Welcome to O.C. Writers’ GOOD WRITERLY NEWS, where we showcase the writing and publishing milestones of local scribes. This month, we’re celebrating two new releases. If you have one, feel free to mention it in the comments or SUBMIT it to be included in next month’s roundup.
New Releases
TWO GUNS, 1 MILE
Two Guns, 1 Mile is a collection of original short fiction and historical fiction. The titles “Dual,” “Sunset (fade to black),” “Extra Terrestrials,” and “Two Guns, One Smile” contain only original fictional characters and fictional events. Any resemblance to actual events or persons, living or dead, is entirely coincidental. Other stories, including “Sharp” and “Smoke,” contain only original fictional characters but also include details from real events. For the purpose of the stories, the author condensed some of the historical events, omitting details that were not relevant to the plot, but without altering the reported facts. The remaining stories in this collection, including “One Last Round,” “The Whore War,” “Trading Post,” and “Upon the Rock of Our Redeemer,” are fictionalized accountings of reported events.
This collection was released on May 8.

PAWS HEALING THE EARTH
Paws Healing The Earth, a poetry anthology, is a modest effort to raise awareness about the environment and animal rights. The contributing poets, through their poems, discover the sacredness of our natural environment and honor the animals who share the planet with us. This anthology is a celebration of animals and wildlife, healing the earth with their presence. This collection, which allows us to discover our collective consciousness in pure brilliance, features seventy-six animal poems by forty-four poets, including multi-term U.S. Poet Laureate Robert Pinsky and Christopher Merrill, who was appointed by President Barack Obama to the National Council on the Humanities.
This poetry collection was released by River Paw Press on March 29.
