"Hemingway hated me. I sold 200 million books, and he didn’t. Of course most of mine sold for 25 cents, but still… you look at all this stuff with a grain of salt."
~ Mickey Spillane, born today, 1918.

I've been doing some reminiscing this morning. Remembering how I met #MickeySpillane in a branch of #Hooters in Church Street Station, Orlando, FL. Sadly, neither is with us any longer. #personalblog #AlanMorris #celebrity

A quotation from Mickey Spillane
The critics panned Spillane, but he didn’t care. He said, “Those big-shot writers could never dig the fact that there are more salted peanuts consumed than caviar.” He said he never had a character who drank cognac or had a mustache, because he didn’t know how to spell those words. He said, “I have no fans. You know what I got? Customers. And customers are your friends.”
Mickey Spillane (1918-2006) American crime novelist [Frank Morrison Spillane]
In Garrison Keillor, post (2012-03-09), Writers Almanac, American Public MediaMore info about this quote: wist.info/spillane-mickey/7982…

Had it not been for the Production Code I, the Jury (1953) would have been the best-ever Mickey Spillane film adaptation. It's still pretty good - Peggie Castle sizzles, John Alton’s cinematography is superb. See it.

Mickey Spillane was definitely in the groove when he wrote the fifth Mike Hammer book The Big Kill in 1951. As so often it’s Hammer’s sensitive side that drives him on - it drives him even when he’s blowing away hoodlums with his .45.

Bloody Sunrise from 1965, second of Mickey Spillane’s Tiger Mann spy novels. Tiger works for a private spy agency. He doesn't have to play by the rules. This tale involves a defector and a woman who isn't who she appears to be. Good stuff.

Mickey Spillane’s 1964 novel The Snake is a sequel to The Girl Hunters and you absolutely must read The Girl Hunters first. This is a very different Mike Hammer - older, wiser and sadder. Both books are great, but read the earlier books first.

Mickey Spillane’s 1967 spy thriller The Delta Factor. A thief is forced to do a job for the government, breaking a scientist out of an impregnable 17th century fortress. He also wants revenge. Fun, and more lighthearted than his Hammer books.
