Review excerpts for Trail of the Burned Man "...this book, like many of the Black Horse Westerns, is a rich, detailed, and engrossing story....McNulty is a gifted writer and crafts a tale that is more than a simple good-posse-chases-bad-one plot...Something tells me that McNulty knows his wilderness, too, because the beauty of the landscape is in stark contrast to the horrors that await Rafe and his posse along the way—horrors that include torture and watching the Sioux take revenge in an unforgettable, horrific scene that will not soon be forgotten..."        —Laurie Powers, Laurie's Wild West "Thomas McNulty has created a superbly insane bad guy in his character Dutch. Just wondering what he'll do next, particularly when the posse are his prisoners, is more than enough to keep a reader enthralled...McNulty's writing style is easy to read, smooth flowing, propelling the storyline on in an ever increasing pace....Trail of a Burned Man is a fast moving tale that should definitely appeal to those who enjoy a savage storyline..."        —Steve Myall, Western Fiction Review

For ten years Thomas McNulty walked the Hollywood beat as a free-lance writer and found himself interviewing Tom Hanks, Robert Vaughn, Jackie Chan, David Carradine, Noel Neil, Douglas Fairbanks, Jr. and many others. His interviews with Jack Elam, Sheb Wooley and Jeff Corey were the first comprehensive profiles of their careers. The interviews collected here form an anecdotal history of Hollywood from the 1920s through today. This volume includes an inside look at the making of Road to Perdition starring Tom Hanks and Paul Newman, from the moment he stepped onto the set as an extra and through the three day press junket a year later. Written with passion and insight, Thomas McNulty's The Hollywood Beat is an affectionate look at filmmaking and the craft of acting. With previously unpublished photographs, The Hollywood Beat brings together an impressive collection of cowboys, swashbucklers, femme fatales, heroes, villains, stunt men, comedians, monsters and martial artists.

Errol Flynn set the standard for the modern action hero in films like The Adventures of Robin Hood, Dodge City, and The Sea Hawk. This biography follows Flynn from his birth in Tasmania, Australia, in 1909, to his death in Vancouver, Canada, in 1959. Included is analysis of his films, discussion of the 1943 rape trial that changed his life, a survey of the FBI's infamous surveillance, and the first detailed account of his television appearances in the 1950s. First-hand interviews with Flynn's friends and colleagues are complemented by research from FBI files, correspondence, Flynn's diary, and other sources. Illustrated with rare and previously unpublished photographs, the study also gives attention to the historical backgrounds and cultural influences that contributed to Flynn's fame; the work takes an objective and analytical look at the actor's adventurous life.

The study includes two appendices: the first is a collection of quotations from various celebrities, from memories of his talent and style to anecdotes about his wild pool parties. The second appendix is a filmography including all Flynn's work for film, stage, and television, with cast and crew information.

Thomas McNulty's Anthropoets is a tour-de-force collection that explores the range of American poetry – personal, meditative, lyrical, political, and ultimately unforgettable. Anthropoets reveals a writer who embraced the compulsion to write and never let it go. "I decided to include a variety of work spanning thirty years of scribbling in notebooks." McNulty says in his provocative introduction, and it's soon apparent this is a writer with a great deal to say. A man watching the sunset over the Illinois prairie suddenly realizes he is looking into the past. A hunter encounters a madman who alters his perspective. A mother listening to the sounds of a baseball game grieves for a son who has lost his way. A farm girl on her sixteenth birthday yearns for a life in Hollywood. A walk through the Art Institute of Chicago becomes a meditation on the human condition before transforming into a litany on the creative impulse itself. Each of these selections reveals a remarkable aspect of the human experience. These powerful poems are textured with remarkable clarity, drawn from the writer's psyche, forged onto the page with an almost painful honesty, but honed with a craftsman's eye.
