SWAT Magazine

#1

Post by Jimd »

I just found out that one of my articles on knife attacks is going to be published in an upcoming issue of SWAT Magazine. I just talked to Denny Hansen, the editor, and my article will be in the August issue.

This will be my first published article, so when I say I'm really psyched, it's like the understatement of the year!!!!

All I need to do is snap some photos to go along with the article, and I'm all set. I've had some of my work published in books before, but this is my first stand-alone article. It's after midnight, and I'm so excited, I can't sleep (which isn't too good, since I have to get up at 5:00 AM.). :D

Thanks, guys and gals!

Today, my buddy came over to my house and we shot the phtos to go along with the article. Things went pretty well, and I think we have some good footage for the magazine. Thanks to my daughter, Katie, for taking the pics.

Hi Jim, congratulations, this is quite an achievment. May it be just the beginning, I know you have a lot of experiences to share.
Too bad we can't find the SWAT magazine here... :(

Geez, I must have forgotten in my excitement. :D
The article deals with edged weapons attacks in general, and some methods & ideologies on how to defend against them.
