jl_merrowOn the urgings of a friend, I wrote something that can only be described as mainstream. A gentle romance between two persons of pensionable age and of different genders. There is not the merest whiff of sex, although there are cricket, children, a dog and cooking.
Somehow, it didn't seem appropriate to submit it to a magazine under the name of JL Merrow, purveyor of gay porn to the discerning reader.
And thus was Cathie Culver born. But now I have a quandary; on submitting to a new market, normally I'd do everything I could to big myself up by mentioning previous publications. But... Cathie Culver hasn't done anything!
Soooo... should I mention her relatively racy alter ego? Or would it be better just to sweep all that under the figurative carpet, as far as this new market is concerned?
