Crime in the Nation's Capital 

    


Here's a sampling of what I've been working on lately for my clients: 

  • A profile of a sports shoe R&D manager turned bowling entrepreneur in China. 
  • A feature story on the use of theming and story elements in the design of contemporary family entertainment centers.
  • A case history of the Progressive Insurance Automotive XPRIZE.  

Book 'Em  

 

Looking for an interesting book?  

 

Copy & Content reader Sheldon Altfeld recommends:  

 

You Can Take The Girl Out of Chicago...Tales of My Wayward Youth" (Dorothy Sinclair)   

 

"Often funny, sometimes poignant short stories recall the author's experiences as a rebellious young girl from Chicago. Growing up in the upper middle-class neighborhood of South Shore, she perpetually feels like a misfit, yearning to get out. 

 

These memoirs take her out of the Midwest and into the worlds of theatre and literature on the East Coast while the recurring theme of her supportive, witty, opinionated, progressive Aunt Flo runs throughout.  

 

Anyone with a sense of humor, who has ever longed to be in another place in another time, will appreciate Sinclair's wit and vivid descriptions of the world as she knew it during the mid-decades of the twentieth century." --Amazon.com 

 

 

This month I recommend:

 

D.C. Noir 2: The Classics (Akashic Books)

 

This second set of crime tales set in Washington, D.C. spans the 20th century and includes stories by several classic African-American writers including Paul Laurence Dunbar, Langston Hughes and Richard Wright.  

 

Edited by George Pelecanos, novelist and Emmy-nominated writer for the acclaimed HBO series "The Wire."

 

One of a series of award-winning anthologies of noir fiction, each set in a different city.
