The Godfather (I and II), Goodfellas, Blood Simple, Law and Order (original, not spinoffs), The Shield

    Hi, J.D. & welcome!

    I've just started Gischler's GUN MONKEYS and am loving it. I can relate to the gaps in reading, too. So many great writers...

    Thanks for the welcome. And thanks to others as well. I'm still figuring out how to navigate the site. Also, I'm contemplating the irony that people involved in crime fiction are so friendly. Go figure.

    Hi John and thanks for the push-up, above, on Pulp Pusher. Really wish it was all my own graft, but I just do the donkey work. Frontera Dogs is one hell of a story though, so thanks again for the contribution!

    Hi, JD! Thanks for getting the word out about Pulp Pusher -- seems right up my dark, desolate alley. I'm off to peruse the site right now.
