Steve Weddle
Steve Weddle’s THE LAST OUTLAW CAMP, pitched as DEADWOOD meets BOARDWALK EMPIRE, the story of a small town boy who returns home and becomes embroiled in some ill-conceived ransom plans with local scofflaws and ornery characters, set against the unyielding backdrop of the Great Depression, to Alison Dasho at Lake Union Publishing, for publication in 2024, by Josh Getzler at HG Literary (world).
Weddle's Country Hardball (Tyrus, 2013) was called "downright dazzling" by the New York Times. The French translation, Le Bon Fils, will be published in 2016 by Gallmeister.
His most recent short story, "South of Bradley," appears in Playboy magazine.
“And so many of the indies have partnered with Google to sell ebooks right from their own websites. These stores are embracing the “new technology” instead of hiding from it, because they realize it’s about the story, not the ink on paper. If you want ebooks, your local indie can sell you ebooks. If your local independent is hanging up posters saying that ebooks will kill everything, you should tag that bookstore as a favorite in your GPS doohickey. You’ll get great deals, because that store will have a going-out-of-business sale soon. Yes, even though you try to save it with a letter-writing campaign.”
