(Continued from COLEY On Voodoo Island, Pt. 3)
The 2nd self-published Coley book by John Blackburn was a collection of short stories that apparently all took place sometime after his 6 weeks on Voodoo Island. At the moment, it's impossible to be sure when these were done, and over how much of a stretch of time. I have read that the 1st story in the book, "Bus Ride", was the 1st Coley story that Blackburn did.
Blackburn's work appeared in a number of "men's" magazine, and I rather imagine some, if not all of these, were published much earlier than this book.
If I can ever track this information down, I'll be sure to add to to my blog here, particularly the several-page overview I put together back in 2012!
As I stressed with the 1st book, I don't own this work, and I'm cleaning up and coloring these stories purely FOR FUN. But if circumstances present themselves where I am able to re-publish this work at some time, the FIRST thing I'd do would be to contact Blackburn's estate, find whoever it is that owns the Copyrights, and strike a deal to SPLIT any potential profits from such an undertaking.
In the meantime... ENJOY!
