Big Changes in the Western Publishing World!

My friend and publisher J.C. Hulsey ()the Old Cowboy), of Outlaws Publishing, is retiring. My books that were issued by Outlaws were moved to another, back to Outlaws, and are now officially out of print/circulation. All is not lost, though. All those titles will move over to DS Publications, which has my Caleb Johnson, Lincoln Croft, Jacob Blade, and other series. So, fans of Tom Steele and some of the others please be patient

For Bass Reeves fan, more good news. I ran it past Nick Wales, the smartest publicist in the business, and my online chess partner, about combining the 13 or 14 Bass Reeves stories I’ve written into several multi-story volumes. Working on that now and hope to have the first one available no later than the end of April.

Wishing the Old Cowboy the best in retirement. He’s one of a kind and the western genre owes him a great debt.
