Book Update: MELINDA WEST: MONSTER GUNSLINGER
This last month has been busy – I completed a first round of edits on the book and saw the preview for the cover. It is AMAZING! I can’t wait to share it with you, hopefully around November. The artist perfectly captured the vibe and style I was hoping for.
Book summary: MELINDA WEST: MONSTER GUNSLINGER is a feminist Weird Western horror adventure about a stoic sharpshooter, Melinda, and her easygoing partner, Lance, debuting in February from Brigids Gate Press. Read about the book concept here.
