The last time I wrote something for the newsletter I warned you that I’d be in radio silence for a while. Well, to be honest, that is still true but there are a couple of reasons that I’ve broken cover. The first reason is that I am aware that some folk have been kind enough …
Hi I recently mentioned that I was thinking of taking the Alex Cohen series out of Kobo, Apple and B&N. Well that is exactly what I will do from February 1, 2022 so that gives you a week or two to grab any copies you may want from those stores before I take Alex exclusively …
I mentioned my threat last week, but now is finally the time for me to ask you to spend a few minutes of your time to complete my annual reader survey. Just go to the survey and be honest. There are only a handful of questions and your answers will shape what I do in …
I appreciate this happened quite a while ago, but I was reminded of the excellent David Simons TV series, The Deuce this week. Why? The show follows a group of New York men and women in the throes of creating the modern porn film industry. This ties in with Alex Cohen’s business activity in The …
I thought I’d try something a little bit different and offer something unique on my website. For any book in the Alex Cohen series, if you buy a paperback or hardback direct from me then for a small extra fee, I will write an inscription or message to you in the book. And if you …

The end is in sight. I know I’ve talked about the fact that I have started work on The Mensch but I am still a few days away from getting book 6, Hollywood Bilker ready for publication. As soon as it is done, and I am hoping that will be by the end of the …
I am pleased to report that I have finished the first draft of Hollywood Bilker: ‘just’ the editing left to do. This means that I can put the death of Bobby Kennedy behind me now. I have been writing about the assassination of both Kennedy sons this summer and I’ve been investigating their respective records …
There are many stories about Californian water. The movie which captured that experience best, to my mind, was Chinatown where the dark side of the west coast was revealed in all its stark glory. I know that Roman Polanski‘s life has been problematic, but that does not change my response to the film. I’ve got to …
As I know I’ve mentioned in the past, I am working on book 6 of the Alex Cohen series, Hollywood Bilker which takes place in the 1960s. The lead character–I never call him my hero–is involved in Dallas, Texas in 1963. Without giving away too much of the plot, let’s just say he’s been sent …
