It's a very special honor to have acquired the rights to Currey's award-winning work Fatal Light, as well as his Pushcart and O.Henry-winning short story collection, The Wars of Heaven.  SFWP is currently planning a release of Fatal Light. 

Richard Currey's Fatal Light, widely regarded as an enduring classic of the Vietnam War—and cited by Joyce Carol Oates as among the best novels of the 20th century—will be reissued in a special 20th Anniversary Edition by the Santa Fe Writers Project.

The phenomenal bestseller was first published in 1988, subsequently appearing in more than 20 different editions and 11 languages. It was short—listed for the PEN/Hemingway Award and received, among a number of honors, the Vietnam Veterans of America's Excellence in the Arts Award, an Enoch Pratt Library of Baltimore Book Award, and the Special Citation of the Hemingway Foundation.

Updated the above post.  Fatal Light won't make it out in 2008, thanks to some production issues.  But we'll get to it soon.  Right now, I'll tease you with the latest version of the cover art:
