Mercenary Pen is the home for some of Will Caverly’s work. Currently he’s writing a history of Philadelphia urban planning in the 1950’s. He also writes and podcasts on civil and political conflict (The Tinderbox Podcast), music and movies (What Up Brotha Podcast), outdoors and hunting, and some fiction. If you want to order copies of my books, try Amazon or the Facebook shop. The other way to support him is to subscribe to this blog.

Subscribe? I think I need to leave. I left the oven on at home. Tonight is my night for shampooing my hair. And I’m late for an appointment. And my dog died.

Wait, don’t go just yet.

Let’s say for a minute you enjoy what Will does. That’s probably a good reason to subscribe. Independent writers like Will need help from readers. He aims to publish only what he thinks is worthwhile or thoughtful. By subscribing, you’re helping pay the bills and fund his next project. Proceeds from the Substack will go to things like ordering author copies of books for signing events, the costs of doing research, and buying Will’s hunting license every year.

Substack is a neat platform and easy to get settled on. To find out more about the company that provides the tech for this newsletter, visit Substack.com.
