About two years ago I noticed that there seemed to be few outlets for writers to publish Western stories, even though there seemed to be a demand for them. So, I got the idea to publish my own. I reached out to several people I knew would be interested in writing something, and they in turn recommended a few other writers. I also reached out to a number of artists I knew could provide excellent illustrations for each one of these tales. Two years and a number of hard lessons learned about self-publishing later, I am proud to say that Eight Gunshots: Stories of the Wild West is now available at Amazon.com in both print and kindle versions. You’ll find some excellent stories covering a wide range of viewpoints and story types in this magazine. You’ll even have the chance to read “The Sins of Peste Negra Rodriguez,” the story I wrote that started this whole journey.
Please pick up a copy if you have a chance. You’ll get some fantastic stories and you may even discover your new favorite writer.
