Personal Quote:

I'm a writer, not an author. A writer makes money. See more »

Trivia:

Named the main character in his last crime novel, "Dead Street" (2007), after his close friend Jack Stang. The two had been friends since the 1940s, and appeared in the film Ring of Fear together. Spillane had even hoped that Stang would play Mike Hammer in a film, and financed a screen test for Stang in the 1950s. See more »
