Literary Titan Interview

Yesterday, Literary Titan published a new interview with me titled “Gritty Environments,” which delves into the background of my novel, Hessman’s Necklace. In this Q&A, I discuss the early versions of the story, including a pivotal graphic scene of violence that required significant rethinking. Additionally, I explore themes of homage and originality, as well as the influence of writers like Dashiell Hammett, John D. MacDonald, and F. Scott Fitzgerald in shaping dialogue, characters, and literary style.

Review of Hessman’s Necklace in Literary Titan

In its 5-star review of the novel When The Actor Inspired Chaos and Bloodshed, Literary Titan, a prominent U.S.-based literary publication, writes: “Litchfield knows how to throw you into a scene. The opening prologue, where a film shoot goes violently sideways, hits hard. Bullets flying, blood spraying, a screaming film exec belly-flopping for cover. It reads like some grainy ’90s action flick at 2 a.m. on cable. That’s the vibe throughout the novel: high tension, slapstick disaster, and sharp edges everywhere. Dominic, caught in the madness, isn’t exactly likable, but he is interesting. He’s the kind of mess you want to keep watching, even when he’s making every wrong choice.”
