Also looking forward to The Dreamers. Very exciting, good work guys!

AMAZON--NOW!

The paperback is delayed because of changes at the printing company. :(

It will be out in late January, though!

Cool! :)

I'm excited for 2016 already!

I second this excitement!!!

My eyes nearly shot out of my face when I saw the Frank Baker collection there! Amazing news - I've been after that one for years.

Whoo-freaking-hooo about the anthology!!

I'm pretty excited about the new Westall too. :)

Just bought The Mysteries of London v 1 & 2

Awesomeness overload!!!!!!

Did someone say the Untitled Valancourt Anthology will include a story by Michael McDowell? No, I didn't hear that. :)

I saw that on Facebook. :)

Yep, this is going to be a great year!

Ken Greenhall!!!!!!

More Westall, too--I bought the last 2 reissues. :)

Thanks, Mr. Randolph!

Just finished Wicked Stepmother and LOVED it! :)

I cannot wait for Blood Rubies!

Charlene wrote: "Just finished Wicked Stepmother and LOVED it! :)

Finishing today--loving it!!!

I'm really enjoying too. When does Blood Rubies come out?

Blood Rubies will be out on May 3rd.

If it will be available on Kindle, then YES!!!

:D

I'll be in for that one too. Even though my reading is booked up until September, the others will just have to wait.

September of what year? ;)

I pre-ordered yesterday, but I might have to get the kindle version, too, just to read with everyone else. :)

I know, right? I don't know how I get myself into these situations. It doesn't matter though, McDowell always gets priority with me. Not that there's many more of them coming. :(

Or is there? *She asked hopefully?*

I really wish there were more to publish. :(

We do have both of his short stories coming out in anthologies. But that's about it.

The Jack and Susan mysteries novels Jack & Susan in 1953, Jack & Susan in 1913 and Jack & Susan in 1933 are in print with Felony & Mayhem Press. They also have his gay detective series under his pseudonym Nathan Aldyne (written with Schuetz): Vermilion: Valentine & Lovelace #1, Cobalt: Valentine & Lovelace #2, Slate: Daniel Valentine and Clarisse Lovelace #3 and Canary: Daniel Valentine and Clarisse Lovelace #4. They are all worth checking out and Felony's books are very nicely put together.

What's left is his men's action adventure books. There is not enough cheap wine in Aldi's to get me to add that category to the website. :P

Though I'm sure it's nothing spectacular (despite the film being a favorite), I've been interested in reading McDowell's novelization of CLUE since I first learned of its existence. Sadly, copies run about $300 these days, so I think it will have to remain a faint interest.

A few years ago we had a very bad experience trying to get the rights to reprint a teleplay. I knew production companies were money-hungry but the amount of money they wanted upfront surprised even me. We swore we'd never go through that again.

I think Clue would have a better shot of being reprinted as a limited edition hardcover.

* There are several public libraries that have a copy so you might be able to get it through interlibrary loan.

Just bought the paperbacks of I AM YOUR BROTHER, and p/o BLOOD RUBIES. :) Still need to purchase ALL SOUL'S NIGHT...

Hope you enjoy!! :)

I'm really sad about this. I feel like I'm about to lose a good friend.

But I guess I can reread when I feel the need for some McDowell.
