About the author

I'm a former newspaper reporter, columnist, and travel guide author living in Vermont and writing stuff I actually like. For now, that means noir, crime fiction and humor (allegedly).

A major influence is Holly Martins, the pulp fiction writer in the 1949 classic The Third Man (played by Joseph Cotton). No one's heard of him except Sgt. Paine (Bernard Lee, later "M" in 11 Bond flics), the Other Ranks Brit soldier who has read some of Martins' cheap Westerns (and ends up socking him in the jaw). At the end of the movie, Martins doesn't get the girl. Set your sights low, I always say.

Holly Martins : Did you ever hear of "The Lone Rider of Santa Fe"?

Maj. Calloway : Can't say that l have.

Holly Martins : "Death at Double-X Ranch"? Uh, "Raunch".
