For David Parker and Daniel Parker, with the respect and admiration of their father, who grew up with them.
From Robert B. Parker
It was not just that Ross Macdonald taught us how to write; he did something much more, he taught us how to read, and how to think about life, and maybe, in some small, but mattering way, how to live.
With so much at stake maybe I'll just leave now.
Would you care to publish this? Sincerely, Robert B. Parker.
I didn't have to say it. I just had to write it. It was painful enough.
She found me intolerable. But she got to know me, and I wore her down.
Joan organizes our social life, and on weekends I follow her around.
Teaching is too strong a word for whatever it was I did at Northeastern University.
This is not a screenplay. I don't do twenty drafts. I'm not going to show this to you until it's published or accepted for publication. You can make whatever suggestions you want, but I probably will ignore them entirely.
Sure, I have advice for people starting to write. Don't. I don't need the competition.
