I am VERY happy to be able to announce that a new A. Bertram Chandler story will be published in an upcoming anthology being edited by Jack Dann.
Paul Collins, Australian author and publisher, obtained the rights to a Grimes and Kitty Kelly story back in the early 80s (Grimes was Chandler’s most popular character; Kitty Kelly interviewed Grimes on numerous occassions about his various adventures. All of the Grimes-Kelly stories except for this one were collected in the SFBC omnibus edition) and had hoped to do something with it, but those opportunities never eventuated.
I’ll not spoil Paul’s afterword (get the anthology) about how the story eventually got into Jack Dann’s hands, but I can say that Chandler fans and Chandler websites – including my own Rimworlds site and David Kelleher’s Chandler site – were at least partially responsible.
Once publication information becomes available, I’ll post it here and will also hopefully be adding ordering information to the website.
