Abstract

[First paragraph]

Late in 2006 I received a query from Rob Reginald at Borgo Press asking if I would be interested in gathering my scattered essays and publishing them as a collection. My relationship with Rob had begun nearly twenty years earlier: in 1993 he had published my second book, William Eastlake: High Desert Interlocutor. Rob had left the publishing business for a few years, but now he was back. Borgo had become an imprint of Wildside Press (specialists in Fantasy and SF titles), and Rob was quickly adapting to the new protocols of publish-on-demand, e-books, et al. He had already agreed to publish 43 Views of Steve Katz, my study of the brilliant, neglected novelist, written in forty-three non-sequential chapters—a book I had thought destined to stay in word processor electron limbo forever. I was grateful to Rob, and I trusted him to know what he was doing; I agreed to shuffle through my back pages.
