Death in a Dead Place was originally titled Passion Has No Rule Book. Too Late to Pray was originally titled Game of Passion. The short story The ugly Red head was originally titled Unsubtle Sensualite. Hope that clears everything up. Ennis Willie says the publisher came up with the titles.<br /><br />LynnAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7527967.post-47731142595575277282010-06-19T07:34:01.413-05:002010-06-19T07:34:01.413-05:00I don't know of any plans right now, but that ...I don't know of any plans right now, but that doesn't mean there aren't any.James Reasonerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18049917964433932612noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7527967.post-87654609326831283362010-06-18T23:28:28.506-05:002010-06-18T23:28:28.506-05:00James,

Here's my question: the novels appearing in the book are titled DEATH IN A DEAD PLACE and NO PLACE TO PRAY. Yet in Mertz's Willie bibliography for Paperback Parade, no such titles exist. Do you know which titles those two books were originally published as? I'm guessing DEATH and NO PLACE were Willie's original titles, which were then changed by Merit, but have now been reinstated. Of course, I could be wrong about that. But since I've already got ten Willie PBO's, all the short stories, as well as Mertz's interview and bibliography, I don't know if I'd want to spend the dough right now if I already own the two novels reprinted in the SAND'S GAME collection. On the other hand, I'm a sucker for well-written introductions, especially if they provide background info or give a context to the piece they're introducing.Rittsterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08145597443811879849noreply@blogger.com
