MERRY CHRISTMAS

A bunch of Christmas greetings to all Archive readers - we'll be back after the big day for business as usual, and we'll be starting off 2010 as we mean to go on - in a Wild West Web fashion. The first of our themed weekend for 2010 will be a Black Horse Western weekend, featuring news, features, reviews and guest blogs from many of the writers that keep the hot lead flying throughout the year for the Black Horse Western imprint.

And if you're looking for some great new year reading then might I point you to both the anthology, A Fistful of Legends and the new all guns blazing paperback from BHE Books, Liberty and a Law Badge.

And don't forget 2010 is the year of Arkansas Smith - who is Arkansa Smith? Don't ask me - find out for yourself and ensure your copy by pre-ordering now. And of course my debut novel, The Tarnished Star is still available but in short supply. Amazon are currently offering this hardcover book for a mere £8.30.
