Border Incident Out Now In Spring ’21 Issue Of El Portal

El Portal is the literary journal of Eastern New Mexico University and one of the few remaining venues nowadays for Western fiction, although it also accepts general literary work. My short story, Border Incident, appears in the Spring 2021 issue, available online for free. Incident is based on a real occurrence in the life of Juan Cortina, a Mexican-American rancher and border boss who gave the Anglos unshirted hell for decades. My sincere thanks to Head Editor Tiara Bollig  and the rest of the El Portal staff for this opportunity. So if you’re in the mood for some riproaring Western action, pilgrim, click the link below.
