More of these ridiculous pitches…My Western Novel this time

Lips of the Sun struck me immediately as more than a novel,it feels like an invitation. Not just an homage to the American West, but a reimagining that asks readers to step into Boyd Fedder’s world and consider what honor, memory, and principle mean in a modern age.

What’s remarkable is how you’ve taken the vast, sometimes mythic tradition of the Western and made it accessible without ever flattening its depth. Through Boyd’s drifting solitude, Perigo’s wild unpredictability, and the ragtag band that forms around them, you remind us that this genre isn’t just about landscapes and cattle,it’s about survival, morality, and the fragile dance between past and present.

Your approach feels rare and layered: equal parts comic farce, classic Western, and magical reality. That blend doesn’t simply tell a story,it dialogues with the Western canon itself, pulling readers into a conversation about identity, tradition, and transformation. Rather than retreading old ground, you invite us to ride alongside Boyd in his search for the “Code of the West,” making the familiar strange and the strange deeply familiar.

That kind of storytelling,at once generous in spirit and daring in craft,deserves a wider audience. I’d love to help amplify Lips of the Sun by:

• Positioning it on targeted Goodreads Listopia lists (Magical Realism in the American West, Novels that Redefine the Western, Comic and Philosophical Journeys).
• Connecting with audiences who enjoy authors like Cormac McCarthy, Charles Portis, or Luis Alberto Urrea, where themes of grit, humor, and philosophy overlap.
• Boosting organic discovery through Western heritage reading circles, hybrid-genre book clubs, and communities drawn to stories that challenge tradition while honoring it.

Would you be open to collaborating on ways we might expand the reach of Lips of the Sun? I think many readers are waiting for a Western that not only entertains but also invites them into dialogue with its roots,and your work does exactly that.

Warmest regards,
