I'm allowed to be pretty excited about my first book release, right? I mean, I hope I will be this excited about every one!
I cannot tell you how much I have enjoyed working on this project. My deepest appreciation goes to my two wonderful co-editors, Misty Massey and Emily Lavin Leverett, and all the authors and writers who gave us such wonderful stories--even those we could unfortunately not include.
When I started reading through the original "slush" pile, I read the first nine stories, thinking, "meh, okay..." Then I read Frances Rowat's "Abishag Mary" and I leaped up, shouting "Yes!" and doing my dorky happy dance in front of the computer.
The rest of the
Weird Wild West are the other stories that made me--and my co-editors--jump up and say "Yes!"
They're really terrific tales! You're welcome.
So what's all the hubbub about?
The back cover blurb:
The untamed frontier is a challenge, a test of character, a proving
ground for the soul. It's a place where pioneers rewrite their future,
or end their days…for better or worse. In the spirit of Bret Maverick,
Cat Ballou, Kwai Chang Caine, and James West, The Weird Wild West blends
western grit with the magical and mysterious unknown that waits beyond
the next horizon.
With thrilling stories by Jonathan Maberry, Gail
Z. Martin and Larry N. Martin, John G. Hartness, RS Belcher, Diana
Pharaoh Francis, Misty Massey, James R. Tuck, Robert E. Waters, David
Sherman, Tonia Brown, Liz Colter, Scott Hungerford, Frances Rowat, Ken
Schrader, Bryan C.P. Steele, Wendy N. Wagner, and a bonus story by New
York Times bestselling-author Faith Hunter, you've hit the Mother Lode!
