MEXICO UNPUBLISHED

Posted on by

I’ve unpublished this story on Amazon for the Kindle, because I decided to include it in a new collection, Twelve Western Stories, which I’ll be publishing in a month or two.

The story concerns two people who meet on the Hurricane deck of a steamboat traveling between Vicksburg and New Orleans in the year 1865. The young woman knows too little of life, the young man too much. They find themselves swept up in a reckless and most extraordinary adventure . . .

My neo-noir pulp thriller Bloodbath is still available for the Kindle on Amazon.

I’ve unpublished this story on Amazon for the Kindle, because I decided to include it in a new collection, Twelve Western Stories, which I’ll be publishing in a month or two.

The story concerns a hapless bounty hunter who partners up with an orphan girl on a grand but brief adventure.  It may remind you a bit of True Grit, but it goes somewhere else.

This was the first thing I ever e-published, and led directly to the new collection of stories.  My Facebook friend Polly Frost, whose own books and e-books can be had at this link, made me do it — or at least persuaded me that I had no excuse not to do it.

Some music to go with my series of swamp-themed paperback covers. This Stephen Foster song from 1847 was his first big hit on the minstrel circuit and was the signature song for one group of black minstrel singers.
