<br><span>For
 anyone wishing to travel with a raconteur, a true renaissance man, this
 volume is your ticket for the journey. Murder mysteries, comedies, 
investigative journalism, westerns, biographies, Mafia novels: Donald 
Bain has written them all in a remarkable career spanning more than 80 
titles as author or ghostwriter. In this book, which is both an 
autobiography and a key to becoming a selling writer, Bain races the 
reader along on the road he has traveled-from the sands of Saudi Arabia 
to the quicksand of Hollywood moviemaking; from Coffee, Tea or Me?, and 
the best-selling comedy series it spawned, to acclaimed biographies of 
actress Veronica Lake, and top model and CIA mind control 
experimentation subject Candy Jones; from the wildly successful mystery 
novels based on the popular TV show "Murder, She Wrote," to the most 
bizarre gang wars in our nation's history during Prohibition madness; as
 well as books on caviar, airline safety and stock car racing. Bain 
leads the reader into the publishing trenches, and introduces the 
fascinating, often strange people with whom he's dealt, relates 
experiences, funny and sad, from his long career, and celebrates having 
survived in a profession not noted for longevity. It will be an 
entertaining and informative addition to any creative writing syllabus.</span>
