Mystery, Murder, and Martinis with Paul L. McMurray: February 2011

About this blog...

FUNERAL PARTY takes Zak O'Neill from the SW side of Chicago to a private Club in hidden Wisconsin and then back to gangs, guns, and the Chicago Outfit (the Mob). While writing FP, I had to do some research in Chicago--I'd been gone a long time (except for some wife-induced Cultural Tours, which were nice but hardly gritty) and for some of the trips, I needed Mike Da' Cop or John the Marine for protection, and that ain't right. So this blog is about former neighborhoods and old memories and how you can't go home again in some places, even for the best food in the world (at least while/after you're drinking). For now, this is going to be about my Zak and Freddy books. But feel free to jump in with stuff about about Chicago vs. Wisconsin, and gangs, guns, and crime, and some somehow-related cool music and books and movies. And, of course, food and the perfect drink.
So relax, read, and have a martini, pal. You deserve it.

Mystery, Murder, & a Martini--Paul L. McMurray

Hello Everyone! Just working on a book and wanted to get my name and site saved. At the rate I'm going, check back in 3 months, OK? In the meantime, I have a YA and a middle-grade book out under aka "Scoop Jackson" on Smashwords and Amazon. But...WARNING! DANGER! "Funeral Party" will be coming soon and it is full of exactly what the title of this blog is...so there!
