I have been writing for 50 years and readers still read my first book from when I was in the Marine Corps.
'Rescue Me' is the first book in a three-book series. Although, like all my series, the books are purposely written so that readers do not have to read them in order.
We need to write books that publicists and marketers and booksellers and book club leaders and librarians and readers can get excited about. That have something about them that makes them stand out. That makes them shine.
A bookstore has thousands of titles to sell. You need to be the guy the store attendant recommends to the reader.
Go to any bookstore, and you'll see thousands of books on etiquette, which suggests there's a lot of self-help going on. There is hope.
Fiction writers tend to err either making people more than they are or less than they are. I'd rather err on the side of the former.
My books are comedies; I want to take my readers on a jet-setting romp, make them laugh, make them swoon at the beautiful settings, and maybe even make their mouths water at all the food.
I don't base any character on a real person, and really don't do composites either. I make them up.
We are in danger of making our cities places where business goes on but where life, in its real sense, is lost.
