I want to spread the word about several old west activities I'm involved in here in Arizona. Wild West Gazette is a fun newspaper promoting the old west. www.wildwestgazette.com. I also play with a Fast Draw Club out at Pioneer Living History Museum. I'm a former Cowboy Mounted Shooting Assoc. Director and Competitor#70. Also was editor of MSA Mounted Shooters World newspaper. My SASS number is #17061 and been active since End of Trail 1997.

I love to shoot, ride and mostly learn about old west history. Living here in AZ my entire life with a family deeply immersed in the history, I still feel I'm just scratching the surface in what there is to know about our past. I also feel I was born a century too late. But I do enjoy the technology that allows us to communicate this way. Still there’s nothing like a good campfire, a group of good friends under a starry sky with the coyotes howling.
I’m also looking for cowboy western authors, artists and poets to write for Wild West Gazette.

Too numberous to mention!

I met so many great authors this month including Elmer Kelton. What a thrill! Pictures of the Western Writers of America Conference in Scottsdale are online too.
