What was in a regular issue? A Shayne novella and a couple of
non-Shayne short stories? I've only seen one issue, I think,
from about 1975. My uncle left it lying around at the
cottage. I think I read it, but I didn't know anything about
Shayne or what all the magazine came out of. I think I'll go
down and see if there are any at the pulp store here in
town.

If you ever find it, speak out.
How did you feel about ghosting in Halliday's name? Any sense
of stepping into the shoes of the writer's who'd gone before?
Do you ever meet other writers who were Halliday and
reminisce?
