The Magazine for Mercenaries Enters Polite Society
Briefly

"I wanted to write about mercenaries, so I placed an advertisement in Soldier of Fortune. The ad said, 'Are you a mercenary? Contact S. Katz.'"
"I also got some government agents showing up, because they thought that I was trying to raise a mercenary army," Keating said, highlighting the unexpected consequences of her inquiry.
"In 1986, I began contributing to Soldier of Fortune, the rare woman to do so, and eventually purchased the magazine from its founder."
"My fascination with mercenaries began as a child. I moved to Ireland after my dad died, and I was exposed to a lot of real violence with political intent."
