A noir view of the world. Paul D. Marks. Writer. Author of the Award-Winning Noir-Thriller “White Heat,” available on Amazon. Author of over 30 published short stories. From PUBLISHERS WEEKLY — Paul D. Marks’ novel WHITE HEAT is a “…taut crime yarn set in 1992 against the turmoil of the Los Angeles riots that followed the acquittal of the police officers charged with assaulting motorist Rodney King…. the author ably evokes the chaos that erupted after the Rodney King verdict.” “‘White Heat’ is a riveting read of mystery, much recommended.” –Midwest Book Review Rosa St. Claire of Examiner.com chooses White Heat as one of the Best Books of 2012: http://www.examiner.com/review/best-fiction-books-of-2012-and-new-titles-for-2013 I am the last person to have shot on the fabled MGM backlot before it bit the dust to make way for housing. According to Steven Bingen, one of the authors of the recent and well-received book MGM: HOLLYWOOD’S GREATEST BACKLOT: “That 40 page chronological list I mentioned of films shot at the studio ends with his [Paul D. Marks’] name on it.” http://dearoldhollywood.blogspot.com/2012/07/q-with-author-paul-d-marks.html www.PaulDMarks.comTumblr (3.0; @pauldmarks)http://pauldmarks.tumblr.com/<img
