Introduction

This collection, compiled and edited by Bobby Derie, presents the surviving correspondence of Novalyne Price Ellis—schoolteacher, writer, and friend of Robert E. Howard. At the center of the letters is her decades-long effort to complete a memoir of Howard, eventually published as One Who Walked Alone in 1986. The letters trace her frustrations, setbacks, and eventual triumph in telling the story as she remembered it, despite competing narratives and outside pressures.

Given away for free during Howard Days 2025, this edition includes correspondence with Glenn Lord and others, documenting the long path toward one of the most personal and important accounts of Howard's life.
