Did I find another western fiction pub with a revolver and coffee pot on the cover? Yes, yes I did.
(continued) Matter of fast, the cover illustration was so great the publisher used it for another one of its titles.
Last weekend, I shared two recently obtained issues of Ranch Romances, each with a coffee pot and imminent gunplay on the cover. Tonight, here’s the first coffee/gun combo cover I landed. The bullet hole makes it a true action masterpiece.
What are the odds!? Deeper in the stack of Ranch Romances I brought home, I uncovered this. So now I three pubs in the western-ish genre with coffee pots on the cover.
I’m a happy camper.
Thanks to Bismarck Antique Mall, I finally nabbed this long-sought-after-by-me issue of Ranch Romances. This is the second magazine/digest I now have in this genre with a coffee pot as an element of the cover drama.

Something seemingly obvious I was missing for years, and now I am looking for explanation.
An archetypical scene from a #WesternMovie is, when a #BountyHunter delivers a heap of (ususally dead) villains to a local #sheriff, claiming huge amount of money as promised by publicly distributed wanted posters.
Now, I am curious about the economics behind that system. The #OldWest was running rather slow #money #circulation, and local reserves of cash were small. A public bounty posters, accumulated in any given sheriff's office, if cashed en masse, would easily kill local bank liquidity. On the other hand, waiting for a train or wagon to bring more money was probably not practical for a hunter who just killed someone with friends in the heigbourhood.
So, any of you #history buffs can explain how it worked in reality?
Finished Tempest, the last book in the Old West series from Beverly Jenkins. I loved this series, and while I wasn't a fan of all the leads, it was incredibly well written and addressed so many issues minorities and women faced in the old west territories.
This dress has some history. I’ll tell the full story slowly here. For now, it’s two most recent appearances- National Women’s show #ottawa in 2021 ( #stillMasking), and the last Halloween party we attended in 2019 as a ghost bride.

Finished listening to Forbidden by the amazing Beverly Jenkins. Amazing story, and I learned A LOT. Immediately downloaded the second book in the series, Breathless. It's off to a great start, and I want lunch to get her so I can turn it back on.
