OH JOY!  I AM SO THRILLED TO BE FORWARDING THIS MESSAGE!

Dear Amy …

            I guess it is a real shock to be hearing from me, after 
all this time.  I've been working away, writing various things, not 
having much luck beyond getting another Dossouye story published in 
the second DARK MATTER anthology.

            Now, I have some news for you.  Imaro is coming back!  
Night Shade Books will be publishing a revised version of the first 
Imaro novel in hardcover in February 2006! 

            The revision consists of a new novella I wrote to 
replace "Slaves of the Giant-Kings."  "Giant-Kings," as I may have 
told you before, made me uncomfortable because it turned out to be 
too close to the reality of the Rwanda genocide.  For that reason, I 
didn't want to bring Imaro back, as I couldn't figure out a way to 
get around that problem.  Finally, I did.  The new story has Imaro 
meeting Tanisha under completely different circumstances.  This 
affects subsequent events, so there will be other changes.

            Night Shade will publish the other two previously 
published Imaro novels, which I am in the process of revising, along 
with the unpublished fourth one I told you about, and the fifth one.  
That means that eventually, the entire Imaro saga will be in print.

            If you could spread the word on the new SciFiNoir group, 
I would appreciate it.  I was shocked when Yahoo shut it down, but I 
see that it is back in a different form.  I've tried to resubscribe, 
but I've had trouble doing it.  

            Like I said, I've been out of touch for a long time … too 
long.  But, what better news could I have now?

            If anyone in the group wants to ask me further questions 
about Imaro, my e-mail address is still the same:

            I hope all is going well with you.

 

            Charles
