Married, very old, two married daughters and grandchildren but think I am still 32. Could have played for Manchester United but for one small reason - I wasn't good enough. Like reading Bernard Cornwell, Elmore Leonard, John Maddox Roberts and quality writers of historical fiction and thrillers.
THE DARK APOSTLE was about the assassination of Martin Luther King. A reader in Hollywood sent a letter (this was before email) saying how much he'd enjoyed it and that he had sent a copy to James Earl Ray, who was serving life for the crime. I wrote back by return, eager to discover what Ray thought of my alternative theory about the assassination. "What did James Earl Ray say?" I asked. Back came the reply: "James Earl Ray said thank you." Very polite chap, obviously.
