Paul is the author of fifteen novels and has written numerous scripts for episodic television and feature films. He currently works as a deception detection consultant for private companies faced with potentially damaging in-house data breaches, industrial espionage, or corporate sabotage. A 35 year veteran of the LAPD, he was twice honored as LAPD’s Detective of the Year. Novelist, screenwriter, and television personality, Paul Bishop is a nationally recognized behaviorist and deception detection expert. And I can’t wait for Harker’s next case.Come on, Bill-get back to your blazing keyboard and start writing. I can’t wait for you to read and enjoy Drop Dead Blond, as I did. I now have a new favorite among Bill’s great characters to follow. How could you not read further? How could you not know you need to hold on ‘cause a hell of a ride is coming? I’m only glad Harker is on the side of the guardian angels-even if his wings are dirty and God could catch him grabbing a smoke and taking a slug of booze at any second.ĭrop Dead Blond will suck you in from its opening line: It wasn’t every day that AJ Harker came home to find a beautiful dead woman on his door step. Harker takes on the big game, those who do violence and kill without mercy. Having walked some mean streets myself, I recognize Harker’s attitude as belonging to a dangerous predator-but Harker’s prey is never those who are weaker than him. He has all the earmarks of Bill’s best characters, but he has an attitude all his own. Harker-and a sharper, tougher, operator to handle a case would be hard to find. However, Bill’s Key West Mysteries, which chronicle the cases of Rick Marlow, ex-NYPD cop turned chief investigator for powerful attorney Walter Loomis, have been my favorites among his many novels-until now.ĭrop Dead Blond, the novel following this brief introduction, brings to life Miami Beach private cop A. Then there were the thrilling espionage tales of Caribe the fantastical, over the top, adventures experienced by Chicago cop Jack Riley the exploits of Indianapolis private eye, Philip Chandler the cases of private eye Rebekah McCabe and many more. Mitch Cooper, a retired Naval Intelligence officer turned San Diego security consultant, caught my eye next.
#NAKED DROP DEAD BLONDE SERIES#
I started off these new series with classic hardboiled private eye, Sam Decker. I soon discovered there were many more series flowing from Bill’s blazing keyboard-each one unique from the others.
For me, Hannigan’s escapades brought back the pleasant days when I first discovered Doc Savage and Tarzan. I first discovered Bill’s work in the adventures of Hardluck Hannigan, a pulp-style hero who puts Indiana Jones to shame. Like the pulp writers before him, Bill is constantly putting words on paper-every day without fail. Like his own writing heroes-the wordslingers who wrote prolifically for the content hungry pulp magazines back in the day-Bill writes in numerous genres, most often in the mystery, western, science fiction, and pulp adventure arenas. In the twenty years since the publication of his first novel, Bill has released almost ninety novels-each one being snapped up by fans hungry for the next installment in one of his many series.Ī more versatile writer working in the current market would be hard to find. He made me laugh once by telling me, it only took me 34 years to become an overnight success. While he started creating early, Bill was forty before his first novel was published. However, while I was messing around with vocabulary words, Bill was putting me to shame by writing full-blown stories springing unprompted from his imagination. You all remember the standard homework assignment of using the week’s vocabulary words in a sentence? Apparently, I was the only one in the class who strung all those sentences together to make a story. Teaching himself to read by age four, he started writing his own stories when he turned six…Six! I was a precocious little sod, but it still took me until age ten before I began scribbling my own tales. All names, characters, locales, incidents are the product of the author’s imagination, and any resemblance to actual events, locales or persons is entirely coincidental.īill Craig is a Renaissance man.
