reading SHOTGUN OPERA ...wow! slick read......so far, so very good...don't know which was published first, but THE WINTER OF FRANKIE MACHINE is similar but different....
when you want to write a story but don't want to research various aspects of a department or agency...is it wrong to make up things and state them authoritatively?
Exapmle: I have an idea about a story but don't really want to figure out how an organiozed crime task force really works.....mainly because it doesn't matter..but am sure there will be references back to the task force's work...
Hi Victor,
I read Pistol Poets on a plane and enjoyed it so much,
my husband read it when I was done (and he doesn't read.) Now Gun Monkeys is in my TBR pile.
It is fun to sit around and make stuff up, isn't it?
Hi, Victor. I read 'Gun Monkeys, and 'Pistol Poets' back to back. I feel a kinship with anyone who sees the hilarity in violent crime, murder, and the relevance of Monopoly to the first two.
