I've always loved Noir film and books. I've always loved mysteries. I believe Raymond Chandler is a great American writer. I had to wind up writing mysteries. It was always in the cards. In April of 2013, Sam Russo, Private Eye, arrived in not one, but three books of noir hard-boiled mystery. "Shadow Roll," "Good Dog, Bad Dog," and "The Girl in the Next Room," are all available now. |

I write. It's what I do. It's who I am.
|
I've written all my life. At four, I produced my first book. Five pages—written, illustrated, and sewn together by me—I called it THE RED PONY. At four, I had no idea Steinbeck got there first. Then came a long long loooong break during which I did anything and everything but write. Looking back, I now see that break as the life I needed to live in order to be the writer I hoped I could be. I'm not that writer. But there's still time and I still keep trying. I used to live in Marin County, California. I used to live in Hawaii. I used to live in New York City. I used to live in Europe. I used to live in Vermont. Now I travel about and while I travel I write. Following on after creating my own Mary Magdalene in The Secret Magdalene, I wrote Flow Down Like Silver, a novel about the numinous and gifted Hypatia of Alexandria, a tragically ignored woman of towering intellect who searched through intellect for what the Magdalene knew in her heart.
A few months after Hypatia flowed out into the world, I realized that the ancient Goddess and I were not done with each other, that I'd merely presented part of Her story by speaking of two women who, in the flesh, represented Her profound role in the world. The Woman Who Knew the All, my third and last book on the Divine Feminine, takes us back to the life of Mariamne, called the Magdalene. Wandering the world after the death of Jesus, she, her great friend Seth, and Mary the Mother of Jesus share the wisdom of their beloved teacher. Mariamne confronts ignorance and superstition as she herself slowly awakens to the ALL. At the same time, I took a huge left turn—you might even call it a "bend sinister"—into the murky half light of fantasy and horror. The strange tale of Houdini Heart had been sneaking about in my psyche for years. It, too, wanted out.
And then along came SAM RUSSO, PRIVATE EYE. See above!
