The Tales of the Wild West.

An Alluring Glorification of the Mighty Gunfighter.

Truth is, the more fools terminated by my steel, the more evil destroyed, the more souls collected, the more the darkness took notice.

I stand above a boy, no more than sixteen. He grips his chest with every hope of stopping the bleeding. He begs, mumbles, "Please." He knows though, he knows these are his last breaths. His eyes full of sorrow, tears form, he sneezes and coughs blood, death turns his eyes black. For him the glory comes to an end. 

For me, another soul, another echo in the darkness. The Spirits in the wind, despair, agony, torturous laughter, no one told me.

Other Great Authors @ Solstice Publishing

Daniel Chamberlain "Battle Of Fortune Wells." 

In 1877, a group of Comanche fighters left the reservations with the aim of clearing the land of any white settlers they found whether man, woman or child. Caught in the middle of this Comanche war is a Deputy U.S. Marshal, Tomas Killain who witnesses first hand the brutality being meted out against those who dare to make homes on the land that once belonged to the free-roaming Comanche.

G.B. Miller "Line 21." 

Flat broke with no job, Jeannie was terrified of becoming just like one of her uncle’s deadbeat customers. Even though she was able to smooth-talk her way into a five-day extension of her loan, she was still stuck in the same dead-end with the same problem: no money.

For now feel free to checkout the interview with Vernon Sheilds of FTA.

In a twist of fate, I was able to arrange some face-to-face time with  Mr. Sheilds, an important part of the new release at Solstice Publishing, “From the Ashes.”

It is a Wild West Adventure, action packed, fantasy experience.

Interviews are hard to come by with Mr. Sheilds, so needless to say I was honored. Without further a due…

SlantedK Presents:

Thanks for the great response on part one. Today I reversed the decision to break it into more parts.

"What's that, DMK?"

"Yup, the remainder of the grand tale is on this entry!"

Wanna review Part One?

Let's get right to it!

An Insurrection cont.

     Other than a good woman and a cigar, he did not normally get excited over much, but that day was different, Henry was the only known relative he had. So many years with no family made him thick skinned, however, excitement was percolating within.

~*~

     The last week of the month crept up and Henry was due at any time. The cigar tasted much better that day, not sure, if he wanted to sleep or just wait the day out. The sun was getting higher and it was the norm to sleep days. It was going to get hot for sure. The whiskey began taking effect, conversation with himself turned to babbling; “better go to sleep before I begin arguing with myself.” A few drinks down, adrenaline long departed, back cracked as he stretched out, “oh, this bed is comfortable.” It did not take long for the snoring to begin...

Part One of a tale told around many cattle driver campfires.

David Murphy of "From the Ashes," Coming soon from Solstice Publishing, has had many jobs and brought quick demise to fools stupid enough to point the business end of steel in his direction. 

"An Insurrection" is one of many tales.

Please Enjoy.

An Insurrection

     “Hey, Longhair, get your ass out there! The drunks are gettin’ restless!”

     He got to his feet, outside the office, a very vocal crowd, a busy night at Jake’s Saloon. A quick turn to the right and he opened the door of the office separating him from the front gambling room. Approached the threshold and received a violent greeting, a blistering wooden frame provided by a shotgun blast. Out of line of sight, a patron yelled out. “You sack of shit cheat!” ... 

Greetings and Welcome to:

SlantedK's interview

with Author, Matthew Pizzolato.

http://www.matthew-pizzolato.com/

In the SlantedK way we are discussing the great Wild West Adventure “Outlaw,” among other insightful tidbits of the Matthew’s perspective.

Without further ado, let’s dive into today's Interview with Matthew Pizzolato.

What a great place, the mind of the Wild West Writer.
Four years passed while I worked on my first novel. A year of selling the manuscript, another year of publishing, editing, and waiting patiently. Ok, not so patiently.

Carter yelled out. “Hey, Boy! You wanted to be part of this, you count, 3, 2, 1. Johnstone, you shit! On one, we go! On one, you die!”
Johnstone nodded to the boy.
He counted. “3…”
The two men set their feet, shook the hands.
“2…”
Their shoulders faced each other, the stare of death given to each other.
“1…”

“Wait, Dave, I’m not a technical person.”

Then I’m glad you stopped in. My “101” is for you. When all is said and done you will smile and say, “that was easy.”

I have a day job, this blog, my book edits, and two other books in the infant stage. Marketing, branding, read articles, write articles, check on your followers blogs & tweets. Sound familiar?
Well this little shared piece of information can make two tasks one.

Recently SlantedK Presented a beginners view on #hashtags.

Today we look at the .@

What? @ it's a reply, thanks but we know.

No - .@ is different.

This weekend I watched Smokey & the Bandit 1&2. Did you know there are zero CGI effects in either of those movies?  

When they did the jump with that Black Trans Am it actually flew. When Sheriff Buford T Justice chased the Bandit through the roller coaster, they destroyed the actual ride.

I have done an extensive study in the last few weeks concerning social media. (The application will apply to many if not all categories ie: Homework, marketing, laundry, parenting, jobs…)

My test was to see what would happen if I did nothing.

Don't  Dream Too Big

By Rita Emmett Regular Guest @ SlantedK

DMK gives this two thumbs up!

DON'T DREAM TOO BIG. That's what I heard from EVERYONE (including people who loved me) when I was writing my first book, The Procrastinator's Handbook.

I didn't personally know anyone who was published and didn't have any connections, but I dreamed of selling tons of books all over the world.
