I've been ill and laying low but thanks to the wonders of scheduling, my latest Author Talk is up. The starting question is: Do you listen to music when you're writing? As per, I digress... The sketch shown is of an old pal dancing to The Smiths back in the day. www.youtube.com/watch?v=WV35...

Noir, noir, noir... my latest Author Talk is about film adaptations from books by one of my favourite authors, James M. Cain. It didn't hurt that the adaptations starred three of Hollywood's most iconic femme fatales #Noir #AuthorTalk
