Taking a look now...

A print magazine would be pleasing, but like you say, Gary, it would have to carry "a hefty cover price", especially with a restricted, cult-interest circulation. So it has to be online, and we take advantage of the disadvantage, as it were, and spread word of it as far and wide as we can. That way, the hope is more Black Horse Westerns will be bought and borrowed, which might ultimately benefit the Extra's contributors and all western writers.

The aim is to make the Extra one of the best free reads on the Net.

As for "presiding", I see the role more akin to desk-clerk and bell-boy combined. I offer BHW people their own bit of space, conduct them to it and see that it has all the right furnishings for them. Beyond complying with the law and doing nothing gross, they can have a free hand.

Someone asked about the BHW list, but others might like to know, too. The Hale novels appear at the end of each month, so for the Extra's March edition we begin with the February six and finish with April's. Though some key suppliers are mentioned, the Extra doesn't sell books or receive any kickbacks from the people who do. Would-be buyers are free to make their own choice of seller, listed or otherwise. As a writer commented elsewhere last week, in the UK you're looking at around £8, postage free. That's almost a paperback price for a handsome hardcover book.

Keith - you are too modest. When I discovered Black Horse Extra maybe a year or so ago I spent many hours going through the back issues. I've even printed one or two out for future reference. It is a great online mag. And as you say everyone has a free hand to contribute but at the end of the day you pull it all together and I, and other western fans, thank you for it.

So take a bow Chap O'Keefe

Wow, that's a pretty good deal. I'm going to check it out later.
