Read how my life was like a Johnny Depp movie.
The Rum Diary. My life as a writer can be described best as a mix of two stories; the first is the Rum Diary , the story of a group of writers waiting in in 1960's Puerto Rico f or a breaking story to set them up with a contract in the USA . The book is far more entertaining than the film with Johnny Depp and Amber Heard . The second part is the tv series Kolchak featuring Darren McGavin about a writer who wrote stories about the supernatural, he never got any printed as he had to destroy his evidence to escape. My early rep as a writer came as a writer of ghost stories ; my stories were entertaining because I believe in the supernatural .
