Well our ski trip (and a really foggy morning) set me up for a non-Magnum story. But as I thought about that idea, I wondered about my character, Nick Christopher, the wounded Afghan war vet premiering in my short story All These Years. What scars does he carry (physical and mental), why is he on O'...

"The Bridge on the River Kwai" is on TCM tonight and I read that one of the US Navy vessels heading to Haiti is the USS Higgins.

Well I wrapped up this adventure and I feel good about it (both the story and the writing experience). Now I find myself wondering, what happens next to Thomas Magnum?

We will be on a ski trip this weekend, maybe I'll come up with a good opening while siting on the ski lift!

Do you need to teach yourself to write a screenplay to put the story on paper?

You could write it out as a short story, if that would save time and be easier.

Rob

That is a really intersesting idea! Can you put some more flesh onto the bones?

Rob

ConchRepublican - I am glad that you enjoyed it! First real mystery I have written.

Here is the hyper-link to the complete story, slightly tweaked from that posted here.

"All These Years" is the title

I intend to post this story all together on Fanfiction.net when I am past the probationary period on that website. It was fun to write. Knowing that some people were waiting for the next episode kept me on task from mid-November to the end of December. Since I felt I knew the characters so well, it ...

I was a little disappointed in this episode. It had no Magnum p.i. "charm." And Vic Morrow could only play one character, no matter what he was in... The kid on the beach (credited as Joey Coleman) scene was definitley a throw-away - no kick.

Happy New Year folks! May 2010 be a lot better than 2009 was.

Today is my birthday --- so this is a reverse birthday gift to all my fellow die-hard Magnum p.i. fans! -Rob - - - It’s a funny thing about hotels. People come and go all the time and many are invisible. Who pays any attention to the housekeepers, the cooks, the clerks or the bellmen, or even to the...

I looked at Higgins and his mouth was hanging open just as much as mine was. Now it made sense, at least to me. Higgins snapped out words like a bulldog. “Mr. Masters? How can that be?” Nick said “He called me last week at the estate, Mr. Higgins. You were taking a stroll on the grounds when he call...

This is a great episode, and seeing Kenneth Mars as the caretaker was a stitch. He has played many characters on film, including the police chief in "Young Frankenstein" and the off-the-wall playwright in "The Producers" just to mention a couple.

I eased the rental into the garage as a large truck was starting to haul out the trash containers. I jumped out as Higgins was struggling with his seatbelt. Dashing to the last two filled containers, I saw what I was looking for. There were about a dozen five-gallon plastic paint buckets inside. Thi...

I pulled into Robin’s estate admiring the spruced up looks of the grounds and house. The flower beds were well trimmed and the house looked perfect. Ready for Robin’s arrival, when I could find him. Higgins was in the studio, scribbling away again. “Any progress, Magnum?” he growled as I came in. “N...
