Why a book about a private investigator in Atlanta?

Well, I am one…in Atlanta no less – and research is the key to making a story ring true. The more you know about something, the easier it is to write from it. I’ve always noticed people’s fascination with my job and my intent is to craft a story around the day to day of it. John Grisham’s been doing it for years!

I also enjoy how versatile the private investigators archetype can be. One of my favorite movies is the Zero Effect with Bill Pullman. I really enjoyed their portrayal of such a classic character model as the private eye. My intent with Hitt is to make the PI model very day-to-day, grounded, and unadorned. The movie, “Gone Baby Gone” pulled that off pretty well. So here we go – let’s get started.

Below is some art that will reflect what I believe the interior art will look like. I’m a fan of monochromatic color schemes. Not only that, I want to be able to create this fast. Not inattentively fast, but assembly-line fast.
