Ed Gorman and I did sell an anthology to Cemetery Dance Publications based on Hardluck's western noir issue. At this point Cemetery Dance has paid the advance so we've been able to pay our writers, but I don't know when they're going to release this. My original hope was that this would lead to other anthologies from Hardluck, but the process with them has dragged out so long that I don't think I'd want to get involved with them for another one.Dave Zeltsermanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04007736514118297783noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8088414462866645386.post-54468115104501907802009-05-27T18:19:52.767-04:002009-05-27T18:19:52.767-04:00Thank you, David.

My favorite bit is his answer on the Patriots question, not because I'm in agreement with him (hey, I'm a Rams fan; you know I see things a little differently) but because he answered like a true fan: fired up and completely partisan. <br /><br />I hope you enjoy <I>Small Crimes</I> as much as I did.Corey Wildehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05566740230330395590noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8088414462866645386.post-207347684525813092009-05-27T09:41:18.824-04:002009-05-27T09:41:18.824-04:00I know this is your first interview, but whoa.

Both questions and answers were pitch perfect. Kudos to both of you. And I will be heading over to my indie store this week to pick up Small Crimes.
