Western Authors

Unlike any other genre, the Western is a uniquely American genre. Authors in this genre may hail from places other than the United States, but in order for the story to be a Western, it has to take place out in that untamed wilderness that was the American frontier. For a distinct American reading experience, mosey on over to the genre that represents a time when the only law was the sheriff's six-shooter and the code of honor that bound heroes together against the villains.
