He has interviewed half a dozen little people, asking them in all seriousness if they owned Uncle Sam costumes. He has parlayed talking of roses over a few drinks into handling PR for three of the nation's largest airports. He has consorted with shady ladies and murdering men (solely for research purposes) and somehow has managed to produce mystery novels, nonfiction classics, television scripts, and even a book on caviar. Bain has been there and written that, and this part-autobiography part-survival guide for successful professional writers is both upbeat and practical, quite a feat when one considers his contacts include a drug test subject for a leading US intelligence agency, various barflies, and Veronica Lake. Nevertheless, Bain shows by example how to be kind in cultivating the ones you want, be even kinder in letting down the ones you do not want, and keeping kind but completely honest field notes.
