About Me:

I've been away from the site for quite a long time now, though continuing to write. Did a few drafts of a horror screenplay, teaching myself to write in such a mode. It's different. I am continuing to knock around the crime novel I started a few years ago. I can't leave it alone. Have another possible indie film script in the works now. I mention that in this slot since I see low budget self made films as the likely future for anyone who would seriously hope to write a film and see it produced in these times.

For my friends here who may remember me, I have emerged through some hard times. Am now living, somewhat contentedly, with my wife and my Rhodesian Ridgeback, neither of whom ever listen to me. But I love them despite it all. And people ask me why I love noir.

I Am A:

Writer

Books And Authors I Like:

Chandler (who else?), Twain, Parker, Crais, James Lee Burke, John Burdett, Tim Dorsey, Edogawa Rampo, Hammett, Nick Tosches, Lovecraft, and Randy Wayne White.

Movies And TV Shows I Like:

Not a lot of changes since I first listed here. Except 'Beerfest' maybe. But seriously, Folks. Discovered a film, 'Hard Eight' from a few years back. Enjoyed it thoroughly. Consider the two 'Hostel' movies to pretty well be the defining literary/cinematic hallmark of the age we are now enjoying. Would not recommend them for those with delicate sensibilities, as I would not recommend living in the present age for that same group.

The original 'Miami Vice' because it's a satire of itself. Funny, I never watched it when it was first run on tv, but I own the first two seasons on DVD. 'Out Of The Past,' 'Casablanca,' "Godfathers I and II,' (sorry to be obvious and trite, but they were simply among the best films ever made,) 'Goodfellas,' 'Scarface,' and 'I Vitteloni.'
