First off, I should note that THE FIRST QUARRY has now received two nominations, for an Anthony and a Barry Award, both for best paperback. The fields of other nominees are tough but it's nice to see the book noticed. It is frankly weird to have started back up a series I began in college in the '70s...but fun. Both awards are given at Bouchercon, and I'll be there.

Second, for eastern Iowa fans and friends: Crusin' is playing July 4 on the Pearl City Plaza patio for the Underground restaurant. This is the same location where we played not long ago to a capacity audience. We'll start around 6:45 PM and play up to and for a while after the fireworks (with a great view from the patio). We are doing a mix of originals and classic rock, leaning on bands we appeared with.

Fans everywhere should check out this review of G.I. JOE: ABOVE AND BEYOND at Bookgasm.

When I did that 4 favorites thing last week, I inevitably left some favorites out. There were many of 'em, but I should probably have included LI'L ABNER as one of the four musicals/comedies I could watch over and over. Can't believe I left that out. It has my favorite exchange in any movie, when Abner (Peter Palmer) asks Appasionata Von Climax (Stella Stevens) about the arrangement with General Bullmoose:

"Does you get bed and bored?"

"Extremely."

Among the many TV shows I listed, I should have included THE MATCH GAME, particularly the Richard Dawson years. Apparently he didn't get along with Brett Somers and Charles Nelson Reilly, but they were a great comic trio. You need to seek out THE LIFE OF REILLY, by the way, the wonderful one man show movie with CNR near the end of his life. Very talented and funny man.

Elvis Costello would have been among my favorite male singers but I am among those he continues to irritate with his non-rock 'n' roll albums. The current blue grass thing is listenable, at least, unlike the opera singer one (the woman sang horribly off-key) which I threw off the Centennial Bridge crossing from Davenport to Rock Island (the CD, not the female opera singer, though I would have if I'd had the chance).

Seduction of the Innocent: The Golden Age CD Cover

The San Diego Con is coming up, and Seduction of the Innocent — my "comic book" rock band — is a guest. We aren't playing, because the con doesn't have the right venue for us. But we will be doing several signings (dates TBA), and will have 200 copies of an official bootleg of our 1999 gig at San Diego. It includes lots of garage band stuff and a few originals. If we bring any copies home, they will be available here.

I wrote liner notes, but eventually had to edit them way down. I thought you might like to see the longer first draft:

It started with my son Nate, in 1987 only five years old and listening to Dr. Demento. Which meant I was listening to Dr. Demento, too, and got interested in "Fish Heads" and "Party in Your Pants" and other great bad-taste tunes from Barnes & Barnes. I knew Bill Mumy was half of that duo, and approached him at a San Diego Comic Con dance honoring Jack Kirby. He signed something for me, we chatted, I got introduced to Miguel Ferrer, and (since I was a comics pro) got invited to hang out. I knew Steve Leialoha through cartoonist Trina Robbins, and he joined this informal gang as we stood taking in a band that none of us liked. I said to Bill, "We could go up there cold and do better." (I knew Miguel had been a session drummer.) Bill agreed. Steve, in his low-key way, smiled and said, "I play bass." Somebody from the con (Jackie Estrada?) eavesdropped all this, and by the end of the evening we had been invited to play at the next San Diego Con. Miguel named the band "Seduction of the Innocent" that very night.

My ‘60s revival band Crusin’, back in Iowa (still together!), had a list of garage-band stuff that Seduction built its set list around. Bill added in some very hip things, like "Cinnamon Girl," "All Along the Watch Tower" and "Shake Your Hips," and we practiced in his living room, blowing out all the speakers on his stereo (I don’t believe we ever reimbursed him). It fell together pretty easily and we liked each other’s company, and laughed a lot. That’s all it takes for a band to work.

Over the next decade, we played San Diego numerous times and had a few other assorted gigs (Wondercon, Charlotte Heroes Con, a private party at the Santa Monica Pier). Chris Christensen (who had produced a Will Eisner LP) offered to put out a Seduction CD. We wrote songs for it, recorded it at Bill’s (not using his stereo speakers) and it came out well. "Pussy Whipped" got some airplay, even back in Iowa (Crusin’ had to learn it). Around then, Chris joined the band (playing drums when Miguel sang out front, and guitar when Miguel drummed) and was a terrific addition. We made a music video of "The Truth Hurts" (with our friend Brandon Lee) and played the original stuff at cons. Finally San Diego got too big and unwieldy to find room for us, and this live performance was our last to date...although smaller cons are free to inquire about gigs. We are actors and artists, and can be bought.

Several people have mentioned seeing KING OF THE WEEDS listed on Amazon as a book coming out this year — it's even available for pre-order. How exactly a phantom like this gets into the system, I don't know. But KING OF THE WEEDS — which is one of the six substantial Mike Hammer manuscripts Mickey Spillane left for me to finish — isn't even written yet. In fact, of those six Hammer novels, it's scheduled to be the sixth, as (like GOLIATH BONE) it's about Hammer in the last days of his career. As I've mentioned here, the next Hammer will be the '60s era THE BIG BANG, published next year. This year I'll be doing KISS HER GOODBYE, a '70s Hammer, for 2011 publication. That will be the end of the current contract, so KING OF THE WEEDS isn't even under contract yet, anywhere.

A number of projects are on the horizon but aren't quite official yet. Terry Beatty and I are in serious discussions to do a new Ms. Tree graphic novel, which would herald a complete reprinting of the series in uniform format. I am close to signing with DC/Vertigo to do RETURN TO PERDITION as a graphic novel — this would be the last, chronologically, of the saga and a direct sequel to the prose novel ROAD TO PARADISE. Efforts to get ROAD TO PURGATORY made, from my screenplay and with me directing, continue, and are looking favorable. All of these, however, are not "done deals." Stay tuned.

Jeffrey Goodman and I had a nice response to THE LAST LULLABY in Des Moines this past weekend (the film played through/including June 11 at the Fleur). The Q and A after the weekend screenings was excellent (Jeffrey said he'd been asked questions that no other audiences had thought to ask — i.e., did he have a completion bond?). We had a nice review locally in City View, too. And last week the film was featured at a Brooklyn film fest, marking the picture's first New York screening.

I have just written a Mike Hammer novel for audio that will be produced this summer in Chicago by producer Carl Amari and stars Stacy Keach himself as Hammer (with a full cast). This is the second of the "NEW ADVENTURES OF MICKEY SPILLANE'S MIKE HAMMER"from Blackstone Audio. It's called "The Little Death" and will be out in the fall of this year.

This marks several firsts, probably the least of which is me writing a script in radio format. More important is that this will be the first time Keach — who has appeared as Hammer on film more often than any other actor — will be featured in a Hammer story actually based on Spillane material. The sources are the short story "The Night I Died" by Mickey and an unproduced screenplay that I developed under Mickey's supervision. (Interestingly, "The Night I Died" was an unproduced 1950s radio script I found in Mickey's files years ago, which he allowed me to short-story-ize for our NAL anthology, PRIVATE EYES.)

In the Audie-nominated first installment of THE NEW ADVENTURES (not written by me), there were two episodes. When I was invited to write the second installment, I asked if we could do one story — a novel for audio. Keach and Amari loved the idea. This will be the new Hammer novel for 2009 (although THE GOLIATH BONE is due in trade paper soon from Harcourt). The next prose novel, THE BIG BANG, will be out in the spring of 2010, and is a "lost" novel from 1964 — truly vintage Spillane.

I'm thrilled about "The Little Death," as it was my opportunity to bring the Keach TV Hammer more in line with the novels. I promise you will never have seen (or anyway, heard) Keach's Hammer this tough.

In other news, Crusin' is performing this Sunday, June 14, in Muscatine, IA. The concert, from 6 pm to 7:30 at the Pearl City Plaza patio (adjacent Elle's Tea and Coffee), will cover the history of the band. In the event of rain, we will perform inside the Port City Underground restaurant. Food will be available.

The Last Lullaby showings: Des Moines (June 5 - 11), Brooklyn (June 7 - 8), San Jose (June 12 - 18)

THE LAST LULLABY — the film based on the Quarry short story "A Matter of Principal," and co-written by me — will be showing at the Fleur Cinema in Des Moines from June 5 till June 11. Director Jeffrey Goodman and I will be there for the two evening showings on Friday June 5, and probably on Saturday June 6, as well, doing intros before and Q and A after. This is our last scheduled appearance together in support of the film, and marks the final of the three Iowa bookings.

Jeffrey continues to roll it out slowly and carefully. The film will show at the 6/5-6/14 Brooklyn International Film Festival. Tickets are now on sale at this link. We screen Sunday, June 7th at 9PM and Monday, June 8th at 8PM. Jeffrey will be there for both of our screenings.

The film also plays 6/12-6/18 in San Jose, CA at the Camera Cinemas 3.

The film continues to rack up great reviews. Here's two of them:

Stark Silvercreek: "A movie that gives the movie industry hope." (Includes an interview with Jeffrey.)
Steve Rhodes: "New filmmakers should look at it as a paradigm on how movies should be made."

There's been some confusion about where the novel THE LAST QUARRY fits in. It was based on my draft of the screenplay and written prior to the shooting of the film, which reflects a draft by another writer plus a polish by me. Call it the Writer's Cut.

Quarry is continuing to make a remarkable comeback for a character who appeared in an obscure four-paperback series in the mid-'70s. I was always proud of this character, and he remains one of my two favorite characters (Nate Heller being the other).

THE FIRST QUARRY has been nominated for the Best Paperback Novel "Anthony," presented at the Bouchercon. It's voted on by con attendees, so go to the con and remember what Al Capone said: vote early and vote often.

Also, THE LAST QUARRY's magnificent Robert McGinnis cover has been chosen as one of the handful of images adorning a new group of Hard Case Crime t-shirts.

And later this year, look for a new Quarry novel, QUARRY IN THE MIDDLE.

Iowa Public Television (IPTV) will air the two-part mini-series, "Eliot Ness: An Untouchable Life," on Sunday, May 31, at 9:30 p.m. and 10:30 p.m.

My longtime filmmaking cohort Phil Dingeldein and I recently went to Des Moines to the HQ of Iowa Public Television, where we edited our feature ELIOT NESS: AN UNTOUCHABLE LIFE into a two-part mini-series. The episodes cover Chicago ("Capone's City") and Cleveland ("Butcher's Town") with only minor changes to the material as presented on the currently available DVD from VCI Home Entertainment.

What is really exciting, however, is that we were able to do HD masters. The feature (starring my frequent accomplice Michael Cornelison) was shot in Hi-Def, but our limited budget did not allow us to master it that way. Thanks to IPTV, we now have both the feature and the mini-series in HD format...and it looks wonderful.

Soon IPTV will be offering the new two-part version of NESS to PBS stations nationally. I'll have more details later, but when the time comes, I will encourage you to approach your local PBS stations and request airings of the mini-series version.

P.S. Don't know if anybody's out there noticing, but I am doing weekly updates now. Not quite a blog, but please check in once a week. News next time about THE LAST LULLABY.

G.I. JOE prequel ABOVE AND BEYOND in bookstores now!

Here is an advance look at the covers of the two GI JOE novels I have coming out this summer. GI JOE: ABOVE AND BEYOND is a prequel and GI JOE: THE RISE OF COBRA is the movie tie-in novel.

GI JOE: ABOVE AND BEYOND GI JOE: THE RISE OF COBRA

Matt Clemens helped plot and research the prequel, a process we have used on our CSI, BONES, DARK ANGEL and CRIMINAL MINDS novels. He and I are working together on a serial killer novel for Kensington that will be out next March. We wanted to take the approach to a forensics thriller that we've honed on CSI and CRIMINAL MINDS into something of our own.

This is the first time Matt will share byline on a cover with me (other than our short story collection, MY LOLITA COMPLEX — we've published co-bylined short stories for around ten years). Our title was KILLER TV, but it's been changed (with only minimal screaming and kicking by us) to YOU CAN'T STOP ME. Kensington is really tops at publishing this kind of novel (they've done well by my pal John Lutz, a great writer) and we will be doing at least two books for them.

THE LAST LULLABY will play at the Showcase Cinemas 53 in Davenport, Iowa, on Friday May 15 through May 21. For the first two evening showings on Friday, director Jeffrey Goodman and I will introduce the film and do Q and A after. Tickets are on sale online (Friday night showings: 7:00 / 9:30). The film's next Iowa booking is at the Fleur in Des Moines, where it will play June 5 through June 11 — again, Jeffrey and I will be there opening night.

The midwestern premiere of THE LAST LULLABY at the Collins Rd Theatres in Cedar Rapids went very well indeed — we had a very nearly full house for the 7 pm showing, when Jeffrey and I introed the film and followed up afterward with a Q and A.

The Last Lullaby Collins Road

Hard to believe, but this is the first face-to-face meeting between Jeffrey and myself, and years of long-distance collaborating first on the short film "A Matter of Principal" and then on the feature-length expansion, THE LAST LULLABY. He is a very friendly guy, low-key and very sharp.

A question that keeps coming up is whether the film is based on the novel THE LAST QUARRY. The answer is — sort of. The detailed answer is convoluted, so I usually just say, "Yes." The truth is, THE LAST QUARRY is a novel based on my first draft screenplay for Jeffrey, itself an expansion of my short story, "A Matter of Principal" and my screenplay from the short film derived from it. The title THE LAST LULLABY reflects the novel's title, obviously, and the novel and film are very similar, but not exactly so. That reflects me doing a second draft after getting notes from Jeffrey, another writer doing a draft for him when the film moved from California to Louisiana, and me doing a final polish. So it evolved away from the novel version.

The other question that comes up is, "Why is Quarry (Tom Sizemore) called Price in the film?" For the same reason Parker is "Walker" in POINT BLANK — to limit the film to a once only use of the character, not to license the entire series. Anyway, Quarry uses aliases all the time — "Quarry" is itself an alibi.

The Cedar Rapids screening was my first chance to see the film in a real theatrical setting — right down to popcorn with real butter, a point of pride for theater owner Bruce Taylor — and seeing THE LAST LULLABY in its full thirty-five millimeter (and of course nine millimeter) glory was a thrill. Quarry was born around 1971 at the Writers Workshop in Iowa City, where the first two chapters of what would become THE BROKER were discussed by a mostly horrified class. To see him come to life on screen so many years later, in a definitive portrayal by Tom Sizemore, is a real thrill for me.

Here are a few recent reviews/stories on the film:

The Gazette Online: "deliciously mixes old-fashioned film noir with newfangled violence."
Shreveport Times Online: "bold, brilliant and inventive"
KWQC-TV's Linda Cook: "A strong character study with a fascinating leading man"

MESSAGE FROM M.A.C. — May 4, 2009

Announcing the Midwest theatrical premiere of THE LAST LULLABY this Friday, May 8, at the Collins Road Theatre, Cedar Rapids, IA!

THE LAST LULLABY, director Jeffrey Goodman's version of my novel THE LAST QUARRY, has been doing very well on the film festival circuit over the last year or so. On the weekend of April 3 & 4, the film came to my home turf, where it won Best Professional Feature (The Gold Eddy Award) from the Cedar Rapids Independent Film Festival. I introduced the film, which was given the honor of the prime Saturday evening slot (8 pm). The audience at the Collins Road Theatre (no, neither the road nor the theater was named after me) seemed to love it.

This festival win has special resonance because the short Quarry film, "A Matter of Principal," that was expanded into THE LAST LULLABY (and THE LAST QUARRY, for that matter), had won Best Short Film at the same festival in 2003. In 2004, director Goodman, having done so well with the short, commissioned me to a feature-length version and started the ball rolling, or anyway got it rolling further. I did two drafts of the screenplay, another writer did another draft when the production moved to Louisiana and locations shifted, then I came in and provided extensive notes that amounted to a sort of last-minute polish. The film differs in some respects from THE LAST QUARRY, but I really like it. Tom Sizemore, baggage and all, is a wonderful Quarry (herein called "Price"), and there's a lovely modern noir atmosphere. We showed it at the last Bouchercon to nice response, and it's been an official selection of numerous festivals with some impressive wins.

There will be a limited theatrical release starting in May. It will primarily be showing in cities where the film has done well in fests, or where there's a tie to the film — meaning Louisiana (Jeffrey's home state and the site of the filming) and Iowa (my home state) will be on the list, with its Midwestern theatrical premiere at the Collins Road Theatre on Friday, May 8. Director Jeffrey Goodman will join me at the 7 and 9 PM screenings to present the film, and take questions and answers from the opening night audience. THE LAST LULLABY will also be showing in the Quad Cities the following week — stay tuned for more details.

The original Quarry short, written by me and directed by Jeffrey, is part of my anthology DVD, SHADES OF NOIR (essentially the bonus DVD on the boxed set of my indie stuff, THE BLACK BOX).

This is probably my record year for number of books published (and for me that's saying something, I know). But I'm really proud of what Barb and I have accomplished of late, and want to make sure you're aware of what's out there already, and what's coming.

In September from Kensington, "Barbara Allan" (Barb and me) will have the reprint of ANTIQUES MAUL (ISBN 978-0-7582-1194-1) out and the new "Trash 'n' Treasures" mystery, too: ANTIQUES FLEE MARKET (ISBN 978-0-7582-1195-8), with a Christmas theme. It's been getting the best reviews of the series yet. These are funny cozies with an edge, and fans of my tougher stuff may be surprised by how much they'll enjoy these...and we've just signed to do two more!

Very soon Harcourt will publish the first new Mike Hammer novel in over a decade — THE GOLIATH BONE (ISBN 978-0-15-101454-5), which I completed from Mickey Spillane's nearly finished manuscript. This is the first of at least three Hammers I will complete from manuscripts Mickey entrusted to me. To say this is an honor and a thrill is an extreme understatement. It's also getting great advance notices. Do not miss this one!

The success of THE LAST QUARRY (which has been made into the film THE LAST LULLABY, on the festival circuit now) has led to the new prequel, THE FIRST QUARRY (ISBN 0-8439-5965-7), which Hard Case will publish in paperback in the fall. This is also getting wonderful advance reviews. This one is definitely not cozy, and could be the nastiest noir novel I've ever written....

I'm pleased to report that in December VCI Home Entertainment is bringing out my documentary, CAVEMAN: V.T. HAMLIN & ALLEY OOP on DVD! It's a great package, with an extended Will Eisner interview and a panel discussion at a Des Moines Historical Museum screen of the film that features me, producer Mark Lambert and the current OOP writer and artist team, Jack and Carole Bender. CAVEMAN has been seen several times on Iowa PBS as part of the celebration of the OOP strip's 75th Anniversary. (This means all of my indie films will now be available on DVD.)

For the past several months, Barb and I have been out in the midwest, appearing at bookstores and libraries and other events, talking about various books (including those just mentioned) and other projects. Here's what we've been talking about:

STRIP FOR MURDER from Berkley Prime Crime — a snazzy trade paperback, a Rex Stout-style mystery that combines graphic novel elements (my longtime MS. TREE cohort Terry Beatty did the comic art), and is a lot of fun. The story is loosely based on the notorious Al Capp (Li'l Abner)/Ham Fisher (Joe Palooka) feud.

RED SKY IN MORNING (ISBN 978-0-06-089255-5) is by "Patrick Culhane" — the byline I began with the Wyatt Earp/Al Capone novel, BLACK HATS (in mass-market paperback now, ISBN 978-0-06-089254-8). This one is special to me, a book I've planned for decades based on my father's experiences in the Navy in WW 2 as a young officer in charge of black sailors handling explosives in the Pacific. It's my CAINE MUTINY, hinging on the infamous Port Chicago disaster, but there is a mystery. You may have this on the way — please don't miss RED SKY. EQMM's Jon Breen says it's one of my best.

In movie/TV world, my New York Times bestseller AMERICAN GANGSTER picked up the "Scribe" for Best Novel at San Diego Comic Con from the International Association of Media Tie-In Writers. Current tie-ins of mine included THE MUMMY: TOMB OF THE DRAGON EMPEROR (ISBN 978-0-425-22313-0) and X-FILES: I WANT TO BELIEVE (ISBN 978-0-06-168771-6), and the second CRIMINAL MINDS novel, KILLER PROFILE (ISBN 978-0-451-22382-1). The third CRIMINAL MINDS, FINISHING SCHOOL (ISBN 978-0-451-22547-4),is out in November from NAL (my fave of the 3).

X Files: I Want to Believe

In non-literary news, I'm thrilled to report that my '60s garage band, the Daybreakers, has been inducted into the Iowa Rock 'n' Roll Hall of Fame. Over the Labor Day weekend, we appeared with seven other inductee bands in concert at Arnold's Park on Lake Okoboji, to a packed house of over 1000 rock fans. What made this truly special was that the original line-up of the band — guitarist Mike Bridges, bassist Chuck Bunn, guitarist Dennis Maxwell and drummer Buddy Busch (and me) — were able to assemble from around the country and reunite both to be honored and to perform for the first time together since 1968. We did half an hour and, frankly, we killed — a magical set in which we took a major risk, doing mostly original material at an oldies show!

Of course, our major claim to fame nationally (make that our only claim to fame nationally) was our infamous single "Psychedelic Siren"/"Afterthoughts." "Siren" is one of the most anthologized garage-band songs of the '60s, currently available on a Sundazed CD called GARAGE BAND '66: Speak of the Devil. We managed to reproduce the siren sound on stage and the crowd went nuts. We also played live, for the first time, "I Need Somebody," an original written by our late great bandmate, Bruce Peters.

Daybreakers Hall of Fame Collection

A limited edition of 100 CDs called "THE DAYBREAKERS aka Crusin' — The Hall of Fame Collection" was pressed for the show. This is essentially the long-out-of-print "Thirty Year Plan," and is filled with Daybreakers/Crusin' recordings, studio, demo, live, from 1967's "Psychedelic Siren" to the '90s songs from the "Mommy" movies. We have about forty of these left.

For $15 postpaid (plus $7.50 for shipping outside the U.S.), you can get a copy of "The Hall of Fame Collection." For $25 (plus $7.50 for shipping outside the U.S.), you can get a copy signed by the entire band (there are only 15 of these).
