Every time I request your book from the library and it arrives I rush over there and giggle and jump up and down with glee, mindless of the stares, lol!!! I discovered your books on the shelf of my library about two months ago and I looooooooooooove them all. I have yet to read the ones you wrote as Mr. Kilborn, but I am getting there. Keep up the great work, great sense of humour and never let Jackie die. I have yet to read Cherry Bomb but I can't wait. Cheers! A newbie Fan for Life! Hello JA you are divine.

Keep up the great work, great sense of humour and never let Jackie die. I have yet to read Cherry Bomb but I can’t wait.

Basil, I only submit shorts to magazines I read. Visit a newsstand or bookstore, browse the periodicals, buy a bunch, then read them cover to cover so you know what they'r looking for.

Do you have a suggestion of magazine titles that carry shorts? Especially thriller/action/suspense shorts? As I climb the ladder of getting published I want to get as much of an audience pre-built in by the time I get my foot in the door. I've already podcast some of my novels as free audio books, but want to find more of a way to reach textual readers and get the name out there and shorts seems a great way to go. Joe,
