Original covers from Alyson Publications in 1995
They were penned by R. J. Hamilton, which was a pseudonym for none other than Ruth Sims, author of The Phoenix and Counterpoint: Dylan’s Story. The series died in infancy when Alyson Publications was sold shortly after the first two titles came out. The new owners promptly cancelled the series even though two more books had been completed. The first two then lapsed out of print and The Pride Pack was never given a fair chance.
Now 16 years later, Ruth Sims, with the help of Drewey Wayne Gunn, is bringing the series back into print via Cheyenne Publishing. The books will be given sparkling new covers designed by Jordan Taylor, and each volume will include a new introduction from one of Ruth’s fellow authors as well as an afterword by Wayne Gunn which will place the books in their proper historical context.
Unfortunately the manuscript for the fourth book in the series is lost, but the first three will make their Cheyenne debuts in September. And who knows, that fourth manuscript might just yet turn up in someone’s attic!
