Welcome!


Here you'll find stories of yesteryear, when men and women fought and struggled against nature, their fellowman, and occasionally themselves for love, money, and -- sometimes -- survival.

Here are 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 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.

This month, we have stories from Kathi Sprayberry and Elmer Fralick. They may not be just what you expect. Enjoy!



Duke Pennell, Editor.
