I worked with the translator (his daughter Yuko) to reduce it from a novella to a short story, and was instrumental in getting EQMM to accept it. They have published eight of my translations to date -- six Paul Halter stories, one Pierre Very and one Alexandre Dumas (you read that correctly.)<br /><br />I would very much like you to contact me on pugmire1@yahoo.com at your earliest convenience<br /><br />John PugmireAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8031063966272508587.post-24107993607835378312013-01-07T01:02:06.739+01:002013-01-07T01:02:06.739+01:00Shimada's P no Misshitsu (I guess it will be s...Shimada's <i>P no Misshitsu</i> (I guess it will be something like <i>The Locked Room of P</i>)) should appear early this year: Shimada Souji had mentioned on his Twitter account that he had signed the contract and such for the translation's appearance early 2013 in EQMM.Ho-Linghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04673330638260132388noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8031063966272508587.post-38181311210224029742013-01-06T07:45:08.283+01:002013-01-06T07:45:08.283+01:00A fantasy book is a nice idea: it would make for a...A fantasy book is a nice idea: it would make for a feeling of two separate worlds, a sort of parallel dimension; although what you said about it being unconvincing could be true. Then again, there are a lot of truths that can be drawn from fictional works: like the biography of Charles M. Schulz, drawing parallels between his life and the world of Charlie Brown. There would be certain moment in Schulz's life and then there would be a certain comic strip that matches it. It gave some insight into the artist.<br /><br />If you worked backwards from a fictional work that is partly autobiographical, given enough time and research, it might be possible to map out certain parts of a person's life, even though the deduction could be as "shakey" as a Snoopy ink drawing.<br /><br />Anyways, your post made me interested in reading more of Shimada's stories. To answer your question at the end, I remember you mentioned a Shimada novelette in EQMM, but I'm not sure what issue it's in. I'd definitely buy an issue, but I wanted to ask you if you knew the month. The EQMM website doesn't seem to mention Shimada.Pikkonhttp://layonthecrime.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.com
