Hello friends and
neighbors. Welcome to my website wherein you will find bits and pieces about my doings and reflections on the craft and business of mystery and crime writing, smoking cigars, current events, and oh yes, donuts. You've no doubt noted the rather large plaster donut that sits atop Randy's Donuts (click here to read more about the establishment) a structure that's in keeping with the American tradition of having buildings as giant tamales, hot dogs, night owls for all-night diners, and so on. What urbanist Sam Hall Kaplan has labeled programmatic architecture, the building looks like what they sell or do. In my case this is also symbolic for like Homer Simpson, I love me some donuts, and so that's why my private eye character, Ivan Monk owns a donut shop. And like the barber shop, the beauty shop or the table in the park where people gather to play chess or dominoes, the donut shop is also about community, and that's one of the themes underlying the Monk books. But I enjoy telling stories in various mediums about various sorts of characters, and I try to show that on this site. You'll also find out about upcoming projects, and if I get around to it, a few ramblings on whatever the hell's on my mind now and then. So please take a few minutes to click on one of the interviews below or simply browse through the site and give me your feedback. Thanks for coming. Cocaine Chronicles is published in Serbia, and a Serbian journalist named Nedim Sejdinovic interviewed me for the weekly supplement of the daily Danas from Belgrade. Here's the English version of the article, and for those of you who read Serbian, here's the link to the Serbian language version. Check out this article about the
