A NOTE FROM THE PUBLISHER

We are pleased to include another fine selection of western-themed books for The Fifth Western Novel MEGAPACK™. Here are:

Manhunt West, by Walker A. Tompkins … Fleeing a posse, Cleve Logan boards a riverboat loaded with outlaws. Hands are dealt in a desperate game—and Death will take the last trick!

The Renegade Hills, by Allan K. Echols … Saddle up—and ride hell-bent-for-leather down the trail to a hidden valley—but keep your guns loose in your holsters, ’cause you’re riding to an outlaw showdown in the Renegade Hills!

Last-Chance Range, by Dean Owen … Byrd Elkhart called the Territory his private range. He strung barbed wire across forty miles of it, and the other ranchers just stood by with their tails between their legs. But then a different breed of man showed up in the person of Clay Janner, of Texas—and he was going to drive his scrawny herd over the range even if he had to turn the whole Territory into a six-gun shambles!

Powder Smoke, by Jackson Gregory … “Double pay,” Bart Warbuck told his gunmen, “and give hundred more to the one who gets Jeff Cody!” —It was as simple as that if you were Warbuck, had 30 killers on your payroll, and made the law whatever you wanted it to be. But it was hard to take if you were young Cody, and if the only gun you could rely on was the one in your belt. And if you alone could stop Bart Warbuck!

Enjoy!

ABOUT THE SERIES

Over the last few years, our MEGAPACK™ ebook series has grown to be our most popular endeavor. (Maybe it helps that we sometimes offer them as premiums to our mailing list!) One question we keep getting asked is, “Who’s the editor?”

The MEGAPACK™ ebook series (except where specifically credited) are a group effort. Everyone at Wildside works on them. This includes John Betancourt (me), Carla Coupe, Steve Coupe, Shawn Garrett, Helen McGee, Bonner Menking, Colin Azariah-Kribbs, A.E. Warren, and many of Wildside’s authors…who often suggest stories to include (and not just their own!)

Note: we only consider stories that have already been professionally published. This is not a market for new works.

TYPOS

Unfortunately, as hard as we try, a few typos do slip through. We update our ebooks periodically, so make sure you have the current version (or download a fresh copy if it’s been sitting in your ebook reader for months.) It may have already been updated.

If you spot a new typo, please let us know. We’ll fix it for everyone. You can email the publisher at wildsidepress@yahoo.com or use the message boards above.
