David Fulmer

David Fulmer has written about music and other subjects for a wide range of newspapers and magazines, and wrote and produced "Blind Willie's Blues," a documentary film nominated for the W.C. Handy Keeping the Blues Alive Award.
Fulmer's fiction career began with Chasing the Devil's Tail. This evocative mystery, featuring Creole detective Valentin St. Cyr and set in turn-of-the-century New Orleans, was nominated for a Los Angeles Times Book Prize, a Barry Award and a Falcon Award, and won a 2002 Shamus Award. His second Storyville novel, Jass, made the Library Journal and The St. Louis Post-Dispatch "Best of 2005" lists. Rampart Street, the third installment, was released last January. His 2007 release, The Dying Crapshooter's Blues, is set in Atlanta in the 1920s.
Fulmer's novels have received superlative reviews from The New York Times, The Sunday Telegraph, The San Francisco Chronicle, The Washington Post, The Plain Dealer, The Times Picayune, The Boston Globe, Publishers Weekly, and other publications.
Fulmer, a writer-producer with Bang Bang Lulu Productions, lives in Atlanta with his daughter Italia.
