As a big fan of Westerns, I always wanted to write something along these lines, of "desi" or native cowboys and gunslingers set in an imaginary Indian Wild West.

The story was meant to be a potential novel but, unfortunately, somewhere along the way I lost track of it. By the time I looked at it again, I already had other projects in the works, and so I decided to turn it into a short story.Prashant C.

I love the idea of combining India and Westerns! Brilliant.

Which reminds me, I’ve got to try to get on that site again to read your first story. I had some problems accessing it, and my teenager has been away at school, so I did not have my secret weapon in dealing with the digital world. Must try again. Also, I agree with Margot – you paint a vivid picture of the place right off the bat, and then deliver some fast action later. I think you have the makings of a novel here. Writers of the classic pulp era expanded short stories into novels.

Anyway, I have a few other ideas and ongoing writing projects, and I hope they'll get to the publishing stage by this time next year.Prashant C.
