It seems that most of my email these days focuses on one question: Where is Nick Travers? Don’t fret, folks. He’s still around. If you read Nine Below Zero in the Delta Blues short story collection, you’ll know he’s happily living in an Airstream trailer in Clarksdale, Mississippi. He also showed up in Last Fair Deal Gone Down in last year’s rerelease of Crossroad Blues. But more is on the way. In 2011, Busted Flush Press is bringing back both Dark End of the Street and Leavin’ Trunk Blues in special edition trade paperbacks. Each new edition, as with Crossroad Blues, will feature a new Nick Travers’ short story. All three editions were designed by the amazing graphic artist, Mark Francis. So who can say? It would be good to see him in a new adventure soon. — Ace
