Come join us at The Western Fiction Club on Facebook!

Posted on November 12, 2021 by mark

Hello LCWG members! I’m happy to announce that I (along with a couple of writer friends) have started a new group on Facebook (FB). The Western Fiction Club is open to all types of Western Fiction – whether historical, biographical, romance – whatever – and during any time period. We are growing quickly. We are trying to balance readers and writers so that you can be assured that your posts aren’t simply skimmed over by folks like ourselves that are trying to make a sale. We currently only allow posting on weekends with a link to your books, but you can work it in (sans links) anytime, so make some interesting posts – like you might on your newsletter or blog and I think we can all have a good time.
