THE LEGACY OF A. G. HAYES

ONE of my author-friends, A. G. Hayes, recently passed. It was a sad day for me and his many action/adventure affectionados. A. G. authored tens of books, short stories and screenplays during his lifetime, epitomized by his seven-book Koski and Falk series — https://savant-bookstore-honolulu.squ... as a seven-book, two-volume printed book, also available from Amazon in printed two volumes as THE COMPLETE KOSKI AND FALK VOL I — https://www.amazon.com/dp/0999693832 and VOL II — https://www.amazon.com/dp/0999693840 — and as one book in ebook format — https://www.amazon.com/dp/B086Z87Z9K. We often discussed plots, characters and presentation, co-authoring the fifth of his seven Koski & Falk books and the first in the Kate Keenan Special Assignment series, QUANTUM DEATH (2016) by A. G. Hayes and Raymond Gaynor — https://www.amazon.com/dp/0996325530. I also had the pleasure of helping conceptualize 68 VIA CONDOTTI: ETERNITY LTD — https://www.amazon.com/dp/0999463349 — the third in his Kate Keenan Special Assignment series delving into the relationship between Artificial Intelligences and humans, the first being FINDING KATE — https://www.amazon.com/dp/0997247215 — currently in production by K. Simmons Production as a six-part, made-for-television movie scheduled for release in early 2023. In it, A. G. actually appears in the part of one of his principal characters, Tom Stewart, head of the ultra-secret Cerberus organization -- https://ksmediagroupinc.com/finding-kate.

Thinking of a Holiday gift that will also honor one of the great thriller writers? May I suggest any of the above as a place to start while waiting for FINDING KATE, the movie, to come out?

I often hear that great authors a born such, but having worked for over 15 years with A. G. Hayes, I feel I can safely say that, while they may be born such, perhaps as a “natural” storyteller, it is only through years of dedication, devotion and hard work that one acquires a unique style and “natural” seeming presentation. It’s a little known fact that A. G. Hayes worked his way up not only the author ladder, but also as an actor, which I think led to the vibrancy of the dialog in his books. He was and remains a mentor to me in my acting career as Daniel S. Janik. It is to one of my personal author-friends, A. G. Hayes, I say, “Hail and farewell,” while his legacy through books, ebooks, audiobooks and forthcoming movies continues to live on.
