The walk I did years ago for science fiction and fantasy writer David Drake, in town to do a signing in Borderlands Books, came up the other day in a blog from Deuce Richardson.
Deuce liked the anecdote Drake told me about selling his first story to August Derleth at Arkham House, and wanted to circulate it around some more.
Plus if memory serves, Drake told me as we hoofed the mean streets that Hammett was one of his favorite writers — his favorite writer? I can’t say for sure after all this time, but certainly one of his faves.
