. I'm from the Philippines. The book that I read was "Coyote Run". I got it from a book sale and now I'm having difficulty finding any Don Bendell book here. I guess I just got lucky. Better to have one of your book than none. Thanks a lot.

Hi. I really enjoy reading your book and it gives me an almost realistic view of the wild west. I hope to read your other books but it's not really available much in our country.

Great site. Don, you won't remember me but we met at my place in Colo. Springs for Art Cooper's college graduation barbecue. You even signed my copy of Chief of Scouts. I really enjoy the Colt series and am currently reading War Bonnet. I sure you keep the series going. Shirley, you are amazing. I don't know how you do it. You two are truly the Dynamic Duo.

Read you and Shirleys bios. Have spoken with you on several occassions here in Canon City but did not know you were a fellow buckeye. I to was born and raised in Ohio, Marion to be exact. My brother was program director and production manager of a t.v. station in Youngstown in the late 50's. We both worked in tv in Columbus and Pittsburgh

I typed in 'hot sex' and this is what my computer came up with. This is not a very good porn site, all the people have their clothes on. Other than that it's a great improvement over last time when I got here by accidentally typing Don Bendell into a search engine while thinking i was at amazon.com. I really like your new design too, it's much easier to navigate.

Hello Don & Family! I just wanted to tell you that I read your two books 'B-52 Overture' and 'Crossbow'. I have a lot of military books and they are two of my fav-o-rites! I've read 'Overture' 3 times and even sent an extra copy to a friend. Your help for the Montagnards is a great thing. I never served in the military but had 3 brothers and two nephews who served in Viet-Nam. Your site looks great and I have it bookmarked. Good luck in all that you do. Your friend, 'Red'

Don and Shirley, I visited your site and loved it, but what amazed me was that you, Don, are still so incredibly good-looking, yet one of the most modest people I have ever known. Keep up the good work.
