With these long-running series it's always a bit bewildering figuring out exactly who wrote particular books.dfordoomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02306293859869179118noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6984067990467963645.post-2978590368118617692023-04-03T08:09:30.190-07:002023-04-03T08:09:30.190-07:00Posted that too quickly.

I really enjoyed writing for the series. I hope you'll read more of them. There are some stinkers, of course, but overall it's a consistently good series.James Reasonerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18049917964433932612noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6984067990467963645.post-79992166538676445342023-04-03T08:07:25.971-07:002023-04-03T08:07:25.971-07:00I just came across this blog and can see I'm g...I just came across this blog and can see I'm going to have to go back to the first and read the archives. Good stuff! I can give you some information on the Longarm series. This particular entry was written by Will C. Knott. Lou Cameron created the series and wrote many of them. Starting out the regular rotation of authors was Lou Cameron, Mel Marshall, and Will C. Knott, with each man writing every third book. This only holds true for about the first three dozen, though. After that the rotation becomes much more haphazard, so you might get two in a row by the same author. Harry Whittington joined the stable with #28 but wrote only six books. His last one was #48, after which he told the editor (according to Bill Crider), "From where the sun now stands, I will write no more Longarm forever." Frank Roderus replaced Whittington in the group, and later a bunch of other authors contributed Longarm novels, including myself. My first one was LONGARM AND THE GOLDEN DEATHJames Reasonerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18049917964433932612noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6984067990467963645.post-59279201191647766802023-01-04T08:12:59.565-08:002023-01-04T08:12:59.565-08:00Every used bookstore I ever go to, in the Western ...Every used bookstore I ever go to, in the Western section, there are mounds of 'Longarm' paperbacks. So if you want to pursue further entries in the Longarm franchise, be assured, they await you in bulk.........tarbanduhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08205251855147881113noreply@blogger.com
