Deadlines: A Tribute to William E. Wallace

by Chris Rhatigan (Editor), Ron Earl Phillips (Editor), Patricia Abbott (Contributor)

Deadlines is a tribute anthology dedicated to the memory of writer and crime fiction enthusiast, William E. Wallace. A career journalist, Wallace got a first-hand look at the darker side of humanity working at various papers in California before settling at the San Francisco Chronicle. Upon retiring, Wallace engaged fully into the crime fiction community connecting with writers and readers not only to promote his own writing, but to promote other writers he enjoyed.

It is through William E. Wallace’s career and his stories that the contributors to this anthology take inspiration. These stories are presented with appreciation to his unselfish contribution to our community and our publications.

All proceeds of this publication will be donated to the Comic Book Legal Defense Fund in the name of William E. Wallace.
