Oh, and as you've probably guessed, they have to be true. Volume 1 was released in 1989, and proved so popular that additional volumes have been pumped out over the last eight years. Volume 16 is scheduled to be released on -- appropriately enough -- Friday the 13th, July 2007. I have been informed that my story will be appear in that edition.<br /><br />Is the story I wrote true? Yes, I can assure you that it's 100% real. Some longtime members of the <b><a href="http://p202.ezboard.com/blovehkfilm">LoveHKFilm.com Community</a></b> may remember me sharing this story in the Totally Off-Topic Sub-Forum. And to this day, I am as baffled now as I was then by what occurred. Yes, I'm fully aware that there could be a logical explanation for the story that hinges on coincidence, but the whole thing is so damn eerie that one can't help but feel that <i>something </i>fishy must've been going on. Whether it's actually supernatural in origin, I don't really know. Unexplained? Yep. Just plain weird? Definitely. </div></div></div><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8214286467352118063-5424541748117043558?l=roninonempty.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Calvinhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12963023613018003795noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8214286467352118063.post-61401684601869636712007-07-08T00:15:00.000-07:002011-12-09T08:46:04.886-08:00<a href="http://bp1.blogger.com/_YqsEWENwCeU/RpCRFUL2STI/AAAAAAAAAL4/0yLAfQgjkh0/s1600-h/char.jpg"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5084723499805067570" src="http://bp1.blogger.com/_YqsEWENwCeU/RpCRFUL2STI/AAAAAAAAAL4/0yLAfQgjkh0/s200/char.jpg" style="cursor: hand; float: right; margin: 0px 0px 10px 10px;" /></a> <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">An essay I wrote on Asian Americans in detective fiction has been published in </span><a href="http://www.mysteryreaders.org/" style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">MYSTERY READERS JOURNAL: The Journal of Mystery Readers International</a><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">.
