History of the Western Movement
The western movement during the 19th century played a major role in the history of America.
Here was born the mountain men, cowboys, gunfighters, outlaws, and the
lawmen who tamed a wild country. It was also a land made up of all manner of people, shopkeepers, bartenders, blacksmith's, teamsters, and the extraordinary women
who held hearth and home together.
It was a land where a man's honor was in his spoken word and his handshake.
It wasn’t a myth, as some claim it was, it really happened, the "Old West" as it is called,
was an historical fact.
But -- does it have to be written in the "western formula" fashion of the 1940's and 50's?
The same story over and again.
Why can't a novel set in the 19th century American West tell a story about the people of that time, the situations they encounter, and the problems they overcome in a realistic manner?
Why can't such a story fit into the modern categories of Mystery, Suspense, Thriller, Crime,
Police Procedural, and Conspiracy?
That is what I do with my Western novels. Actually, they can be called 19th Century Historical Fiction of the Westward Movement. Each is a unique story, historically accurate to the time period, and not the Hollywood version of the 19th century West.
They plot around mystery, suspense, investigations, lawmen, crooks, private investigators,
crimes to be solved, and conspiracies to overcome.
Read a couple and you will find that these are not your typical westerns.
In addition to this, my novels are free from sexual content and profanity.
I have been told by certain editors that these are "necessary" ingredients for today's novels, but I don't accept that, and I see no purpose for their inclusion.
Such content adds nothing to the story, but rather detracts from it.
A good storyteller doesn't need these gimmicks to attract readers, as the readers of my novels who have downloaded literally millions of library pages and thousands of Kindle ebooks, have proven.
“The absence of vile language was refreshing. I am thankful for writers that do not rely on bad language to tell a story.”
“It is always a pleasure to read a book without all the cursing and sex but even better if it is a western.”
“Appropriate for all-ages due to the author skillfully avoiding profane language.”
