Hangman's Noose, Part 2 of 2
by Larry Payne
By the time Hap Gilson and his men rode into Sweetwater, the town was in a festive
mood. Wagons and buggies, carrying folks from miles in all directions, lined both
sides of the street. Tinny piano music and raucous laughter collided with the four
riders as they passed the Lucky Lady Saloon.

Billy's Tailor
by Larry Lefkowitz
Yes, I Immanuel Copland, was Billy the Kid's tailor. Perhaps this is my only claim
to fame. You laugh, but would be surprised how many people are impressed by the
fact.

Bottomless Bartlett's Beautiful Bride
by John Putnam
I stood there idly wiping clean glasses with a dirty bar rag and watching my only
customer shovel food down his maw like a hungry grizzly bear after a long winter
nap. Bottomless Bartlett they called him and the man could pack enough grub away
in one day to feed Kearny's Army of the West for a week.

Up Against the Wall
by Jim Fischer
Molby was an old cowboy, an ornery, cranky, stove up old cowboy who,
although he hadn't sold his saddle, didn't ride any more. And now Molby's the cook.
In less than a minute around Molby you would know all of that, and more.

Welcome!
Howdy, Folks! Hope you're up for some fun stories 'cause we've sure
got 'em. And next month we're going to ask YOU to decide which of
our stories you like best. We're going to put in a voting system and publish
the results. How does "Best Story of the Month" and "People's Choice of
the Year" sound? Our authors have been entertaining you for a while, now
we're going to let you give a little feedback. Watch for it next month!
Have you told your story-loving friends about Frontier Tales? Do they know about the
yarns we're bringing to you? Spread the word!
Do you know anyone who wants to write Westerns but doesn't know how to get them
published? That's what we're here for, to help new authors' work see the light
of day. Give them a break. Tell them about us.

New Author?
We know it's getting harder and harder to find someone who will publish your western
or historical stories. Well, if you're looking for an opportunity to get your
work shown, you've come to the right place. You give us a story, the right to publish your work online,
maintain it in our archives, and include it in a print reproduction, such as
in an anthology. We'll put it out there for the world to enjoy.
We're looking for well-written short stories. If you would like to submit one for publication, send it to
editor@frontiertales.com in the body of an email. No attachments, please.
Be sure to check our submission requirements.
