Charles Saunders is the author of the legendary "Imaro" 'sword and sorcery" novels. It is great stuff featuring a black hero and it was written over thirty years ago.
~rave! [EMAIL PROTECTED] OH JOY! I AM SO THRILLED TO BE FORWARDING THIS MESSAGE! WOOHOO! YIPPEE! Ecstatic Amy 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will publish the other two previously published Imaro novels, which I am in the process of revising, along with the unpublished fourth one I told you about, and the fifth one.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: [EMAIL PROTECTED] I hope all is going well with you.
