Raise a Glass

Raise a glass and remember my favorite living writer, Mickey Spillane. I'm sure you have all heard of Mickey Spillane and his creation, Mike Hammer. It wasn't until I actually read one of his novels that I realized what a truly great writer he was. If you want to give it a try, I would suggest a little gem called One Lonely Night. It is a great story about a private eye, commies, and a couple of dames. Great stuff for a summer night.
