Can’t remember if I did The Mercurian: Three Tales of Eric John Stark before, and I don’t care because bourbon drink*. This is the stuff, my droogies. Leigh Brackett is one of the people that later hacks are ripping off.

*There’s jalapeno honey in this one and dang.
I’ll stick with lemon juice and simple syrup, thanks.
Brackett’s work is great; her book “The Sword of Rhiannon” is a big influence on my own novels and her Stark books are just great adventures. Give her a look if you haven’t already; she wrote noir, SF, fantasy and a bunch of movie scripts for John Wayne.
Jalapeno honey…dang. It’s been 37 years and I don’t regret it, but sometimes I just miss the taste of a good drink. Salute!
