The books were written between the writing of Eightball and Slaughter's Hound, and it's my understanding that Harry Rigby himself wrote them, as one element of his therapy while he was 'in care'. Given our relationship, of course, I'll happily publish the books under my name, and cut Harry in for a percentage.

I ask because when I read the draft of The Big Empty (sorry not had a chance to pick up SH yet), which became Slaughters Hound dear old Harry was pretty fresh out of prison. I thought TBE was an immediate sequel to EBB but your recent news about the unpublished novels got me wondering how these three fit into chronology of the series? Anyhows, really hope the three do see the light of the e-publishing day soon and looking forward to reading them.Alan Griffithshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12890190137499272096noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4938060587020568315.post-44283314294695739032013-03-05T22:36:31.565+00:002013-03-05T22:36:31.565+00:00Much obliged, Seth.
