#Western #Canadian Select is now a mere $12 in the black for #Alberta
In case there were ANY Albertans left wondering how Danni's Sure-Fire Quick-Drawing Grovelling Tour paid off;
it didn't.
In fact the only thing that really resulted is her showing everyone just how little she and the #UCP deserve to be in Canada at all, freely, anyway.
4/8. MC POV: What are the 3 most important things you always take with you when traveling (besides money, ID and keys if applicable)?
In book I Diane has her favorite gun, The Beast, her plain bowler hat, and — just in case — another gun.
Amy carried the money. They don’t have anything that locks. In the American west of the 1840’s there was no state-mandated ID.

FINALLY!
I have been waiting for them to release a trailer for this! I am so hyped!
John Maclean's Slow West (2015) was such a surprise and showed how a solid script, great acting and an ambitious director could over come a small budget.
It was a fantastic, somewhat surreal, #western that left a lasting impression.
Now we have Maclean's newest #film, Tornado, a samurai revenge western that takes place around Britain of the late 1700’s.
CAN'T WAIT TO SEE THIS!!!

4/7. Does your MC have a secret? Can you give us a hint?
A significant portion of the character arcs are uncovering their own secrets. Horrors and uncanny events can get cloaked in shame or fear. Details are slippery because what’s happening doesn’t mesh with the character’s previous conception of the world. Until they know the truth, it’s an involuntary secret.

4/6. SC POV: Are you capable of killing a person?
Most of the SCs are not blood-thirsty monsters. Some of them are. A few teeter on the fence.
For example, Mueller the mercenary certainly is capable of killing and looking at killing both Amy and Diane. Diane sees this all too clearly. Things don’t go well for him.

4/5. What’s the most important thing about world-building for you?
It’s the US West in the 1840’s. World-building options are limited. It’s horror, so world-building is necessary. But only near the fringes of our conscious awareness.
What inspires me most are distinctive locations. Place is a character, putting some additional meaning on the action.

4/4. Whose advice about your writing would you follow?
For non-fiction, I have a bunch of tech reviewers and editors. I follow their advice assiduously. Back when I had a day job, I took advice from colleagues, also.
For fiction, I have a beta reader. I read aloud to my partner. This gives us (both) a in-depth look at story structure and writing technique. That’s self-study, not advice, but I find it helpful.
