Jim C is one of my favs!! He is the heir apparent of Jim Harrison who was also one of my fav writers. Thanks, Martine!

Thank you so much, Martine for the boost. I sincerely appreciate your kind words.

I will have to check out Punk Noir and Black Cat Weekly. Congrats on being featured in the Aerosmith anthology and for 2 years on Substack.

I like the idea of Substack as a magazine. It seems obvious now that you’ve mentioned it, but seeing that thought in print has changed my perspective on the medium. It’s also given me an idea that I might try. More on that if I follow through with it.

The mag thing hit me as I was writing the post. It's actually better than a mag because each reader plays EIC, no duds in that table of contents...

Great post! Looking forward to more of your work, although I'm still working through it! I was unfamiliar with Black Cat Weekly, looks like a great venue to sub stories to!

Oh yes, it's a great place! The thing is, the mag is so big it's hard to keep up. I need to clone myself to be able to read all that stuff :)

I was a bit nervous initially, not sure if I could sustain the rhythm, but it has gone well. You get in a routine. The funny thing is that some of my best entries were written when I was really under the gun time wise.
