Welcome to Western Fictioneers
An organization of professional authors of western novels and short stories.
When I joined Western Fictioneers years ago, I never thought I’d have the chance to be president. Thank you all for your support. I’m excited for what’s ahead in the coming year with such a talented group of writers. It’s a true honor to help create new stories about our Western history. Write on!
Bob Vardeman
