Hollywood Screenwriter Makes Good…Then Bad

Hollywood screenwriter becomes pschyotherapist and then turns to writing dark mysteries.

Los Angeles, CA, March 16, 2008 --(PR.com)-- Hollywood screenwriter Dennis Palumbo (My Favorite Year) threw in the pen to become a psychotherapist to the very same writers, directors and producers he had worked with in the industry. Now, he has picked that pen up again — this time writing dark, yet humorous, short mysteries. In From Crime to Crime – Mind-boggling Tales of Mystery and Murder (Tallfellow Press, Hardcover, $24.95, April), Palumbo offers readers a chance to solve each mystery by giving them all the clues necessary.

From Crime to Crime introduces The Smart Guys Marching Society, a group of (real-life) “desperate husbands” who meet on Sundays to discuss politics, compare lives and eat deli. What they invariably wind up doing is solving crimes.

The book also features several stand-alone stories with such amateur sleuths as a brilliant female psychologist whose session with a patient threatens to turn deadly and a penniless patent clerk named Albert Einstein, who gets caught up in the search for a turn-of-the-century serial killer.

About the author:
Formerly a Hollywood screenwriter (My Favorite Year; Welcome Back, Kotter, etc.), Dennis Palumbo is now a psychotherapist in private practice, as well as an author. His mystery stories have appeared in Ellery Queen's Mystery Magazine, The Strand Magazine and Written By, among others. His novel, City Wars, a futuristic thriller, is currently in development as a motion picture.
