Nuggets from the Merlin Fanshaw Westerns

April 01, 2012

Dear Friends, Family and Fans,

HOT NEWS: Yes, more exciting news this week! We're adding a new weekly feature to our newsletter starting in this issue 'Nuggets from the Merlin Fanshaw Westerns.'  They are stand alone' excerpts or 'nuggets' from Stan's Merlin Fanshaw Western Series. So grab your morning coffee (or cup of Joe) and spend some time with our newsletter. Pop over to the blog for some fine new western cartoons and features we're sure will entertain and sometimes touch your heart, mind and funny bone. And while you're over at the blog, if you missed reading the new quarterly blog post by Stan on his home page http://stanlyndeauthor.com/ take a trip back to yesteryear with him and post some of your own comments to share with others. 

WE HOPE YOU WILL RESERVE SOME TIME THIS MONDAY 04-02-12, 7-8 P.M. MDT FOR FIRST 'MEET THE AUTHOR: STAN LYNDE WESTERN CHAT ROOM'!  Once a month you can Meet the Author at his web site. We hope you will set aside time for this wonderful opportunity this Monday and then every month the first Monday at 7 p.m. with a new topic each month. For the first online Chat I would recommend those who have not been online to a chat room get signed up beforehand so that you don't suffer from anxiety like Stan and I do when we try out something new. Go to http://stanlynde.net/chat-room_290.html and click on the white box at the bottom of the chat room and it will (or should) pop a link with the sign up form to fill out (yes, it is quite a simple form). You can come in with your own name, or be anonymous. Or use your 'handle' as some members of western groups do. Once you try it, I think you will be hooked. It really can be fun, and you can test your western knowledge on Stan, or pick up some interesting facts. This week's topic: 'What makes a good western novel or movie?'
