Sorry, I just saw your post, so here are some answers: Yes, I'm a writer, a mostly unknown novelist. I recently put up all of them on Amazon, have done no marketing to date, and did second editions of two that were previously published. I would not renew my contracts with that publisher because I came to dislike their marketing methods which seemed aimed at selling their own books to the authors.
I'm on my eighth novel (eleven in reality but my son and I adapted one unpublished manuscript into a trilogy of film scripts), and it's the one set in Boston in the 50s.
No, I never lived in Boston; however, I did live in NH for 8 years, had friends from Boston and environs. Lived 1 year in Weirs Beach/Gilford and 7 in Lancaster, when I traded the tourist trap for the mountains. Lots of trips to Boston, and through Boston as I often traveled from the Great Lakes to NH and back.
Are you willing to have your brain picked a little? I've wondered how many inner-city neighborhoods had residences, you know little (or big) Italian homes with the traditional backyard gardens. I've placed my families all within a four-mile radius in the North End. Is this reasonably possible? Thanks x 10
