What happened to Brian Daley & Robert Don Hughes?
Jim Lahue
Brian Daley wrote the Coramonde series ("Doomfarers of..." and
"Starfollowers of..."), "A Tapestry of Magic", the "Adventures of
Hobert Floyt and Alacrity Fitzhugh" books ("Requiem for a Ruler of
Worlds", Jinx on a Terran Inheritence", "Fall of the White Ship Avatar")
and some Han Solo books. In general, they were very good reading
(...I didn't read the Han Solo books...). However, it has been quite
some time since he has come out with anything new. Anyone know what he
is doing now-a-days?
Robert Don Hughes wrote the "Pelmen the Powershaper" series ("The Prophet
of Lamath", "The Wizard in Waiting" and "The Power and the Prophet") and
the follow-on "Wizard & Dragon" series ("The Forging of the Dragon" and
"The Faithful Traitor"). It has also been awhile since he has written
anything....

: Brian Daley ... Anyone know what he is doing now-a-days?
Ellen Key Harris may pop up with more details, but Daley's been
writing as Jack McKinney with James Luceno. Robotech novels,
and the Black Hole Detective Agency 4 novel series.
Don't know about Hughes -- I can't find him in my sf encyclopedia,
either.

should be released some time soon as a book. He did an interview
on a local radio show last year when they started to replay
Star Wars. He mentioned that he wanted to get back to the Floyt
books eventualy.

He's a minister in a denomination that's very strong on mission work. Doesn't
get much writing done when he's out of the country, though -- or at least he
doesn't get it published.
It's been years since I've heard anything, though, so that may not be the
reason for the present silence.

Robert Don Hughes is back in the U.S. and is with a university in the
south. He is working on the third Wizard and Dragon book, but it is
moving VERY slowly--the last I heard about it was two years ago or
so. So we're all waiting to see what happens...

STAR WARS: THE NATIONAL PUBLIC RADIO DRAMATIZATION will be published
in October in trade paperback with storyboard and concept-sketch art
(_that_ was fun to pick out in the basement of Skywalker Ranch!) and
an explanatory introduction by Brian Daley who answers the questions:
what is this dramatization thing; how is it different from the movie;
_why_ is it different from the movie; and how is the original script
different from the broadcast/tapes (and why)?
