This tale of Dick Wormser's career reveals the trials and wonders
of the world of pulp fiction in the thirties, as well as the
travails and triumphs of Hollywood writers in the forties and
fifties. He wrote short stories for The Shadow and other action
magazines, and was named by Street & Smith to revive Nick
Carter, for which he wrote a 60,000-word novel every two weeks
until they had enough backlog to make it a semi-monthly. Hired and
fired twice by Harry Cohn at Columbia Pictures, he toiled at
Republic and Universal writing screenplays, that became mostly B
movies-some good some bad. He was one of Ray Stark's earliest
clients, before Ray made the transition to one of the industry's
premier producers. During World War II, he served as Forest Ranger,
patrolling the coast of Southern California on horseback. Dick made
his living writing-producing an amazing output: three hundred short
stories, two hundred novelettes, a dozen books, about twice that
many serials. His oeuvre included mysteries, Westerns, juveniles,
histories and even a cookbook Southwest American Cooking, or Home
on the Range.
