Thank you, Fred. I would love to hear about Ross MacDonald. I moved to Santa Barbara (for 2 years) because I had heard of his connection with the writer's group there. I met a good friend that way. He was a terrific writer and I learned so much from reading his work early in my career that I will always be indebted to him.

I'm glad to know more about your work as well. When I saw your initial post for Cocaine, the title sounded so familiar. I thought wasn't there already a book with this title, why did he name it the same? (Not that I didn't wind up doing that recently with renaming one of mine which was why it was at the forefront of my mind.) Obviously it was your book/the movie I was thinking of.
