Suspect you'll enjoy your upcoming retirement! So far my semi-retirement is doing OK--though since I'm still writing a little, some periods are more retired than others!
It turned out my article for
Gun Digest 2024 didn't work out. The editor really liked it, but the company buys all rights to articles--meaning they can reprint forever without paying me anything. I haven't signed a contract like that in many years, so told them they weren't getting it.
Instead will be running the article in the May edition of
Rifle Loony News, the on-line quarterly that Eileen and I publish on our website
www.riflesandrecipes.com.It's a long piece about the sudden increase in factory .17-caliber rifle cartridges in the 21st century, including handloading info and what hunting each .17 works for.
