City of Whores is no more! Coming May 6, 2025 from Amble Press, an imprint of Bywater Books. And Introducing Dexter Gaines: A Novel of Old Hollywood is a reworked, revised edition of City of Whores.

“Television won't be able to hold on to any market it captures after the first six months. People will soon get tired of staring at a plywood box every night.”
Darryl F. Zanuck

“I'm not young. What's wrong with that?”
Vivien Leigh

Truman Capote
“I like to talk on TV about those things that aren't worth writing about.”
Truman Capote

“I wouldn't be caught dead marring a woman old enough to be my wife.”
Tony Curtis

Tennessee Williams
“Yes, movies! Look at them — All of those glamorous people — having adventures — hogging it all, gobbling the whole thing up! You know what happens? People go to the movies instead of moving! Hollywood characters are supposed to have all the adventures for everybody in America, while everybody in America sits in a dark room and watches them have them! Yes, until there's a war. That's when adventure becomes available to the masses! Everyone's dish, not only Gable's! Then the people in the dark room come out of the dark room to have some adventures themselves — Goody, goody! — It's our turn now, to go to the south Sea Island — to make a safari — to be exotic, far-off! — But I'm not patient. I don't want to wait till then. I'm tired of the movies and I am about to move!”
Tennessee Williams, The Glass Menagerie
