In a few short days, we’re headed to the pulsing heart of true American commerce, vice, and villainy. Naw, not Washington, DC (Now why would you think that?). I’m talking Vegas!

We’re headed to the land of Dino, Frank, and Sammy for the 60th Annual Western Writers of America Convention. I’m especially worked up about this one because I’ve won the Spur Award for Best Western Short Novel.
