  Hey, folks,

  So there's this journal in the South, The Dead Mule, named after the Dead Mule School of Southern Literature. I suppose one needs to be standing at least middlin' deep in southern lit to find the joke as amusing as I do, but when Kate told me about it, I laughed and laughed, thinking of soviet tractor novels, or french tales of maquisards and young women and hidden springs. Or chinese poems of a certain era: "We are marching, resolute, into the scarlet dawn!"

  Anyway, they require all contributors to write a Southern Legitimacy Statement. They are nothing if not authentic! You can find mine here: http://www.deadmule.com/fiction/ . If you're interested, you can find my Desire here: http://www.deadmule.com/fiction/2011/02/w-f-landry-desire/

  And yes, they spell my name with a D in the south. Always... ;)

  Thanks,

  Bill

  This is a cool journal. I've had work appear, and, yeah, I spent some time on my legitimacy statement. Check it out, folks.

  Bill Lantry you have more acceptances than anyone I know!
  I am going "southern" (incognito) to get into this mag. Don't "tell" on me-- ha ha!

  "Why my name is Scarlett Susan O'Hara Tepper, and I'm just plum delighted to be considered for your sweet little ole magazine.."

  How is that, Bill, for my cover letter?
