Welcome to my blog








Welcome to my blog.

Although still working for a living I have plenty of spare time and energy. What do to with it I pondered for a while? It's too hot to work out here in Thailand where I now live, and I don't like alcohol enough to become an expert drinker (although I admit to trying occasionally).

Become a writer I mused. Why not? Sounds easy enough, but where to start? All the good advice says to write about something you're passionate about. OK here goes - I love movies, reading, travel, music, the internet, TV, blah, blah, etc. etc.

What about gangsters and bad guys I hear you ask? Yep, love them, so I'll write about those and see
if anybody likes my stories.

I hope you do :-)

Here's Volume 4 of True Crime Stories.

This one features:



Dillinger  - Mad Dog of the Mid West
Infamous bank robber, gangster and latter day Robin Hood, John Dillinger and his gang robbed two dozen banks and several police stations and it’s estimated he and his associates were responsible for the deaths of up to 13 lawmen.   Dubbed ‘Public Enemy No 1’ during the Great Depression, he was wounded at least once, escaped from prison on two occasions and J Edgar Hoover used his notoriety at as platform to help develop the FBI into a more potent weapon against organized crime.

Capone’s Trigger Men
To John Scalisi and his shadow Albert Anselmi, murder was a business and with a partner like Al Capone providing  them with plenty of ‘contracts’ the blood thirsty duo were soon known in gangland as ‘Capone’s Trigger Men’.  But working for one of the most infamous gangsters in history could only end one way.

Charlie Birger - A Short and Bloody Life
The vicious feud between Charles Birger and the Shelton brothers made bloody history in the annals of mass murder.  Prominent participants in the St Valentine’s Day massacre, the gun blazing sadism of these two mobs has gone down in criminal history as one of the most savage periods of lawlessness ever known in America.

The Unknowns
Experts in murder and specialists in robbery, they carved a trail of heinous deeds and marked it with their dead. The trans-city armored car job and the Lido Club robbery were just two milestones on their violent paths of crime – yet no one knew them..!
