I had about three or four things in Blue Murder, and I
exchanged a lot of correspondence with editor David Firks
who, after I mentioned I hadn't received payment for one
contribution, went out of his way to send me a cheque via Fed
Ex--and there wasn't much difference between the Fed Ex
charge and the value of the cheque. Unfortunately (for me,
anyway) I never received payment for my final contribution or
two, despite several emails which went unanswered. In the end
I gave up.
However, Blue Murder was a great idea, and a great mag. The
fact that I did get a couple of cheques made it even better.
It's a shame it went under, and I hope that David Firks, who
seemed like a really nice bloke, came out of it relatively
unscathed.
