It's a great day. I have a short story called "To the Cherokee Strip" in BULL Magazine.

Bull Magazine is one of my absolute favorite journals. It was, and still is, a dream journal of mine. Beginning in 2009 I started submitting to them at least twice a year. Sometimes more. Today my third story was published there, thanks to editor and writer Ben Drevlow.

This one is my second published western story. It's called "To the Cherokee Strip" and it was helped along greatly by Ben's editorial eye. My first western story was also published at BULL.  It's titled "Seven Drums" and you can read it here). These are the first two stories of a planned collection of western stories. I'm working on the third now. It's titled "The Judas Steer" and, yes, I'm excited about this project. I love the Old West and the way a western story opens itself up to discovering the grays within the supposed black and white hats.

So link up and give "To the Cherokee Strip" and "Seven Drums" a read. I thank you.
