Sunset On The Water Ought

I Got Overwhelmed By The Magnitude Of The Celebrity Culture In America. My Background Is As A News Journalist, And Newsrooms In The Us Are Shrinking - Investigation Teams Are Being Terminated Or Shrunk On Newspapers All Around The Country. The One Aspect That's Expanded Is Coverage Of Celebrity Culture.

Like Richard Price And The Late, Great Elmore Leonard, Matt Burgess Is One Of Those Cool, Quick And Funny Writers Who Can Turn A Seemingly Routine Crime Caper Into Something Special.

Y'see, I Get So Bored So Easily. I Like To Start With A Clean Slate Each Time. Sure, I'll Have Characters Drop In And Out Of Books But The Main Cast Of Characters Always Changes. Maybe I'm Wrong But I Think If Had The Same Joe Detective Guy Or Gal, I Wouldn't Write Them As Well; I Wouldn't Do As Good A Job.

All Novels Are About Crime. You'd Be Hard Pressed To Find Any Novel That Does Not Have An Element Of Crime. I Don't See Myself As A Crime Novelist, But There Are Crimes In My Books. That's The Nature Of Storytelling, If You Want To Reflect The Real World.

And In The Meantime Don't Jump To Conclusions.
