From the author...

The goal of this site is NOT to sell books — it’s to share stories intended for future adaptation into independent films. Public interest is key to making that happen.

All pieces are available as free downloads in the hope of building a loyal readership. A strong following here and on social media could help attract producers or investors to bring these projects to life.

While there’s no fee or obligation, I would truly appreciate it if you left a short review after reading. Just email a quick 1–2 line assessment to: RichLegnini@gmail.com.

If you know any other crime drama fans, please pass this site along. Feel free to share your thoughts on social media too — word of mouth might be slow, but it’s the most powerful tool there is!

    “I was a social worker for 22 years in
    New Jersey. Many cases of emotional handicapped children can be linked
