Some time ago I purchased the Kindle edition of the Robert E. Howard Omnibus. Howard was one of the most prolific pulp writers of the 30s, best known for creating Conan the Barbarian. He wrote in several genres, including the Steve Costigan boxing stories.

I liked the style of these stories because I'm a boxing fan (old school, that is, from Jack Johnson to Muhammad Ali) so one day I found myself tapping out a first person narrated boxing story. I called my character Irish Jimmy Gallagher and set the story in 1955 Los Angeles. Pretty soon I had about 6000 words in a voice I really liked.

The series will continue!
