Mark Sullivan:
<<Ths is the same premise of Mark Schorr's three
Diamond books, about a cab driver who believes he is a pulp
PI. I read the first a long time ago and recall enjoying it;
I've got the other two in a box somewhere, maybe I should dig
them out.>>
What happened to Schorr? After a great beginning, he dropped
out of sight (at least in the mystery genre). Is he another
victim of publisher's greed? By the way, there is a
discussion going on in rec.arts.mystery about the situation
of midlist authors who are being dropped by their publishers.
It's particularly relevant to hardboiled authors. I can
envision "guilds" of authors publishing directly in
electronic form and selling from a Web site. Without paper,
the investment is modest and the profits potentially large,
or at least greater than zero.
