According to Paul Mular (co-author of Hardy & Hardy Investigations), Applewood Books has not renewed their licensing deal with Simon & Schuster and will not be releasing any new books.
Announced titles (#17 & up) will not be issued.
It is unknown at this time if the titles already in print (#1-16) will still be available.
This writer has long castigated Phil Zuckerman, the head of Applewood Books, as being an arrogant egomaniac and, well, just an obnoxious jerk. This latest news does nothing to change that opinion. In fact, to my surprise, it has even lowered my opinion of him.
