It's Release Day for "Follow the Lonesome Trail"

Are you ready for some brand-new western fun?

I hope so, because today is release day for the wild west anthology Follow the Lonesome Trail!  This new collection boasts stories by Allison Tebo, Hannah Kaye, A. Hartley, Emily Hayse, Elisabeth Grace Foley, and Rachel Kovaciny (aka me).  My short story in this book is called "Safekeeping." 

When Allison Tebo first reached out a year or so ago and asked if I had any unpublished short western stories lying around looking for a home, I told her I didn't... but I had one in my head I would love to write.  The resulting story, "Safekeeping," is a story of second chances and hope.  A loner learns that he's inherited a poke of gold, but it's in the clutches of a greedy bartender, and he has to come up with a creative solution to get what's rightfully his.  Along the way, he helps out a whole lot of other people and just might find himself a place to belong.

Here's what one reader had to say about it:

You can buy Follow the Lonesome Trail as a paperback and ebook today!  It's also available for Kindle Unlimited readers.  And you can check out more reviews (and review it yourself once you've read it) right here on Goodreads.

If you're on Instagram, I invite you to join me there at 1pm (CST) for a live video chat where I will read the first scene from "Safekeeping" aloud to you -- and I might have time to answer a few questions, too.

If you want to know more about the other books I've written, you can check out this page on this blog or my author website.

(And if you're curious if we planned for Legends of Western Cinema Week to coincide with this book's release, the answer is no!  This book was originally slated to release in September, but it was ready early and we authors collectively agreed to release it early instead of making people wait for it.  So it's a coincidence, but I like it!)
