about this book: The Traditional West is a super anthology of western short stories, collected from some of the best authors in the genre. It's published by The Western Fictioneers, a group of writers dedicated to writing about and preserving the memory of the American west.

My story in the anthology is called The Kindness of Strangers. It's the tale of a man who loses everything, even the will to live, but finds much more than he ever believed he would have in life again when he pitches in to defend a family against a band of raiders...along with a stranger's help.

There are many different kinds of stories in the book, all having to do in some way with the old west. Authors include Steven Clark, Phil Dunlap, Edward A. Grainger, James J. Griffin, Jerry Guin, C. Courtney Joyner, Jackson Lowry, Larry Jay Martin, Matthew P. Mayo, Rod Miller, Clay More, Ross Morton, Kerry Newcomb, Scott D. Parker, Pete Peterson, Cheryl Pierson, Kit Prate, Robert J. Randisi, James Reasoner, Dusty Richards, Troy D. Smith, Larry D. Sweazy, Chuck Tyrell, and L.J. Washburn.

This was a very exciting project to work on. What a collection--a bargain at any price.
