    Hey David, Great to hear from you. Yes indeed I am still around. Just made a documentary on David Goodis. Would you like to have a copy? Let me know your address. I am planing a conference called NoirCon in Philadelphia. Maybe you would like to join us. Check out www.noircon.com and www.noircon.info. Yours, Lou

    Hi David, thanks for commenting back. I tend to write more in the speculative fiction genres, though a writers group friend told me a character I have is a perfect fit for a crime/caper series.

    Reading? If it's recommended, I'll read it.

    I think it's cool you have a series set in Lowell. I work at Moonstones in Chelmsford, and the owner of my restaurant ownes Cobblestones too. Let me know if you need anything for settings and such for your works.
