[ODD74] Some Comments from Dave, 2004 (Mortality Radio)

[Havard]

No problem. Best to have things like this archived in several places. I noticed (again) that Dave mentions the Horseclans series as inspiration and this still puzzles me. I did a bunch of web searching and every source seems to confirm that Adams' first published novel was also the first Horseclans book in 1975. While it might have inspired Blackmoor's evolution, it can't have inspired the 1970-71 genesis.

I'm sure it was just his memory being wrong years later, but it also explains why Horseclans keeps coming up on lists.

Someone said the Horseclans series were published in magazine format before they became released as novels. I have yet to have that confirmed though.

On a side note, I am working on a new lead to get hold of the full Mortality Radio inteview.
