    No More Heroes's Interests
Books

“Donkey Punch stomps, a ferocious asskicker of a novel. Ray Banks writes with swagger, venomous drollery and a good hard eye for details that matter The characters he creates hang in the mind, spilling beer, fumbling for smokes, wandering into crimes that simply happen without much advance planning—that is, Donkey Punch presents a stunningly warped reflection of life as we know it in some neighborhoods.” - Daniel Woodrell, author of The Death Of Sweet Mister and Winter’s Bone.

“For those bored with the traditional approach of crime and mystery series – who know that there is more to be found in the big, bad world of crime fiction – Banks is the man. His books are smart, unpredictable and, above all, dangerous. And Donkey Punch – even without the benefit of reading Saturday’s Child – confirms his status as one of the best crime writers working in the UK today.” - Russel McLean, Crime Scene Scotland

“Vivid and realistic, with an appealingly flawed hero and an interesting setting amid the underside of modern LA, this is a knockout.” - Scotland on Sunday

   No More Heroes's Blurbs
About me:
Ray Banks shares his birthday with Chuck Barris and Curtis Mayfield and was born in a Fife town famous for chocolate cake and linoleum. He went to school somewhere nice and posh, then he went to university for two years before he jacked it in, something he insists was an achievement. After that, he spent his time as a double-glazing salesman, croupier, dole monkey and various degrees of disgruntled and possibly drunk office temp.

Right now, he lives in Newcastle-Upon-Tyne with his perfect wife The Natural Brunette and a fat black cat named after a dead country singer.

Who I'd like to meet:

Edward Abbey, Barry Adamson, Julian Barratt, Lenny Bruce, Ken Bruen, Charles Bukowski, Edward Bunker, James M Cain, Nick Cave, Craig Clevenger, Harry Crews, Larry David, James Ellroy, Noel Fielding, John Fante, Stona Fitch, Sam Fuller, Barry Gifford, William Goldman, The Gourds, Sara Gran, Dashiell Hammett, Bill Hicks, Chester Himes, William Hjortsberg, Stephen King, Kings Of Leon, Takeshi Kitano, Tim Krabbe, Joe Lansdale, Jack London, Ed McBain, Cormac McCarthy, Horace McCoy, Richard Marinick, Shane Meadows, Frank Miller, Eddie Muller, Flannery O'Connor, Chuck Palahniuk, Scott Phillips, Richard Pryor, Derek Raymond, John Ridley, Robert Rodriguez, Mickey Rourke, James Sallis, Martin Scorcese, Hubert Selby Jnr, Iceberg Slim, Richard Stark, Charlie Stella, Joe Strummer, Tom Waits, Hunter S. Thompson, Jim Thompson, Donald E. Westlake, Charles Willeford, Daniel Woodrell.

Hey There! How was your summer. I can’t believe it’s September can you? What’s new and exciting in your neck of the woods? Wishing you a prosperous fall. Talk to you soon.

Son of a bitch! I'm moving over seas so I can buy your books. This whole 'living in America' shit is lame. Although I should probably try the internet first...

A life Inside by Erwin James is an underrated book, no question about it. Have the follow up in my collection somewhere.

Thanks for adding me and welcome to the world of me.

I'm interested to know more about this new work that currently serves as the default photo for your profile. I don't see anything elsewhere in blogs & whatnot.

Thanks for the add. Cal's honest nature has shamed me into recidivism so I've actually paid real money for No More Heroes and waiting 4 weeks for Waterstones to deliver rather than stealing the last two from the library.

Can't you tell your publishers to hurry up or use carrier pigeons or something?

WOW! I can’t believe January is already gone. Where is the button to slow down this ride we call life? Hope all is great with you and yours.

Mr. Banks,
I haven't read Donkey Punch yet, but I can only imagine that with a title like that, Saturday's Child will be considered tame. I hope you can come and visit the Poisoned Pen in the future.

I got to hang with your Harcourt editors last week. She's a neat lady and don't worry, I told her good things about you.

Very cool, so when am I getting a signed copy of this book? You know I can't read it until you send it to me.
