Re: RARA-AVIS: Lynds Cover Blurb

Kent,

Sure I remember the blurb for UPTPOWN DOWQNTOWN. My second novel..

I'd published a short story in NEW WORLD WRITING #11, and the editor, Brad Cimmings asked me if I had a novel. I did, COMBAT SOLDIER, and after he bought that I finished UPTOWN DOWNTOWN and he bought that too. He swore he'd sell both of them to a hardcover publisher, but he never did. They sold 100,000 copies each, which wasn't much in those days, but on the strength of the two advances I quit my editor job and wrote full time.
