Don't count on it. James Reasoner is still writing, but mostly work for
hire in the Western historical vein with his wife under lots of names.
His best story (I'll get the name for you) was in a vampire collection
and was about the cow going to the butcher and then there was the one
about the gay-troup of vets at the Alamo. I thought they were a hoot,
but I have a weird sense of humour. His classic novel, long of out print
and expensive as a gold when you can find it, is TEXAS WIND, which took
place in Fort Worth where he turned a city map over and upside down and
had everyone driving all over town looking for the sites in the book.
He also edited the Mike Shayne magazine at one time. I have an interview
if anyone is interested (wait until I learn how to scan in and link,
etc) which is really very short (only a page). He also did a series
featuring a Western Judge who was a former stage coach guard who became
a lawyer then a judge. Only two in the series that were very good.
