: Hmmm? And how does one get their greedy mitts on this
niffty
: unpublished gem? I've heard diffrent accounts of the
history of the
: last Moseley novel. Anyone, want to set the record
straight?
Willeford wrote _Grimhaven_ after _Miami Blues_. His
publishers wanted
more Hoke Mosley, but he didn't want to "turn into a girdle
factory,"
I think the phrase was. The thought of a continuing series
didn't
appeal to him, so he wrote a sequel he knew wouldn't be
published.
Then, I think, his publishers and perhaps his wife worked on
him a
little and he did do some more Hoke books. Samizdat copies
of
_Grimhaven_ do float around here and there, and a few people
on the
list have read it. It is one damned depressing book.
