Yes, Martin is still publishing, and still picking up awards.
I'd start with THE ARMAGEDDON RAG (a very chauvinist
rock'n'roll novel, quite certain that hippy-era rock is
inarguably the best...Mountain, of course, being much better
than Link Wray or the Dead Kennedys--surely we all agree...),
or perhaps FEVRE DREAM (a more controversial choice) or "The
Monkey Treatment" (a good exposure to his vigor, and lack of
fear of the crass [as opposed to Crass the band, surely worse
than Tommy James and the Shondells]). Did a fair amount of
video work in the '80s, between TWILIGHT ZONE and BEAUTY AND
THE BEAST the tv series, may still be at it in Hollywood.
Dunno if I can say he's particularly hb...
If we can go Creasey and Gideon, how about Ron Goulart's Max
Kearney, the father of modern-day snappy patter
p(sychic-phenomena) i folk?
