Chadwick did more investigative plotting.<br /><br />Matt Moring (Altus Press) are actually collaborating on reprinting the entire Secret Agent X series. We think it will be done by the end of 2011. I don't know if the Kindle edition is from Matt's files. We have talked about releasing ebook versions but I don't if Matt has gone ahead with that.<br /><br />The Secret Agent X stories were first published from 1933 to 1938.bebnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7527967.post-40738463513834776652010-08-06T13:02:26.445-05:002010-08-06T13:02:26.445-05:00The reprint isn't out yet, but it should be so...The reprint isn't out yet, but it should be soon from Beb Books (who is actually my friend Brian Earl Brown). The first page of his website is at:<br /><br />http://home.sprynet.com/~beb01/bebbooks/index.htm<br /><br />and you can get to all the other pages from there. He has an abundance of inexpensive pulp reprints available, with more coming up all the time. Altus Press is also reprinting the Secret Agent X novels with several stories in each volume. Matt Moring does a great job with them, too. In a previous comment, David Cranmer points out that some of the books are available for the Kindle, but I haven't checked that out yet.<br /><br />As many people have said, this is the new Golden Age of Pulp Reprints.James Reasonerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18049917964433932612noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7527967.post-45091170491213126202010-08-06T12:48:42.055-05:002010-08-06T12:48:42.055-05:00I'm assuming this is a reprint.

I think one of my Abilene books had a circus in it, and my story in THE AVENGER CHRONICLES was titled "Death in Clown Alley". But that may be it. Recently I sent in an outline for a series Western that had a traveling circus in it. The editor was fine with the idea, but the sales department nixed it, I don't know why. I'll save the plot and use it for something else later on.James Reasonerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18049917964433932612noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7527967.post-43341253616218881242010-08-06T08:43:56.099-05:002010-08-06T08:43:56.099-05:00RINGMASTER OF DOOM.
