Crime Fiction on the Web
My website serves mostly as a central repository for
my short crime fiction. Fans of the hardboiled, enjoy. Please note* that the stories are loaded with graphic violence, curse words, bad people and "adult situations."

The Hagakure,
written by Yamamoto Tsunemoto in the early 1700s, is a guide to being a warrior and servant in a decadent world. It's probably known best to Westerners, at least indie-film folk and Forest Whitaker fans, as being the favorite text of the hero of
Ghost Dog.
Study it well and you could be as
cool as
Ghost Dog. (NSFW)

El Paso.
The lovely ballad of love and murder on the Mexican border won the very first Grammy for Country & Western for Marty Robbins in 1960. But for some it will never feel complete without Steve Martin's video, in which he recreates the lyrics with some non-union actors.

In 1995 a Japanese pop punk band called
The Blue Hearts wrote a song called "
Linda, Linda". In 2005 came the film
Linda, Linda, Linda, about a group of Japanese schoolgirls (plus one Korean) who have to master the song in time for their school's rock festival. Do they perform it triumphantly in an
awesome final scene? Not telling.
