I love connecting with my readers
I enjoyed your site but did not see an area to sign up and receive your blog.
That would be because I haven’t figured out how to send it around yet … I’m working with my website designer to see what we can do about it. In the meantime, just stop by every week or so for a new blog!
Jay, I am a writer myself and, like you, I have a all-things-western blog. We focus a lot on the old west. I am posting your blog address in my blog roll call. Not sure if you can or would want to do that same, if you have one. I appreciate all the hard work you’ve put into your blog. Nice work.

Please take down or quit posting on LiveJournal t_w_w_s Transworld Writers Work-Shop. LiveJournal is Russian owned and operated and you are supporting Putin. Continue supporting Twitter which is an American company. Thanks and God bless.
From Wikipedia: “Six Apart sold LiveJournal to Russian media company SUP Media in 2007; the service continued to operate out of the U.S. via a California-based subsidiary, LiveJournal, Inc., but began moving some operations to Russian offices in 2009. In December 2016, the service relocated its servers to Russia, and in April 2017, LiveJournal changed its terms of service to conform to Russian law. As with other social networks, a wide variety of public figures use the service, as do political pundits, who use it for political commentary, particularly in Russia,[4] where it partners with the online newspaper Gazeta.ru. “
