KISSYMAN is a story I was inspired to write after reading “Devil in a Blue Dress” by Walter Mosley. This is not the hard-science horror stuff that is my bread and butter, but rather a hard-boiled detective style take on an illegal immigrant from another era in America’s history. No science (unless you count psychology), but it does, indeed, get us back on the “lots and lots of violence” tip.

I for one love Walter Mosley, but just thought you should also know that he does some sci-fi too. He wrote a book called Futureland, a semi-apocalyptic collection of near-future short stories. I liked his hard-boiled detective stuff, so it surprised me as well when I found a Walter Mosley book in the sci-fi section of Atlantic. It’s been a few years since I read it, but I recall it being pretty good.
