Lost Authors

[Jon Shannow]

Hi I am new hear but I am hoping someone can help me. I recently was working my way through my selves and I found some old favs.These are some of the most enjoyable fantasy I ever read but they vanished mid series and I have never been able to find any more of there books. Did they retire or something abit more bleak than that or are they happily writing away and I just can't get there books here in Australia .Anyway they are...

DAN CRAWFORD I have got three of his books in the Rossacotta Series: The Sure Death of a Mouse, Rouse a Sleeping Cat, and A Wild Dog and Lone.

J.F. RIVKIN this one is abit more complex as this is the pen name of two Authors but still here goes The Silverglass Series: Silverglass, Web of Wind, Witch of Rhostshyl, Mistress of Ambiguities. After this they spilt up one writing a book called T-Rex and the other writing two books under the name of Ellen Fox Season of Shadows, Season of Storms. Then they both seemed to vanish

ANY INFO WOULD GREATLY APPRICIATED

This might help. Might not too!

I looked at the Index to SF on Locus Online and on there those three are the only books by Crawford. He does have a bunch of stories that have been published more recently (2001) that are listed on these pages:

I checked several books sites and they showed the same thing. Just those three books by him, with the last one being in 1992.

Isn't it frusterating when you finally find an amazing author unlike any you've ever read before, all wrapped up in this one book, and find that s/he hasn't written any more or all of the other books are lost in out-of-print land? I had that problem not too long ago when I discovered Warp Angel by Stuart Hopen. It is such a wonderful book! An almost-military fantasy mixed with Jewish theology, now that's a combination I find unique. I salvaged it from the library's "free box" a few years ago and haven't been able to find out anything about him since.
