Overview

In Murder HE Wrote, Bain takes the reader on a rollercoaster journey from the rousing loops of Coffee, Tea or Me and the best selling comedy series it spawned to the gravity-defying biographies of Veronica Lake, legendary talk show king Long John Nebel, and top model and CIA mind-control subject Candy Jones; from the spectacular curves and twists of the wildly successful murder mystery novels based on the TV show "Murder, She Wrote" to the creaks and squeaks of one of the most bizarre gang wars in U.S. history, Charlie and the Shawneetown Dame.

Synopsis

Murder HE Wrote is the autobiography of a successful writer who has written more than 90 books. Hopefully, Murder HE Wrote (the title refers to the series of more than 20 best-selling murder mystery novels he's written based upon the popular TV show, "Murder, She Wrote") will inspire, and prove useful to those aspiring to a successful writing career, a profession not known for its high success rates. But more than explaining his writing techniques, he stresses the attitudes necessary for success as a writer-or in any endeavor, for that matter.
