Like the name for two reasons, First it was my grandfathers whom was my hero, second I think Earl Staggs would make a great character name.

At 1:20am on April 15, 2007, Earl Staggs said…: No, Jen, that was not a typo. Great Mystery and Suspense, a new print mag, pays 50 Bucks for a new story, 25 for a reprint.

At 3:35am on April 11, 2007, Earl Staggs said…: Laine and Katt, thanks for your entries in the Great Hat Debate. A few more votes and I'll have a great lead on Ant Jan, and she'll have to concede. She may also smack me around a little.

Like you, I'm writing mostly shorts these days and was lucky enough to place some in anthologies. Also working on a sequel to my novel. If you're looking for short mystery markets, check out a couple of ezines: Crime and Suspense and Mouth Full of Bullets. Mysterical-e is still a favorite ezine of mine, too. Also, Great Mystery and Suspense is a new print mag that PAYS for stories.

At 2:48am on April 10, 2007, Laine said…: Ok Earl..I'll jump into the Great Hat Debate...I think your hat looks best on you...Ant Jan's hat just wouldn't do you justice...how's that?? LOL

Seriously - short stories. You? What's the latest?

At 11:41am on April 8, 2007, Earl Staggs said…: Jenifer, you foxy devil, you! Wonderful to see you again. I see you still haven't learned how to spell your name. There are supposed to be two "n's in Jennifer. After all this time, I suppose we'll just have to let you spell it your own way.
I also see you've hyphentated your last name and, judging from your pic, you're living in a tree. Well, if that's what you want, who am I to make judgment. (You do remember I'm a kidder, right?)

What are you writing these days?

At 10:26am on April 8, 2007, Jenifer Nightingale-Ethier said…: Earl, you old dog, it's nice to see you again. Been a while.

At 2:19am on April 5, 2007, Earl Staggs said…: Hi backatcha, CT. Greetings from Texas. I hope all is well in the Great Down Under. My wish list has always included a trip to Australia. Maybe some day.

At 1:19pm on April 3, 2007, Earl Staggs said…: I see no one wants to get in the middle of the Great Hat Debate. Y'all just don't want to get on Ant Jan's bad side. Can't say I blame you. HehHehHeh. I'm sure most of you know Jan and I are close pals. Next time she comes through town, I'm gonna see if she wants to swap hats. Hers doesn't have any bullet holes.

At 11:39pm on April 1, 2007, Earl Staggs said…: Great seeing you here, Laine! You're always a hoot and a half.

Now I have a question for you and everyone else. This is a matter that MUST be settled, so be honest. Here's the question:

Don't you think my hat is better looking than Ant Jan's?

At 10:00pm on April 1, 2007, Laine said…: Howdy Earl!! Glad to see you took me up on my invite. A gal can't have too many friends! And you are a guud un! :)
Hugs,
Laine
