Hey Dude, my discovery of your site just blew me away! Really, really cool, and well put together site. I'll return often and look forward to any updates. Any chance of more Mike Hammer TV info, summaries, etc.? Thanks for keeping Mike alive. Andrew Aziz <andrewaziz@hotmail.com> Toronto, ON Canada - Saturday, June 10, 2000 at 05:38:57 (EDT) this is a great thing you did because someone did what should have done long ago... Keep up the great work Allen Spencer <MrWhite_13@hotmail.com> Ventura, Ca USA - Wednesday, June 07, 2000 at 23:00:18 (EDT) Mickey Spillane is to me the most consummate writer of crime. His style is simple and down to earth. His hero Mike Hammer is unpretentious and real unlike all the rubbish you find in the MI series and other commercially churned out crime series. His timing was perfect and his books came out at a time when the world is not so cluttered and messy with all the IT rubbish that has turned the world into a sterile inhumane piece of shit. James Mok Singapore, Singapore - Tuesday, June 06, 2000 at 11:46:50 (EDT) Yes my name really is Velda, I have the birth certificate to prove it. Mickey, I hope you get to see this message. I wrote you a snail mail letter several years ago and got a letter and autographed pic from you. I still have them. As you can tell, I have since married. But I will always love Mike Hammer. Any chance of you making a personal appearance in el paso any time soon? Velda J Ziegler-Acevedo <JAcev68679@aol.com> el paso, tx USA - Saturday, May 20, 2000 at 20:38:46 (EDT) It's a funny feeling, and I've had a few. I too feel compelled to buy Mike Hammer books from second hand peddlers - although I own all the damn things already. Every new cover gets me excited and every old one has me transfixed. Who ever it is who was e-mailed by Mickey Spillane must still be wearing the goosebumps a mile high. This site has put a whole new slant on a rough day, I'll drop by again. Ruth Cox <roothcox@yahoo.com> Bristol, North Somerset United Kingdom - Thursday, May 18, 2000 at 10:43:50 (EDT) Great site! I teach adult literacy to some diehard Spillane fans and we've been making much use of your site. Keep up the good work. Michael D <solarski5@hotmail.com> Toronto, ON Canada - Wednesday, May 17, 2000 at 17:38:16 (EDT) It was such a relief to find your site! I, too, run a Mickey Spillane/Mike Hammer Web site, and I'm shocked to see there are so few of us out in Cyberspace... Perhaps we should band together and start a Web ring. Mary Notsle <hammerlover45@hotmail.com> Odessa, TX USA - Sunday, May 14, 2000 at 23:53:39 (EDT) **Announcement** - Hi everyone. First off, my ISP's mail server has been down for the last several days and they are unable to even let me know when it will be back up. So for anyone that has tried to contact me, now you know why I have been unable to get back to you. Now for the big news. This site will be moving very soon, (I've had enough of lousy service) so as soon as I know when, I'll let you all know the new url. Thanks for all the comments so far, this site is practically the only reason I've kept the account active. oh well... Rocco <rocco@dsl.ca> USA - Sunday, April 23, 2000 at 18:07:29 (EDT) I, SENT YOU A E MAIL LAST NIGHT BUT IM NOT SURE THE RETURN E MAIL WAS RIGHT.I WILL SAY IM MY NOT BEABLE TO SPELL, BUT YOUR BOOKS HELP ME TO READ.BECAUSE I LIKE THEM. LEN leonard wilson <goody8shoes99@yhoo.com> Brawley, ca USA - Saturday, April 22, 2000 at 00:34:38 (EDT) Hey I talked to Mickey Spillane tonight online. He instant messaged me. At first I did not believe it. But after a couple mins I knew I was talk to the real thing. Besides who would pose him anyway. Well anyway it was a really good conversation. And he is so thankful for all his fans and even more those who spend time on the web creating web sites about him. Courtney courtney <imturtling@aol.com> murfreesboro, tn USA - Thursday, April 20, 2000 at 04:15:10 (EDT) always nice to see my favorite author have his own website Andy Spillane <m026378@nadn.navy.mil> Annapolis, MD USA - Wednesday, April 19, 2000 at 22:54:31 (EDT) Hi, Supplementing to my registration in your guest-book of march 29th, 2000 my greate desire is to receive a photo with your signment.

Vienna,Austria Rudolf Urban <gerhard_vollmann@yahoo.de> Vienna, Austria - Tuesday, April 11, 2000 at 13:13:31 (EDT) Rocco, Great site. Glad to see that there are so many fans out there. I'm anxious for more, MORE. By the way, does anyone else out there wish that someone would make a decent Mike Hammer film? donny hunt <donnyhunt77@hotmail.com> USA - Monday, April 10, 2000 at 18:51:15 (EDT) Dear Mr. R., Great web site you put together. Love the back ground, and the smoking cigarette on the side. Funny thing; compared to other authors, I can still reread his books, and I am still compelled to buy his books from ever little used book store in town. Keep Gunning Down The Killers, Ariel M. Ariel M. <bebop21stcentury@yahoo.com> Toronto, Ont Canada - Thursday, March 30, 2000 at 00:26:03 (EST) I, Gerhard, write this for Rudi, but he is a verry great fan of Mickey Spillane. This pages on the Guestbook is for his bigest collection. March on 29 in 2000. Rudolf Urban <Gerhard_Vollmann@yahoo.de> Vienna, AUT - Wednesday, March 29, 2000 at 12:52:29 (EST) Navy and Mickey Spillane book, yep, me too. Remembering back, I thought that in 1976 I read a paper back titled "The Dog", about a retiring international hit man. I thought the author was Mickey Spillane, but I have NEVER been able to find it again. Anyone else read it? Mr. Spillane accurately writes about what is inside a man. Thanks Mickey! Rod <rod@worker.com> Farmers Branch, Tx USA - Tuesday, March 28, 2000 at 18:22:50 (EST) get your act together, baby. icky nowhwhereville, USA - Friday, March 24, 2000 at 11:53:56 (EST) I'm looking for a copy of one of the children's books written by Mickey called "The Ship That Never Was". If anyone has a copy they would be willing to sell...please let me know...by the way, don't see any "Happy Birthday Mickey" comments here.... He was 82 on the 9th of March!!! So here's the first...HAPPY BIRTHDAY, Mr. Mickey....Happy Birthday to Yoooou! Vickie <muggzy@sccoast.net> SC USA - Saturday, March 18, 2000 at 18:16:41 (EST) Been reading Spillane since I was a kid. Thanks for a great site. Watt Hinson <whinson@tgn.net> Bay City, Tx USA - Saturday, March 18, 2000 at 12:26:33 (EST) Been reading Spillane sice I was in the Navy-1962. I've got all his paperbacks. Some originals from the 50s. Prices-- 25-35 cents !!! I've read and reread them many times. The guy is great. I wish he'd write more. G. George Reynertson <rhino@net66.com> Hoopeston, Ill USA - Wednesday, March 08, 2000 at 21:48:49 (EST) If anyone is interested in'one of a kind' autographed 1st editions of MICKEY SPILLANE books, there are several available at the 'www.ruthwebbagency.com' auction site. The books are inscribed to Mickey Spillane's in-laws and cover girl / ex-wife, SHERRI SPILLANE. Ruth Webb <RWebbAgent@aol.com> Los Angeles, Ca. USA - Sunday, March 05, 2000 at 19:37:04 (EST) Love the site!! About 6 months ago I received, not one, but THREE autographed pictures from Mickey. I had written him through the address on the site. Thanks for everything. Heath Fodor <neotheone@prodigy.net> St. Joseph, MI USA - Monday, February 28, 2000 at 01:08:14 (EST) Rocco: was woundering if any one has ever counted how many men have read Mike Hammer books as to wemam. Not counting the tv. show, not to say that I did not like the tv. show it is just that when it comes to books I am a purest Corry Howard <corry1958yahoo.com> - Friday, February 25, 2000 at 17:43:04 (EST) Thanks for the site, Rocco. This is a "broad" who thinks Mickey Spillane is the greatest, a writer who can handle strong men *and* women. A seemingly impossible task for writers nowadays. There's a few real men and women in the world, but too damn few. I at least found my man. Here's to a real man's(and real woman's) man, Mike Hammer. Vel Vel <velkyn@aol.com> Harrisburg, PA USA - Thursday, February 10, 2000 at 12:08:58 (EST) Yes, yes, this is a fine site. Just wanted to add that the great filmaker Stanley Kubrick was an admirer of Spillane's and claimed his movie The Killing, was inspired by Spillane's writings. He credited Spillane with knowing how to connect with an audience. Deadstrobe <Deadstrobe@aol.com> USA - Monday, February 07, 2000 at 19:19:15 (EST) I was surprised that Yahoo only came up with one site for Spillane, but then again I wasn't too surprised. The best things in life lie in waiting for those who are willing to look at the footprints in the road. Most people tromple on forward to the latest illusion with no regard for the history that brings their heroes stumbling onto the platform. Anyway, I like broads who pack heat, too. P.S. If you're a writer yourself. Mystery Island publishes a couple of hardboiled magazines of pulp action segmented novels, as well as short stories, and poetry. The two titles we're accepting submissions for are Alcoholman (Pulp Fiction)and Headhunter (Hardboiled Poetry and Short Stories): PO BOX 465 Clarksburg, CA 95612. Editor, Bradley Mason Hamlin. Mystery Island <brad.hamlin@mciworld.com> Sacramento, CA USA - Wednesday, January 19, 2000 at 14:33:49 (EST) Hello! I finally made it. Bibliography of Mickey Spillane's finnish novels is now available in the Internet. These sites helped me a lot. Thanks again. Marja <a98krma@student.kaha.oamk.fi> Oulu, Finland - Monday, January 17, 2000 at 06:14:12 (EST) Very good website, I am a keen Mickey Spillane fan. Will contact you again. Kind regards Rob Robert Young <ry6@pixie.co.za> Durban, Natal South Africa - Friday, January 14, 2000 at 14:30:04 (EST) Wow! When I saw the guestbook I figured they were all old and that they were all over a long period of time. It's great to meet so many interested in him, esp. so many from different generations. I'm 31, as of tomorrow, been reading Spillane for ten or so years, and collecting his stuff. Just read the first three hammer novels this summer. Found Tomorrow I Die. Screen test is absolutely brilliant. It's got three act structure in a one minute story. Is there any way to create an updated list of Spillane's appearances. I know some people have met him at cons, but would like to be able to find a site that tells me where he'll be. Fred L. Taulbee Jr. <taulbee@chapman.edu> Orange, CA USA - Thursday, January 13, 2000 at 23:52:58 (EST) Hi, I love your site. I got a chance to hang out with Mickey back in '89 when I worked in book publishing and was his publicist on The Killing Man. Mickey came to N.Y. to do publicity and took me out to dinner for my birthday. We had a debate over how Mike Hammer says his, "It was easy," line. Mickey dragged it out, like Rocco described on the Home Page, and stuck up his middle finger for emphasis. But I told him that I saw it as more casual, laid-back. I wrote an essay about my experience with Mickey and got it published in The New York Times. It remains one of the greatest experiences of my life. Peter DeMarco <peterdemarco@prodigy.net> New York, NY USA - Wednesday, January 12, 2000 at 20:01:38 (EST) Congratulations for this site. I am a fan of Mike Hammer serie starring Stacy Keach but it is now out of TV, when I will see another time? Please, if somebody knows what is the name of the actress who played "the Face", let me know it. Thank you ruben alosilla <ralosilla@hotmail.com> Caracas, DF Venezuela - Sunday, January 09, 2000 at 20:08:06 (EST) Hey sorry I put the wrong E-Mail address. this is the new one. Rebecca Smeal <calamity85@yahoo.com> Monaca, PA USA - Saturday, January 01, 2000 at 21:08:22 (EST) Picked up an old copy of Esquire 95. Found an interveiw "A Wild Man Proper", brought back memories of the Inlet, and "BIGDADDY'S" house (Ed Hawkins). Met you a few times there over drinks. Hope the New Mellinium brings you plenty of spender. REBECCA SMEAL <rsmeal@compaq.net> monaca, pa USA - Saturday, January 01, 2000 at 11:23:24 (EST) Great site Rocco! I've been a Spillane fan since way back. I would like to correspond with as many Spillane fans as possible. I've collected over 250 books, which include first editions, signed copies and rare covers. Merry Christmas to all Hammer Fans ! Denis Riley <aufheitern@hotmail.com> Nottinghamshire, England - Sunday, December 26, 1999 at 06:42:43 (EST) great site. i am trying to get all of his books... any idea!! his only othe great rival is shell scott thanks. a million....57 and still reading them gary kennedy <gary_kennedy@reyrey.com> mesquite, tx USA - Sunday, December 12, 1999 at 19:15:21 (EST) Only now has Lee Child achieved what Mickey did 4 decades earlier Phil Housley <housley@xtra.co.nz> Auckland, New Zealand - Saturday, December 04, 1999 at 03:16:27 (EST) I was a fan of the recent Mike Hammer TV series (both CBS and syndication) starring Stacy Keach. I am an aspiring screenwriter who wants to learn from The Master (Spillane) on constructing believable plots for TV series I plan to write that will be inspired by Mike Hammer. That is as much as I can reveal until I sell my work to an agent. DeWayne Knight <d_knight@mindspring.com> Indianapolis, IN USA - Monday, November 01, 1999 at 15:29:42 (EST) Hi Rocco Im a 66 year old Mike Hammer fan. Read every one of his books I could get my hands on.It,s good to know the 30 something generation appreciates the tough PI THANKS FOR A GREAT SITE!!
