Born on this day – James Horner:

Composer

August 14, 1953 – June 22, 2015

The list of movies scored by James Horner is long, but my favorites are Titanic, Avatar, Aliens, A Beautiful Mind, Apollo 13, Southpaw, and my all-time favorite, Field of Dreams.

The son of an Austria-Hungarian immigrant, as was my father, James died far too young.  Our hearts will go on, as his work will forever stand in testament to his talent.

Description:
 

The very best in hardboiled fiction, from such masters as Ross Macdonald, Raymond Chandler, Marcia Muller, Michael Collins, Ed McBain, William Campbell Gault and many more.

With its roots in the American private detective fiction of the 1920s but traceable back as far as Sherlock Holmes, the private eye story remains as popular as ever. 

Here are 24 of the finest short novels and stories from the hardboiled world of the private eye. The characters in this collection range from the tough, cynical, hard-drinking Philip Marlowe type to hard-hitting female private eyes and the one-armed intellectual Dan Fortune – from masters of the genre past and present.

Ray Bradbury, on writing:

 

Find out what your hero or heroine wants,

and when he or she wakes up in the morning,
just follow him or her all day.
- Ray Bradbury.
