Just when you think it's over, and you're already satisfied, James hits you with an even better finish.<br /><br />The Hal Charles story is "The Mystery Man". Our hero is a mystery writer trying to solve the mystery of another mystery writer, both of whom write for <i>Simon Prince's Mystery Magazine</i>.

I couldn't find my copies of them when Fender Tucker and I were putting together the book. Also unreprinted are all of the stories featuring my private eye characters Cody and Markham (one of which, "The Double Edge", was lost until now). I think that eventually there'll be a volume reprinting all of them. That will leave just my two confession stories and a couple dozen men's magazine stories truly lost, and a good thing that is, too.<br /><br />I'll probably post "Dreams Before Breakfast" on my blog sooner or later.James Reasonerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18049917964433932612noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4705940625481143611.post-75487033655186874072010-02-09T06:36:14.397-08:002010-02-09T06:36:14.397-08:00Your write up of "Dreams Before Breakfast&quo...Your write up of "Dreams Before Breakfast" has me hooked.

As for the fantasy novel, as well as the mystery, I don't remember what they were, but they were almost certainly never finished. I do have one unpublished fantasy novel in my files, but it would take so much work to make it publishable that I may never get around to it.James Reasonerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18049917964433932612noreply@blogger.com
