We hope you enjoy the works presented here at True Chili.
From the Editor:
We at Underwood Press have a love for finely crafted storytelling.
We also have a weakness for Cowboy poetry. And western movies and great western tales. And Clint Eastwood. And John Wayne. And Anthony Quinn. And Bruce Dern. And Pancho Villa. And Max Brand. And Karl May. And Annie Oakley.
The list goes on.
There is something special about sitting down around a campfire at the end of a long day, lighting a hand-rolled cigarette, drinking coffee from a tin cup and watching the sparks rise up and join the stars.
Yeah. All that.
We're suckers for Cowboy poetry. And stories.
So whether you are a cowboy or a cowgirl, whether you call yourself a vaquero or a caballero, or maybe your just a dreamer like the rest of us, send us your best work.
If we love it, we will want to publish it and so share it with the world.
