It's Friday, and I'm sharing my beautiful cover again because how stunning is this photo by Keith Bernstein? And how lovely are the things these amazing writers have said about my debut out March 3rd?

The ways and the depths the staff of @moviejawn.com write about movies would make corporate mainstream publications and glossy websites green with envy. No film is too big nor too niche for this group of movie nerds to review. No ads, no πŸ€– just writers. Support freelance indie writers today!πŸ‘‡πŸ»

Myopic Duplicity e-book cover referencing my story β€œThe High Priest of Low Men” with a blurb from Victor De Anda that’s says β€œBlackwell's story gnaws at you with poetic violence and beauty. It simmers in anger at the world's injustices and explodes with a reckoning we all pray would come true."

The Story of Lee Marvin, Gene Hackman, and Quite Possibly the Strangest American Crime Film of the 1970s Want to talk about one of the strangest, if not the strangest American crime film to emerge in the first half of the 1970s? Then, let’s talk about Michael Ritchie’s neo-noir Prime Cut, as it turns …

β€œPrime Cut” was a movie filled with stars – and violent, grotesque meat metaphors. Also, it was a mirror for the decade's American experience. crimereads.com/lee-marvin-g...
