Frontier Tales Magazine 5

A project of Pen-L Publishing

About

It's been said that the publishing industry doesn't do Westerns because the market won't support them. That may be true but, it occurs to me, it's awfully hard to sell many Westerns if nobody will publish them. Sounds like a Catch-22 to me. I don't like Catch-22 situations. Damned if you do, damned if you don't. My momma used to say, "Do something. Lead, follow, or get out of the way!" So, we're going to do something. We're going to publish Westerns and other stories that deal with the raw edge, where civilization crashes into the frontier. That clash is where the action is, and that's what so many of us love to read about. So pull up a chair. The tale-telling is about to start.
