Someone was asking about Frank McAuliffe. I believe I
explicated on
his work here only a few months ago -- has Rara Avis archives
to be
referred to so that we needn't endlessly repeat information
here?
My career as a mystery writer lasted approximately six
months. In
that time I wrote a novel, the beginning of a second, and
five shorts,
all but one still seeking homes, and two agents (one a
putative
friend) have refused to represent me. Now I'm again
gainfully
employed, writing 3,000 to 4,000 words a day for an internet
site, and
I'm not sure when I'll get back to Writing again. I miss
it
already. But a steady paycheck is appealing. (If anyone
is
interested in reading the novel, contact me off-list. I'm
told it's
"fast-moving" but "old-fashioned.") What a shame that now
that I
could write for it, the old Gold Medal line is gone....
