Am I Tough Enough?


Probably not. But Neil Smith took pity on me and included my story ("Like a Hawk Rising") in the new issue of Plots With Guns.
Go see who else is in there:

They're plenty tough enough. And that includes Bryon (I will blog no more) Quertermous among others. Thanks, Neil.

No! It's not pity! It's a damned fine story. I do not bend to any other reason. Grrrrr!

Loved it.

Patti,

Neil is right.

"Like a Hawk Rising" is an excellent story. It has so many possibilites and then takes off in a totally unexpected direction.

Thanks, TIMJ, I hate to bash dogs but I figured I balanced it out with all the good amphibians and reptiles.

I really enjoyed this story. Neil was right to include it. Actually, I read all the stories and found them immensely enjoyable and very noir.

Thanks, a lot. It doesn't come naturally to me. Left to my own inclination, I would write like Anita Brookner or Barbara Pym, I think.
