Ed Gorman's blog recently ran a short piece by Stephen
Marlowe on his experiences collaborating with Richard S.
Prather on DOUBLE IN TROUBLE. --Jim Doherty
Jim, this piece led to Steve agreeing to write his
autobiography which Stark House plans to publish sometime
next year. Steve's publishing history dates back to 1949 and
Amazing Stories and Fantastic Adventures and continues on
with sales to Manhunt and other crime magazine--plus selling
to just about every pb house extant in the fifties and
sixties. In the seventies and eighties, living abroad and
traveling as usual, he wrote several international
bestsellers in the thriller mode. Then in the nineties he
wrote two massive mainstream novels that were widely embraced
by the literary establishment. Peter Rabe, John D. MacDonald,
Richard Prather and so on-- he knew them all. This should be
one hell of a book.
