Solstice westerns new head man

Nik Morton better known as Black Horse writer, Ross Morton has taken over the role of editor in chief at Solstice Westerns after I had to step down. I was excited to work on the list but a job opportunity will see me going to Africa for six months at the end of December, and I have not got the time that the Solstice Westerns demand. Nik though knows his westerns and recently edited the anthology, A Fistful of Legends.

SPANISH EYE

Nik Morton is best known as Black Horse Western writer Ross Morton but this summer will see Ross becoming Nik for his crime thriller Spanish Eye.

The book will be available from Solstice very soon. Keep an eye on the Archive for news. Nik's westerns are top knotch so the Archive is looking forward to this book.

Private Investigator Leon Cazador is half-English, half-Spanish and wholly against the ungodly. Sometimes he adopts an alias, Carlos Santos: he is a modern day Simon Templar, willing to hold back the encroaching night of unreason and help the gullible and downtrodden. He combats drug-traffickers, grave robbers, al-Qaeda infiltrators, misguided terrorists and conmen. Dodgy Spanish developers and shady expat English face his wrath. Traders in human beings, stolen vehicles and endangered species meet their match. Kidnappers, crooked mayors and conniving Lotharios come within his orbit of ire. Vengeful Chinese and indebted Japanese are his friends – and his enemies. Leon Cazador fights injustice in all its forms. It’s what he do

A Christmas Story

Here's a short Christmas story from author Nik Morton, AKA Ross Morton of Black Horse Western fame. It's not a western but a PI story with a Christmas setting.


We know you'll like it.

Just my luck, snow had started to fall the day before I left and, by the time I drove my Seat into the mountains, it was lying thick. Not the most auspicious start to the Christmas holidays, I thought, as the windscreen wipers beat a monotonous rhythm. STORY CONTINUES ON NIK'S SITE HERE

The Legends are ready to ride again...well, almost

The Where Legends Ride second anthology gets ever closer. Editor Nik Morton recently told the Davy Crockett Almanack - "I've just edited what is probably the last story for the western anthology. Still awaiting feedback from some authors on editing comments before I can go firm on a lineup, but not long now, I reckon."
