Novel-Writing: “Allegiance to Arms” (western novel)

For those of you interested to know, I’m also the author of 4 books (3 of which are novels, the other a short story collection).  Besides the short story collection, my three full-length books (80,000 to 85,000 words in length) are not Science Fiction or Horror.  No.  They’re two different genres completely, and I once held [...]

Lawrence Dagstine – Speculative Fiction Author
