I posted the following on FictionMags, but there may be some
material to interest this list as well:
The most recent story by Hansen I can find is "Home is the
Place," EQMM, January 2000.
He had two short story volumes within the past 4 years:
BLOOD, SNOW, AND CLASSIC CARS. San Francisco: Leyland
Publications, 2000. Published by Leyland Publications/Gay
Sunshine Press, as a collection
"with gay themes," which the publisher claims have "never
before
[appeared] in book form." But of the "five new stories," one
was first collected in BRANDSTETTER & OTHERS, and 2 in
BOHANNON'S COUNTRY. Of the 2 newly collected stories, the
title story is detective, and
"Home is the Place" from EQMM earlier in 2000) features
Bohannon.
BOHANNEN'S WOMEN. Waterville, ME: Five Star, 2002. Contains 6
stories, 5 featuring Bohannon. One ("Home Is the Place")
previously appeared in BLOOD, SNOW AND CLASSIC CARS and "Home
is the Place" appeared earlier in 2000 in EQMM; the others
seem to be newly collected.
I wonder whether the following booklet is rare; I have no
idea how many were printed:
ELECTION DAY, A DAVE BRANDSTETTER STORY. Woodstock: A Foul
Play Press Book, The Countryman Press, 1984. Separately
published pamphlet, described as "a free promotional excerpt
from the forthcoming collection BRANDSTETTER & OTHERS, to
be published in December, 1984." Surprisingly, the
typesetting is not the same as that in the book.
Publishing a single story from a forthcoming short story
volume always struck me as a good promotional gimmick. I know
that one was done for John D. MacDonald's THE GOOD OLD STUFF
and one for Basil Copper's THE SECRET FILES OF SOLAR PONS. I
can send details if anyone is interested.
Were there others in the detective/mystery fields?
Crippen & Landru has never done that for publicity,
though we do publish a pamphlet (sort-of "first book
edition") of a single short story for each Malice Domestic
Convention (and we did so for one Bouchercon), and each
Christmas/Hanukkah/&c we issue a newly commissioned story
in what we describe hyperbolically as a "deluxe limited
edition." These go to our Subscribers.
If can send details on any of the above if you are
curious.
