Western Stories

[Talenhawk]

For some reason I have really enjoyed reading western stories lately. I just reread In My Life by HardDaysKnight and its still on of my all time favorites and there is almost no sex at all. Does anyone have any recommendations for other really good western stories?

While I am posting I might as well as; I was telling a friend about a Scifi story I read. He asked me for the link and for the life of me I can't remember the name of the story or the author. Worse yet not 100% sure if it was on this site or SOL. Either way, it was about a guy on a space ship. The ship had a crew or 7 or 8 women and three guys. In this time all sex was virtual reality and people that did it physically were outcasts. An asteroid hits the ship and kills two of the guys and knocks out the VR. Is this sounding familiar to anyone? Any help would be appreciated.

ALAN LE MAY wrote some of the best Westerns, and some of them are classic Cowboy movies. THE SEARCHERS with John Wayne is probably the most famous of them.

I don't know of any stories here on Lit, but I'd love to write one someday. Some of my favorite western stories are those Longarm books by Tabor Evans. Schlocky, I know, but what's better than a horny, roving US Marshal?

I'm sorta partial to Zane Grey, Max Brand, and Louis L'Amour...

Larry McMurtry writes a good western. The 'Lonesome Dove' series comes to mind. He also co-authored 'Brokeback Mountain' with Diana Ossana.

Yep, one of my all time favorites...

Is Montana Summer still available here? I'd consider it a damn good western!

Yes it is.
An excellent Western and still available here
Look for D_K_Moon as the author

Montana Summer is also one of my all time favorites. There have been a couple but I hope to find more. Its a fun, action filled genre.

A Little Different Twist-No a Big, Different Twist

If you're looking for a Western with a different twist (and I mean a different twist) try out BarondeSade's Blackmail on the Prairie series. It carries the genre well at the same time it interjects sex into the plot.

BarondeSade always writes a good tale.
