Loved the SAVAGE NIGHT video. Must have been cold out. I was sitting here with the laptop on the back patio and its about 78 F right now here in Southern CA.

Allan,
Nice job in HELL OF A WOMAN. I appreciate all of the contributions from you here and on RARA AVIS. I'm definitely going to acquire more of your writings.
Thanks Allan for the comment. 'Kiss Her Goodbye' was a total blast when I read it. 'The Hard Man' is on my to be read list

Allan,
I'm giving talks locally on mystery sub-genres, and I'm looking for a current noir writer to give me a two or three sentence quote about why you think people enjoy the sub-genre. I haven't read your book but I will try to do so in order to speak intelligently about your work.
(If you need a connection, my novel takes place in Scotland, only it's back a thousand years or so.)
Aye aye, thanks for the invite. Glad we're now officially friends (what the hell were we before?). Just noticed from your film list that 'The Phantom of Liberty' is on there. Brilliant film. Thought I was the only one who'd ever seen it.
