Besides awards in advertising and article writing, a short story won the 2010 Oaxaca International Literature Competition and my novel The Snake Den won the 2011 Global eBook Award for western fiction. Other than that, I just write westerns and fantasy. My home is in Japan, where I live with one wife and one dog and one father-in-law, visited quite often by daughters and grandkids. I write most of my fiction by longhand, usually at Starbucks. Other writing I do on the laptop. My website is www.chucktyrell.com and my blog is www.chucktyrell-outlawjournal.blogspot.com I have a number of short stories lying around in various anthologies.
L. J. (LIVIA J.) WASHBURN
I have been writing award-winning, critically acclaimed mysteries, westerns, romances, and historical novels for thirty years. I began to write in collaboration with my husband, author James Reasoner, and soon branched out into telling my own stories. We have had a long career working together, tweaking and editing each others stories. I live in the Texas countryside with James, one of my two daughters, and my dogs. Even though I have an office, I do most of my writing in our living room sitting in a recliner with a laptop perched on the arm of the chair and two small Chihuahua/ Min Pins in my lap. It’s a great life. My website is www.liviawashburn.com, and my blog is http://liviajwashburn.blogspot.com.
TROY D. SMITH
I am from the Upper Cumberland region of Tennessee. My work has appeared in many anthologies, and in journals such as Louis L'Amour Western Magazine, Civil War Times, and Wild West. In addition, I’ve written novels in several genres—from mysteries like Cross Road Blues to the Civil War epic Good Rebel Soil. My other Civil War epic, Bound for the Promise-Land, won a Spur Award in 2001 and I was a finalist on two other occasions. Two of my short stories are finalists for this year's Peacemaker Award for western fiction. In a massive lapse of collective judgment, the membership of Western Fictioneers elected me president for 2012. I received my Ph.D. from the University of Illinois, and teach American Indian history at Tennessee Tech. My motto is: “I don’t write about things that happen to people, I write about people that things happen to.” My website is www.troyduanesmith.com , and my blog is http://tnwordsmith.blogspot.com

The Avenging Angel
Orrin Porter Rockwell is more than just a deputy United States marshal and a deadly gunfighter. He's a member of the Mormon Danites, the group of enforcers known as the Avenging Angels, and he's the personal troubleshooter for Governor Brigham Young. And when Young sends Rockwell to the rough-and-tumble mining town of Tartarus, there'll be plenty of trouble for him to shoot. A group of Mormon miners has vanished, and before Rockwell uncovers the secret of their disappearance he'll face deadly danger from all sides. What his adversaries don't know is just how dangerous the Avenging Angel is . . .
Award-winning author Michael Newton spins an action-packed, historically accurate yarn in THE AVENGING ANGEL, another exciting adventure west of the big river.

The Artist
Before he was a world-famous Western artist, Charles M. "Charlie" Russell was a horse wrangler on a ranch in Montana during the worst winter in that state's history. The danger of freezing to death while riding for the brand isn't the only threat Russell has to face, however. A ruthless band of rustlers is sweeping the range of cattle, and a beautiful but trouble-making rancher's daughter complicates Russell's life even more. He'll need more than his artistic ability to survive this deadly winter!
THE ARTIST is the latest volume in the popular West of the Big River series from the Western Fictioneers. Acclaimed author Jackson Lowry spins as entertaining a tale as any of those from Charlie Russell himself in this superb new historical novel.
West of the Big River:

Turnbo. Tangling with rustlers, bank robbers, and road agents is all in a day's work for Turnbo as he fights to bring law and order to the area around Abilene and San Angelo, Texas, but solving a deadly mystery will put Turnbo's life in more danger than ever before. It'll take all of the Ranger's wits and gun-handling skills to keep him alive as he untangles the strands of a lethal conspiracy!
