I'm published (online)!

For Jim B., Mistress, and all who pitched in on my research query about St. Paul a month back,

The online magazine "Thrilling Detective" has its latest issue up, with an excerpt from a novel by Max Allan Collins . . .

. . . and a story by yours truly! Look here: http://www.thrillingdetective.com/index.html

Scroll down a bit, and click on "Piece by Piece," by "Paul Sundeson" (my nom de plume, or maybe that should be nom de keyboard).

The editors' blurb reads: "Paul Sundeson also gives us a juicy period piece featuring two buddies. Piece by Piece is an early 60s tour of duty through the pre-Civil Rights Big Easy that will stick to your ribs."

Yes, I'm getting paid; just enough at today's prices to drive about 100 miles in the Buick. But here I am in company with published folks like Collins, Laura Lippman, and our local guy O'Neil DeNoux.

Talking

Thanks, all!

Jim, as far as the sense of time and place goes, I grew up there and then . . . and there were posters here who contributed little details when I asked for memories of growing up in the Kennedy years.

And Botnst, I've always seen myself as an author. The problem is getting agents and editors to see me as one!
