We have a patron who says he 'heard' that another author is writing novels
using the Travis McGee character created by John D. MacDonald. MacDonald's
McGee titles usually had a color in the title, such as "The Lonely Silver
Rain" and "The Deep Blue Goodbye". This feature maybe part of the new
title also.

Anyone familiar with this? I've not read any of Macdonald's books so am
unable to help with this myself but for some reason the above is giving me
a sense of deju vu(?). Much thanks in advance.

Your deja vu sense may be coming from me. I sent in a request about this
last year. I also had a patron who had heard something similar, but have
not been able to find anything. I am stumped.

I had a few minutes before knocking off for the day and did a quick
& dirty search on the 'Net for "Travis McGee." I came across a
website that one can e-mail questions. I quickly scanned the site,
it seems "OK" and he welcomes questions. So, if anyone is
determined, he/she might want to try e-mailing a sequel question
to:

Good luck & BYE!

Thanks to Paula, Susan and Marla. We will try the e-mail site with our
question.

I the Travis McGee titles are being re-released in paperback with a
forward added by Carl Haissen...the Flordia-based mystery writer who is
considered to be the 'new??' John D. MacDonald.
