I am pleased to say that not one but two of my stories were published today. Horror story “The Annie Scam” is available to read for free at Electric Spec, and comedy ghost story “Life of the Party” is in Strangely Funny VIII and is available for purchase at Amazon. They’re very different stories, but I’m quite proud of both of them.

You can find links to them and all my published fiction on my Fiction page.

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.
