John Woo's HK movies rule. Anyway, have you tried any other Hong Kong directors yet?
I think Ringo Lam's City on fire is a must see for every Tarantino (wel any action/thriller movies) fan.

Technology & Crime...
Hello everybody, this is my first entry, and instead of opening with greetings, a presentation, and all that kind of old (and still useful...) crap, i decided to open this page with a poll; I'd like to know what you, readers and writers of crime fiction, think about "technology in the fiction"; I tend to leave technology out of what i write as much… Continue

- Hi, Fabrizio,
You still with us?
Please have a free read of my P.I. mystery novel, FOUL SHOT, here on my page in pdf. It's set at the beach here in North Carolina and involves the killing of a famous women's pro athlete.

Liam said… - Have you ever been to San Luca in Calabria? I think it's kind of like a residential town, but I'm trying to figure out if it has businesses in it too. I'm writing about the place in my new book. Thanks.

- bc no one writes about the 'ndrangheta. nobody. i figured someone should, and that someone should be me. cosa nostra has been done so i just figured i would try something new, y'know. your story is very cool. really interesting that you lived just next door, and that they were seemingly good people.
i like writing organized crime. everything the chinese tongs to the 'ndrangheta and camorra to the irish mob, which is my favorite. i'm even planning organized crime from swedish immigrants in whatever city i end up using.

- well i don't know... what do you wanna know? well, i mean i happen to know someone who is into it, but i didn't really know that they didi till they got stuck in jail, and they still say they were just framed.... I don't really know how to tell you, but to me they looked like very polite and even generous people (they used to live next door, and mine is a two-family house, so i really got to know them) and i couldn't believe all the things that the newspapers said about them...
as for the situation down in Calabria, that I don't know, i've been there several times on holidays (you know the sea is great there) but you can't really see anything about 'ndrangheta... i guess it all just flows under the surface....
where are you from? why sometihng about 'ndrangheta? (it's been a long time since i stopped writing about organized crime... my short stories are all about robbers or immigrants, small thieves and the likes...)

- ya, noir and pulp is what i hear the most. i just call mine good ol' crime fiction, simple as that.
here's another one for you. i'm writing a new novel that features the 'Ndrangheta in San Luca, Calabria. i hear they have some braches in Torino. is that true, and do you any light to shed about it?
