Dark City Underground

      Any readers kind enough to frequent Gravetapping have noticed an eerie quiet has settled in over the past several months. I was bored with blogging and things slipped and slipped until it was easy for me to ignore the blog. But things are changing. I’ve started blogging again, but the address where I’m appearing has changed. The new place is Dark City Underground. So far, I have 21 posts at the new label and from my perspective the work is bigger and better. I have a couple detailed critical author profiles Im particularly proud of (and more coming soon):

Polygamists, Outlaws & Mormons: The Crime and Western Tales of Gary Stewart

“If You Have Another Hobby, Take That Up”: The Thrillers of Harrison Arnston

I’ve posted an essay – The Cat & The Cowboy – about my late-cat Pete, along with a hybrid fiction/non-fiction story about the outlaw Bill Hickman: Honor Among Horse Thieves: Wild Bill Hickman’s Christmas Day Shootout. The first of several stories I have planned featuring the horse thief, murderer, and self-proclaimed Mormon Destroying Angel that roamed the western frontier from the 1850s to the 1870s.
      I’ve also been doing my regular routine of reviewing books, both old and new.
      If you’ve enjoyed stopping in at Gravetapping, I think you’ll like Dark City Underground even more. And if you’ve been kind enough to link your blog or website to Gravetapping, would you mind linking Dark City Underground, too? And if I haven’t linked to your blog or website from Dark City Underground, send me a reminder and I will.
      Thanks, and we’ll be talking soon…

Hey, Ben: I just hope you'll leave Gravetapping in place, for those of us who've linked to your older posts here. -- Cheers, Jeff

I agree with Mr. Pierce.

Hi Jeff and Kevin,

My plans are to leave Gravetapping as is. I may cannibalize a post every so often, but I'll leave the original post at GT.
