Do you choose writing or living? August 11, 2016. A funny thing happened to me today. A couple of conversations that went some way to highlight the distance that writing has put between me and other people with, let’s say, more regular pursuits. I have booked a little time … Continue reading →. Fear, doubt, and writer’s block. August 9, 2016. July 14, 2016. July 12, 2016. New Release and Special Offer. March 13, 2016.

DRIVE A CROOKED ROAD | LITTLE STREETS NOIR
https://littlestreetsnoir.wordpress.com/2015/05/12/drive-a-crooked-road
FREE NOIR EBOOK – ‘DARK IS THE NIGHT’ →. DRIVE A CROOKED ROAD. May 12, 2015. A movie or a book should not be. Noir in its stylistic approach, but convey a world that is. Noir, through to its core, revealing a ruthless, ungilded truth at the heart of man. Because the truth is that tough guys are a rare commodity in this world, and yet, disproportionately, they fill our most popular movies and books. But is there a very simple psychological explanation for this? Buying things ultimately serves no purpose, ...

http://a60books.blogspot.com/2015/07/death-of-flack-henry-kane-1961.html
Saturday, July 25, 2015. Death of a Flack (Henry Kane, 1961). There are three beautiful women in this one, three cases of blackmail and even three (! Towards the end this became clear to a Mr. Kane himself because he included this somehow apologetic (funny? Invent a toilet paper with a new scent for each day of the week and sit back and wipe up the profits. Hasten to promulgate the harsh facts of the interminable succession? And asks himself a rhetorical question " Did that lessen my desire for her?

Together they steal money from his employers, go on the run and end up tragically in Paris. A bagman? Highly trained professional who transports dirty money for the organized crime.

Alpha-60 Books: So Nude, So Dead aka The Evil Sleep! (Ed McBain, 1952)
http://a60books.blogspot.com/2015/08/so-nude-so-dead-aka-evil-sleep-ed.html
Thursday, August 6, 2015. So Nude, So Dead aka The Evil Sleep! Ed McBain, 1952). Wrong-place-at-the-wrong-time mystery. Of the amnesiac-awakened-by-the-corpse sub genre. With a touch of a special flavor because in this one our hero is a junkie. Which is cool - I prefer that leading character in these kind of average-guy-turns-amateur-detective types to be some sort of "society reject" than the usual doctor, school teacher, priest and so on. Loose ends and coincidences. The final whodunit is decent al...
