Whow. Just whow. Hard to believe, seeing this today. You know, Steve, this has kind of come full circle. In the summer of 1975 Ted White ran a letter of mine in AMAZING STORIES: the first letter I ever wrote and had published in a pro mag. So nearly 40 years later, this appears. Gets me a bit verklempt, it does. Many thanks for running this!
Now I’ll have to write more stories! See? Look what you’ve done! It’s all your fault, Steve Davidson!
