Er, if I may toot my horn a bit --- my guy Joe Hannibal will be celebrating his thirtieth year in print this fall. A new novel, BLADE OF THE TIGER, and hopefully a short story collection will be coming out later this year. Plus all the back titles are now available on Kindle ... I'm naturally a little biased, but I think any reader could do worse than to check them out.wayne d. dundeehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12468818760811792020noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7527967.post-14063755154719667592012-07-13T14:45:42.015-05:002012-07-13T14:45:42.015-05:00Anyone who hasn't read Dewey should run out an...Anyone who hasn't read Dewey should run out and get the Mac books. <br /><br />RJRRJRnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7527967.post-24484776852325820232012-07-13T14:02:22.044-05:002012-07-13T14:02:22.044-05:00I have a stack of Thomas Dewey paperbacks.

He was one of the better authors writing about the PI type character for original paperback publication. <br /><br />Who's left that still is writing about the series PI?

While I could be wrong about this, I doubt his writing got worse. I suspect what the gatekeepers were buying changed. With the boom in small presses and self pubbing, there are a lot of titles that are selling well that the major publishers wouldn't touch. That very well may be the case here. Maybe someone will dust off those manuscripts and publish them.Adventuresfantastichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16907562789681407416noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7527967.post-4801178239797974082012-07-13T08:41:48.418-05:002012-07-13T08:41:48.418-05:00Bill, you were my source for my comments about Dew...Bill, you were my source for my comments about Dewey living out his last years in Texas. I thought it was Mason instead of Brady, but you're probably right about that.

Believe they lived in Brady at the time. I wish Barbara had written down some of her memories of him.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02350478005243505108noreply@blogger.com
