THINKING ABOUT…STRAY BULLETS #1

Thinking a lot about STRAY BULLETS and the journey Maria and I've been on for 21 (!?!) years….

I've never told this story, but before publishing we sent a copy of SB#1 to the great Harlan Ellison.

He called, very concerned, to tell us we were making a HUGE mistake and would destroy our careers.

To be fair, he had no idea where we were going with the series, and gave us props after seeing a few issues.

Still, to be told by one of the greatest sci-fi writers EVER that you SUCK and still push on takes some balls.

Maria and I were babies--we had nothing but each other and the arrogance of youth.

Haven't grown up much since then. Still arrogant as shit. So we're going to be around for a REALLY FUCKING LONG TIME!

Yes, that is a threat.
