Saddlebag Dispatches-Autumn/Winter 2018 (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781633735002)

If you enjoy stories of the West, you've come to the right place.

Saddlebag Dispatches regales you with tales placed west of the Mississippi containing the spirit of the Old West in them, but you'll find some of the New West here, too. Inside, larger-than-life men and women drive pickups on highways in addition to riding horses down dusty trails. You will also discover some of the best nonfiction as well as poetry, interviews and... well, pretty much anything to do with the West.

Twice a year, we feature interviews with the movers-and-shakers in Western writing, columns by writers steeped in the form, and poetry and fiction from some of the best authors in the business. For our Autumn/Winter 2018 issue, we're celebrating the great American sporting event known as rodeo. You'll find fantastic nonfiction and historical pieces from the likes of Spur Award-winning author and poet Rod Miller, Michael Koch, Terry Alexander, John T. Biggs, and Tom Correa; great new short fiction from Dennis Doty, Michael McLean, Kari Holloway, Marlon S. Hayes, and Doug Hocking; the sixth and penultimate chapter of our serial graphic novel event BENDER, written by Michael L. Frizell and illustrated by D.A. Frizell; poetry from John Nebsitt, Michael Lee, Spur Award-winner Rod Miller, and Laurie Duncan; and columns on all things western from our dedicated staff.
