title: Shot All to Hell: Bad Ass Outlaws, Gunfighters, and Law Men of the Old West
author:  Nick Vulich 
description: Hey everybody, my name is Nick Vulich. I just finished writing my newest book -<b>The Ogre in the Basement: Strange Tales From the 1960s and 1970s</b>. It is an off-kilter look at growing up as a Baby Boomer. If you are from that era, read the book. You will let out a sigh of relief, and scream AAH! Now, I get it.&quot;<br /><br />The<b>Ogre in the Basement</b>was the most fun I ever had writing.<br /><br />I started writing about five years ago, and let me tell; it has been more therapeutic than five years on a psychiatrist&apos;s couch. Most of my books offer short, easy to read solutions to life&apos;s everyday problems. My bestsellers focus on e-commerce- How to sell on eBay, Amazon, Fiverr, and Etsy. Most recently, I have recently transitioned from writing about e-commerce to one of my real passions -<b>History</b>.<br /><br />Hands down,<b>Shot All to Hell</b>is my favorite of all the books I have written, so far.<br /><br />As a kid, I spent every free moment reading western magazines.<i>RealWest. Westerner. Frontier West. Treasure Times</i>. You name a magazine that carried stories about the old west, badmen, lawmen, and gunfighters, and I read it.<br /><br />My life&apos;s dream was to write for those magazines. I never did. Instead, I wrote one of the go-to books on the topic.How cool is that?<br /><br />Like everything else in my life, I have developed some crazy writing habits.<br /><br />I write best when I am laid back in the recliner watching TV and sipping on Diet Coke. Just to put it out there -<b>Psych, Family Guy, American Dad</b>, and the<b>Simpson&apos;s</b>set the backdrop for my writing. Sometimes Islip in an occasional episode of<b>Monk</b>or<b>Two and a Half Men.</b><br /><b></b><br />I am a firm believer in that old saying: Laughter is the best medicine.If you cannot laugh at yourself, you are probably a grumpy old man or on your way to becoming one.<br /><br />Shame on you!<br /><br />If you are feeling down, my prescription is to grab a Diet Coke, a dose of your favorite dessert, sit back, and watch a couple of hours of FOX cartoons. Those shows will reboot your funny bone, and get you to see life as it is - one crazy ride.<br /><br />My favorite books are the historical novels of Kenneth Roberts written back in the thirties and forties -<b>Arundel, Northwest Passage, Boon Island</b>, and<b>Lydia Bailey</b>. His stories are historically accurate, and totally absorbing no matter how many times you read them.<br /><br />Special thanks go out to my friend Mike, for introducing me to J. R. R. Tolkien and the<b>Lord of the Rings</b>trilogy way back in my college days.I recommend this series to everyone.<br /><br />Right now my focus is history.<br /><br />I have got so many ideas rolling around in my head.<i>1861: Prelude to CivilWar</i>.<i>We Might Have Been Kings: George Washington, John Adams, Thomas Jefferson and the American Revolution</i>. And, so many more.<br /><br />The problem is deciding which book to write first.<br /><br />People often ask me for advice on how they can get started writing.<br /><br />I tell them to read everything you can get your hands on. Write as much as you can, and don&apos;t limit yourself to one subject or genre. More importantly, don&apos;t be afraid to fail. Not every book is going to be a success. Some of them are going to sit there for six months, or a year before they take off and start selling. Some are going to emerge stillborn.<br /><br />It is the nature of the beast.<br /><br />That is a little bit about me, what books and authors have influenced me, and which direction I am headed with my new material.<br /><br />As always, it has been a pleasure.

  **KILL FOR PEACE!**
  
  
  
  
  
  John Eastland was a Vietnam vet who wanted no more than to live and let live,
  but the gangsters, pimps and weirdos wouldn’t let him. When they wasted his
  buddy it was the last straw. John went to war and he brought it all back home.
  With exploding bullets, flame throwers, and an M-16 set to rock and roll he
  was a one man search and destroy mission against the enemy in our streets.
  
  
  
  
  
  John Eastland uses a Smith & Wesson Combat Magnum with an eight-inch barrel.
  He drills out the tips of his slugs and loads them with mercury. When they hit
  a scumbag’s belly they blow up like a hand grenade. John calls that his rat
  load.

  This is the story of criminals who kill and go free. This is the story of
  degenerate scum who are protected by the law. This is the story of dying
  cities and the hopeless people who live and work in them and know that they
  have been deserted by a callous government and a sleepwalking establishment.
