It's interesting that an, I assume, U.K. author writes westerns and a U.K. publisher publishes them, considering the fact that the "old west" was an uniquely and entirely American phenomenon.
But that doesn't keep them from doing a good job of it! No Americans today lived in that time, so American authors of westerns have to do research. And foreigners can do that just as well as anyone. In my opinion, probably the three best westerns ever produced were produced and/or directed by an Italian--Leone is his last name, I don't remember his given name. Those westerns were the trilogy of "spaghetti westerns" with Clint Eastwood (
The Good, Bad, and Ugly, et al.)
