I still read many traditional westerns each year.
Seems like not too many of us still do, although there seems to be enough of a niche
market for old time shoot-um-up westerns.
Today’s westerns, at least after perusing the Amazon
bestselling lists, seem to lean more to modern time stories set in the west,
usually more mystery than conflict of characters. Historical, Romance and Young Adult westerns
all seem to still be popular and in some demand today. None are bad areas and
all seem to sell.
Oddly it seems when westerns are listed in categories
of mystery or romance they are more acceptable to the mainstream – just my
thoughts.
Now I am going to set down and start writing my,
all new, young adult, mysterious historical western – hope it will become a
best seller. Tentative title, with tongue firmly planted in cheek.
