From Steve Albert , bro of Marv . In all transparency, Wayne Lynch  and I were students at the same college (1969-72, picture 1967). and we used to broadcast games together on the campus radio station .  He was a rapid-fire play-by-play announcer who opted for the news side of the business. Little did I know back then that he would someday add author to his impressive resume and I was totally unaware of his keen interest in vampires! You think you know somebody. Blood Stained Papers  is the first and I’m predicting not the last of his works in this genre. As a former crime reporter , TV news anchor  and news director , Wayne artfully combined his love of the newsroom with his passion for the supernatural.  And guess what? He is a darn good fictional writer. His dialogue style reminded me of my favorite old black and white film noirs  I often enjoy on Turner Classic Movies . Blood Stained Papers is right out of Philip Marlowe  and Sam Spade . Even if you’re not a fan of vampire...
