Justin (justinbienvenue) | 345 comments Hey all,
I just finished writing my 11th novel and 2nd western horror, Brimstone Express. I wanted to write another weird/western horror for two reasons, one, I enjoy the genre, and two, the second book I ever wrote was in the genre so in a way it was me going back to my roots. I created this topic as a way to discuss and keep you all updated on it.

Here's a blurb on what the book is about:

A gritty gunslinger desperate for money. One train robbery may change everything.
He’s wanted dead or alive but either way, he’s going to Hell...

Kiero Dusk is a dangerous man. He and his gang have been robbing trains for over a year and have never been caught. Dusk is unpredictable, and not your average outlaw. He’ll shoot anyone and doesn’t care about the consequences...

One day in the saloon, he overhears a tall tale about a mysterious train called the Brimstone Express. The train only operates at night and is said to have everything a man could ever want. Seeing a big opportunity, Dusk asks more about it, caring not that everyone who's tried to rob it ends up dead.

Will this be the biggest heist the West has ever seen or will it be the end of the line?

Justin (justinbienvenue) | 345 comments The first thing that came to me before I had a single thought to write this was the main character's name, Kiero Dusk. I randomly thought of it one day and thought it sounded badass. Unfortunately, I had no idea where I could use him as my backlist of book ideas already included characters and I knew this man had to have his own book. Then I thought it sounded rather Western-like so I decided I'd use him for a western horror.

I then got the idea to write an old-fashioned wild west train robbery book. Immediately I knew Express had to be in the title but what to call the train? Eventually, I settled on Brimstone Express and all I had to do from there was think of a plot and write it.

Justin (justinbienvenue) | 345 comments I plan on releasing the book on October 20th, roughly a week before Halloween which I've never done before. This will be my second published Western horror novel I've written and my 12th novel overall.

I hope people will enjoy reading it as much as I enjoyed writing it.

“You know what three days of mutton does to a man’s stomach?” - Diego Ortega, Brimstone Express

“I used to think I wanted to be a preacher like my granddaddy until I realized that sin-busters are more corrupt and murder more people by their words than anything I could ever do with a gun” - Solomon Moss, Brimstone Express

“What can I say? I’m a cold and heartless bastard.” - Kiero Dusk, Brimstone Express

“Your shape reminds me of a typical description of a gunslinger in one of those penny dreadful novels I once read” - Kiero Dusk, Brimstone Express

Justin (justinbienvenue) | 345 comments The book will be available October 20th and I will likely be going live that day on most of my social media accounts to talk about it. The book will also be available for pre-order soon.
