Welcome to
Frontier Tales!
Look here to find stories of yesteryear, when men and women fought and struggled
against nature, their fellowman, and sometimes themselves for love, money, and --
sometimes -- survival. The frontier required strength and determination, whether
it was on the western prairies while moving a herd of cattle or in the Appalachians
trying to find a way west. We'll have the kind of tales you love that show you the
way it used to be when America was young!
New Authors --
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 see.
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.
We have two new stories for your reading pleasure this month. Enjoy!
Comments? Suggestions? We welcome them all.

A message from two-time Spur Award winner, Dusty Richards:

Dear New Readers,
When editor Duke Pennell asked me about a market for Western short stories,
he said he just couldn't find any place to submit them. I agreed that market is
drier than a west Texas sand dune, so when he asked me if I would contribute a
short story to his new project, I said sure.
There's still some folks that like the old west, so supplying them with some
short fiction or even true tales of the west might be a treat. Secondly since
the world is all going to email and the web anyway, why wouldn't such an
electronic magazine entertain those fans.
