Hitchcock's NORTH BY NORTHWEST - Released in Japan this day in 1959

Would love to see this series completed, at long last. It was a brilliant brand reinvention for the Archies.

It was a short tale, but it took a long path to market. All the numbers and details behind my 7th published short story.

Measurements, numbers, and notes behind "As You See The World" -- my second story for Ellery Queen Mystery Magazine. #writingcommunity

Ozymandias

latest read: Harlem Shuffle - Colson Whitehead - solid, solid set of crime stories set in '60s Harlem. Unusual in that it focuses on the fence and his life instead of the heist or the cops chasing down the crooks. Excellent all around #reading #bookblog #booksky #crimebooks

Golden ratio.

Happy 101st, Marcello. #botd

My second story for Ellery Queen Mystery Magazine was "As You See The World," a tale of obsession, taking risks, fresh starts and ... how you see the world.

Miller’s Crossing is 35. Albert Finney had such a good time making Miller’s Crossing that he turned up on his day off to appear in drag when Gabriel Byrne bursts into the ladies room.
