First review of my new book on Amazon




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 stories, you’ll get sucked (sorry, I couldn’t resist) in by Wayne’s way with words. 

Get this book and fang me later!

    So, Wayne, is your next book title going to be "Kick Save and a Beauty"? LOL (this was Marv's signature catchphrase).

    Nah I am a basketball guy. So the phrase was: 'Yesss, it counts, he was fouled!'

      So did you really have eyes in the back of your head when you threw things down with authority? LOL

Rebecca Stevenson has left KOMO

 "I am no longer at Komo 4." Thanks.  Longtime Weather Anchor Rebecca Stevenson confirms that she left the station just before Christmas.  Her last Facebook posts are 12/17.  She has the Seattle station Quintafecta, having worked at the old NWCN, KING, KIRO, KCPQ and KOMO.  Looks like her decision.  Wants a new chapter.   She was doing mainly weekend evenings for KOMO.  Perhaps Stella Sun will move there.   She has been sharing weekend mornings with Theron Zahn.

Where is Frankie?

Many have missed KIRO 7's weekend PM weather anchor, Frankie Katafias, so I reached out to some of my sources to find an answer.    She is apparently taking a few months of leave, but not known specifically what the reason may be.  Although there is uncertainty, it could be a personal or family matter.   I am told she is expected back at some point in the new year.  She is a great asset to what has become a troubled station.  Meanwhile former KOIN Portland chief met holds down the fort.

A Farewell to this Fox 13 Seattle host

Carly Henderson - co-host of Studio 13: Live - was laid off in the recent KCPQ expansion which we broke.  She posts her goodbye on FB.  She never really clicked on the pay for play lifestyle mid-morning show.   It will be cut to a half hour for awhile and moved to 10 a.m, according to reports, before moving back to 11 on Aug. 4.  And I am told it will remain 30 minutes, not be re-expanded to an hour.   Thank goodness. https://www.facebook.com/share/p/16HFRSYM8x
