Is it time for another Gunbroker Novella?

You know it has been a long long time since bob's famous elixer has been passed around the camp fire. Is there any chance we could do another saloon story without it turning into a major rip on anybody? You know I've just been waiting at the saloon with my Sharps while passing copious amounts of gas wondering who the next few characters would be to walk through the saloon doors. I mean I think we do have a few new bad guys that everyone could agree need to be run out of town, but I really miss monkey swinging from the rafters discharging his Jennings amidst the chaos. I mean certainly Evil ATF could become our new resident gunfighter as a result of passing gunfighter school with marginally acceptable grades. I'm thinking Clouder could be Sheriff with his new understudy Deputy Bullzeye(It was a political appointment Clouder what can I say...the fix was in!) We could fit dano in as the town minister given his new enlightenment we could have dano too as the resident evil and watch the fur fly between the two of them. I'm trying to work an angle on Saxon Pig..I figure he could be the US Marshal or the town banker. I think we need the simian as the bartender. Maybe Josey 1 as the town newspaper editor, you know all the news that's fit to print (or cut). Charlie(njretcop)could be a retired police officer with a shady past. TLynne could be ...well TLynne. Salzo could be the piano player or shady gambler...I'm not sure on that one..only know we don't want to give him a bowling ball. Iconoclast and nunn could be two competing gun salesman in town. In any case...anyone interested? Beach

Have guns,will travel
Clouder..
I'm anxiously awaiting the arrival of your book. Have you made any progress lately?

Happiness is a warm gun
As I typed your name, above, it occurred to me that it's the same, nearly, as my main character's name, Simon. Strange I've not noticed that before. Typing it is what I think did it, I've typed that name a thousand times.
I have indeed made some progress. I entered a rather large writing contest (Pacific NW Writers Assoc.) in January. I got word Monday that I'm a finalist. They announce the first, second and third place winners Jul 12 at their annual conference at the Seattle Hilton. I literally dropped the letter in surprise. It's not the win that's important, it's the guarantee finalist's get of a one-on-one meeting with an agent and another with an editor. I have my choice of about 20. I'll attend the conference and pitch both books, the second will be finished by then.
On the subject of our little on-line novellas; when the censors intervene, the spirit is the first thing they cut. Soulless cretins. Long live the miscreants.
Clouder..
Bryan Steven Simon - that's where the bs comes from (well, mostly ). My very first email address was simonbs@soandso.com and that's what I registered on GB with, so goes my user name. Anyway, I'm flattered whether or not you picked it from here.

Stand And Be Counted
Congrtatulations Clouder, I sincerely hope that all goes well for you and your book. Since you won't let me read your book, it has made me want to read it that much more (marketing conspiracy?). Keep us informed.
