Silverlight Café Author-Featuring Magazine
In February 2016 I was invited by Gary Dorion to be included in a new author-featuring newsletter which, in the first edition, would focus on crime fiction authors. I was delighted to accept the invitation and the first edition of Silverlight Café was duly published on 10 March 2016. What started with the intention of being a weekly publication soon became monthly due to resource constraints for the creator. Finally, in July 2016 the publication closed after 5 issues, with a lack of financial support being the main problem.
