Many thanks to everyone who provided information on Charyn.
It will eventually be put to good use.
Crime Factory will attempt to address all types of crime
fiction including true crime and there will be at least one
hardboiled article per issue. The first issue is out in Feb
2001 and is free so if you would like to receive a copy just
let me have your postal details. Alternatively go to the
links section at http://members.optusnet.com.au/~honey007
and look for crime factory. This probably won't be up for a
couple of days though. I will be replying to those of you who
have asked about contributor guidelines. David
