Congrats! I assume this is the Akitada series and not the new one you mentioned you were working on.

Name the dog 'Rupert' and the dead chic "Mrs. Murdock."

We agree on a lot of points about Marlow, Jon. For me, Marlowe was the ultimate pessimist fueled by booze. A border line alcoholic who . . as you have pointed out . . trusted no one. And certainly didn't trust women. But he was a lot like the cha...

Hey, brother! Glad you signed up. Being on the ground floor of a new publisher holds much promise, methinks. Whatever happens, the journey should be interesting.

I've got children as well who haven't read a thing I'v published. It must be a curse.

Dana, just asking--but what's the difference between Chandler's Phillip Marlowe flawed character and a 21st Century hero's flaws? (not trying to start an arguement--just curious to see what the definition of the modern hero might be)

B.R.Stateham replied to Mike Dennis's discussion 'SMASHWORDS'

Smashwords just made a deal to have their works load onto Kindle. And they've bought out a ebook publisher from Australia (?) recently. Sounds to me like a very viable option to consider.

And let me give you the perfece (?) example: the original Batman of the comics, and now found in the new movie series. . . is one step away from becoming a truly mean bad ass. He fights his demons everyday. Yet he somehow keeps them bottled up and...

A new story up over on my blog

I have another one of my Turner/Frank cop stories up over on my blog. Go over and read it--maybe join up and become a fan. Hell, maybe you'll read it and find an inspiration to write a hilarious comedy script! Stranger things have happened.

Historical detective. 'Ffolkes' Medicine' due out either in December or early January.

The pirate-detective novel I've mention called 'Ffolkes' Medicine' is due to come late this December or in early January.

Pirates--murder--egos as large as the Caribbean itself--what's not to like?

Check out ShadowLine Press web page

For those of us who dream of getting published, you should go over to ShadowLine Press and check'em out. They're new--and they're looking for writers. The kind of writers found in here. Being brand new means everyone is starting on the ground floor. Kinda exciting, if you ask me.

And when you go over there, check out their 'authors' page. Neat, Maynard.

They're at

"A Freak'en Mess,' is on my blog

Go to my blog and read a Turner Hahn/Frank Morales short story entitled 'A Freak'en Mess.' It's another one of my noir-police-procedural stories.

I'm thinking about collecting all these damn things and going straight to Kindle as a book of short stories (or have I said this, already? Ha! Senility!)

Oh. . . and why not join up as a member? You see, you can throw darts at my stories and we'll all feel better.

A stupid question: is it possible . . . .

Hardback novels going at between $25 and $35 per. Expensive, to say the least. So here's the stupid question; is it possible to craft a hardback book for less than $20--and make a profit?

If 'No' what makes'em so expensive? If 'Yes' then why in hell aren't publishers cranking'em out? Surely they see the potential of selling more books if they were cheaper?

Is it really true that outrageous up-front money to major authors contribute to outrageous book prices? Or is it more like the industry is… Continue
