I saw this at a local Border's and judging from the author
bio, it's the same Lyons. I found it ironic that two of my
favorite HB writers from the 80's, both missing in action for
way too long, are together. I'm glad to see Lyons writing
again, but wish he'd give us another Asch. Bob Randisi
mentioned earlier this year that Lyons seemed to be
disillusioned by the whole publishing racket and even
resigned his PWA membership. Petrievich, I heard, was making
money in Hollywood.
