Tony,
The site below had threads to his biography
http://www.rehoward.com/
"Robert E. Howard was an American original, standing
alongside such giants as Edgar Allan Poe, Dashiell
Hammett, and H.P. Lovecraft in helping to completely
redefine the face of modern literature.
Though most prominently known for creating the genre
now known as ?Sword & Sorcery?, Howard?s body of work
includes historical adventure, suspense, epic poetry,
gothic horror, sea stories and Western burlesques in
the vein of the great Mark Twain.
Over the past 75 years, Howard?s original work -
comprising more than 800 stories, poems and novels -
has gained a vast international audience. This renown
has given rise to major motion picture franchises, TV
series, comic book and graphic novel adaptations,
games, toys and merchandising."
This site-- http://www.crossplains.com/howard/--gives
a biography and a thread to a museum. Author of Conan
the Barbarian, among other works. I read the last
paragraph here?Apparently he was very attached to his
mother?so much so that he killed himself 30 hours
before she died.
At this
site--http://www.fantasticfiction.co.uk/h/robert-e-howard/--you
can find a list of his books.
Google is wonderful! There are many more sites
mentioned if you google the name. smile
Cindy
