Don D’Auria, the editor who created Leisure’s venerable horror line and oversaw the Western and Thriller lines, and editorial director Leah Hultenschmidt have both been let go as part of a staff reduction. Apparently, the entire editorial department is now one person: Chris Keeslar.

Btw, remember that "Fresh Blood" contest, the winner of which was to win a Leisure book contract? Yeah, that was supposed to be completed at the end of this month.
