Double Event
by Terry Alexander
The woman tugged the laces of her best high-topped shoes, tying them in an even bow.
“Come on, Ester. Get moving. We need to get there early, give the men a good look at us.”

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. 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. 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!
