About John D. MacDonald
When he arrived home he decided to try his hand as a story writer, this was the day of pulp magazines with hundreds of stories published each month. After many rejections his first story sold followed by many others.
By the beginning of the 1950's dime novels became a trend and he tried his hand at telling longer stories. Between his first in 1950, "The Brass Cupcake" and 1964 when he published the first Travis McGee story "The Deep Blue Goodbye" he published 42 novels, most of them crime thrillers and paperback originals.
He was also the author of four non-fiction titles, "The House Guest", a book about his pet cats, "No Deadly Drug" about the murder trial of Dr. Carl Coppolino, "Nothing Can Go Wrong" with Captain John H. Kilpack about a cruise he took in 1977 and a collection of letters between him and Dan Rowan, of Rowan and Martin's Laugh-In.
