(EMAILWIRE.COM, November 08, 2011 ) COLORADO, USA -- The HBO series Bored to Death's bungling private eye-writer Jonathan Ames would sell his mother for this book. Fortunately, he doesn't have to as it's on sale for .99 at Amazon through November 24, 2011.

HOW TO WRITE A DICK: A GUIDE FOR WRITING FICTIONAL SLEUTHS FROM A COUPLE OF REAL-LIFE SLEUTHS is geared to fiction writers crafting mystery, private eye, suspense and thriller stories, and who want to learn the low-down on the real world of private eyes. Its authors are Denver, Colorado private investigators Colleen Collins and Shaun Kaufman, who co-own Highlands Investigations. Kaufman is also a licensed Colorado criminal defense attorney at Shaun Kaufman Law. HOW TO WRITE A DICK is a compilation of lectures, writers workshop presentations, articles, and posts from their popular true-crime blog Guns, Gams, and Gumshoes. Besides being a handy reference book for writers, its material is also useful for researchers, investigators and those simply curious about the world of PIs.

“Forget Google and Bing. When you need to research PI work, go to the experts, Colleen Collins and Shaun Kaufman: they live it, they teach it, they write it. How to Write a Dick is the best work of its kind I’ve ever come across because it covers the whole spectrum in an entertaining style that will appeal to layman and lawmen alike. This will be the industry standard for years to come.”
- Reed Farrel Coleman, three-time Shamus Award winner for Best PI Novel of the Year and author of Hurt Machine
