Letters

From Jim Brearton:

        I read in issue #127 that Joan Tobin wondered whether I was Timothy James Brearton. I'm not, but he's my cousin. I was recently in contact with him when he was working on the most recent Lake Placid Film Festival and saw that I'd submitted a film. Despite my cousinishness, my film was rejected. I guess that's how bad my film was. Oh, well.
        Also, while I've been accused of being a pack rat, I can't find issue #126. What story or item of mine was in that? I know I negligently allowed my subscription to expire, and maybe the item was in an issue during my sabbatical. I'll keep looking for the issue, as I have several places I keep things in, so I don't lose them. Also, let me tell you, "Rejection," by Ricky Ginsburg, in
#127 really hit home, and was a truly fantastic story about a writer.

        You should have received two contributor copies, even if your subscription had run out. Your article, “Girl Books and Guy Books,” ran in #126, Winter 2010. There’s a picture of snow-covered cacti on the cover. Let me know if you can’t find the copies and I’ll send replacements.
