What if the character in
The Maltese Falcon were based on real people that Dashiell Hammett had met and dealt with while he worked as a private investigator? What if the black bird really did have some kind of mystical power? What if giving up the bird is what caused Hammett's decades-long writer's block?
That's the premise behind Hammett Unwritten, a noir mystery that will keep you riveted from the first page until the "Afterward" by McAlpine.

Thanks Anne for your great questions and fun conversation yesterday regarding Hammett Unwritten. Warmest, Gordon McAlpine
ReplyDeleteIt was my pleasure!! It's always fun to talk to an author when I love book :) But I forgot to do my 40s actress impersonation. By the way, it's not a femme fatal; it's one o' those hard core dames. ... Maybe when we talk about the Edgar and Allan Poe books.
