Gary - keep looking - they do appear from time to time (in fact - check out http://www.abebooks.co.uk/, they have 6 in their listings at present). I find it a fascinating book, part 'teach yourself bricklaying' and part biographical. As you may know, DW was an accomplished amateur bricklayer and bui...

In 1964, it was planned to do a TV series from the Roger Brook and de Richlieu stories, and in 1965 Wheatley mentioned that a new series in colour was also being planned around Gregory Sallust. However due to economic reasons, the projects never got completed. Currently I can reveal that there is so...

I'm glad someone else likes the short stories. I love reading and re-reading them. Like Gary, I also enjoy the Ghost Hunter series and in a quaint way the Pawlett-Browne series. Yes there are a number of short stories still unpublished and maybe one day I'll get permission to add the ones I know of ...

Seasonal Greetings
I'll probably get hauled over the coals by the PC brigade for this, but in true DW style:
[align=center] MERRY CHRISTMAS and a HAPPY NEW YEAR TO ALL ! [/align]
(Be sure to check out the bells!)

How did you 'meet' DW?
Most of you who have browsed the web site know my tale of discovering DW as a teenager with a torch under the bedclothes when I used to 'borrow' books from my mother's collection. Also the horror of later finding out the collection (all signed copies) had gone, but that even if they hadn't, my mothe...

Alan - very many congratulations. As you know I should throw your topic out for your blatent self-indulgancies, but because you've dedicated your book to 'Those Modern Musketeers +', I'll turn a blind eye. ;-) Re other books dedicated to DW, I am aware of the following: William Younger's 'Inconstant...

Historical Correctness
Phil Baker has drawn to my attention that over the past week The Guardian, Observer and The Times have all carried an obituary to the writer, etc. Ronald Pearsall. In it, they all mention that [Pearsall] ... was also one of the team that wrote Dennis Wheatley thrillers after Wheatley died in 1977. B...

OK - I'll be first! I had been warned by Phil Baker that he would come over as a bumbling idiot compared to all the other egg-heads round the table, and I got the distinct impression that DW was going to be set up again by the media as the far-right who could only be reviled by today's 'liberalists'...
