The 1950s' Most Wanted™: out-takes

Back when this book was first conceived, I sketched out a list of topics that I wanted  to tackle, with the intention of covering the decade in detail while simultaneously writing about subjects near and dear to me (rock and roll and films especially). But before I knew it, the contracted 70K word manuscript had ballooned to some 140K words. Sadly, some cuts needed to be made, but on the plus side, Potomac agreed to publish 100K words (thereby dwarfing some other titles in the series). In the long run,  success of this book may force the demand of a FWM part two, but in the short run, publishing's loss is your gain.

As a visitor to this site, your are offered these exclusive chapters, which I will rotate periodically. Enjoy!
