A NOTE FROM THE PUBLISHER
The Seventh Western Novel MEGAPACK® presents four more great westerns—
Blazing Trails, by Francis W. Hilton. What happens when a cow-puncher with a lightning fast draw carries out his dying uncle’s last wish?
Indian Beef, by Harold Channing Wire. When young Barnet trail-bosses cattle north to an Indian reservation, rival cattlemen resort to low trickery to beat him to the market. Fugitive Indians, outlaws, and spies in his crew add to Barnet’s troubles!
Guns of Circle 8, by Paul Durst (writing as Jeff Cochran). A good old-fashioned shootout caps this rip-roaring western adventure!
Three-Cornered War, by Richard Wormser. Between the outlaw miners and the outraged Indians, the town was in big trouble!
Enjoy!

ABOUT THE SERIES
Over the last few years, our MEGAPACK® ebook series has grown to be our most popular endeavor. (Maybe it helps that we sometimes offer them as premiums to our mailing list!) One question we keep getting asked is, “Who’s the editor?”
The MEGAPACK® ebook series (except where specifically credited) are a group effort. Everyone at Wildside works on them. This includes John Betancourt (me), Carla Coupe, Steve Coupe, Shawn Garrett, Helen McGee, Bonner Menking, Sam Cooper, Helen McGee and many of Wildside’s authors…who often suggest stories to include (and not just their own!)
