Bill Fitzhugh

Bill Fitzhugh offers you a choice in biography. Here's the first one: Bill Fitzhugh is the award-winning author of nine satiric crime novels. His most recent is “The Exterminators," the sequel to "Pest Control" which was one of Amazon's Top 50 Mysteries when it published. Peter Millar of The Times (London) said "Pest Control" was "One of the funniest, most off-beat thrillers to hit the bookstalls in years. An action-packed plot, stuffed with streetwise lines and larger-than-life characters." The New York Times put him in a league with Carl Hiaasen and Elmore Leonard, calling him “a strange and deadly amalgam of screenwriter and comic novelist.” Film rights to two of his novels ("Pest Control" and "Cross Dressing") have been sold to Warner Brothers and Universal Studios respectively. "Pest Control" was also produced as a German radio show and a stage musical in Los Angeles. Translated into six languages, Fitzhugh is currently adapting a Peter Straub short story for PCH Films. Or you might like this bio better: Bill Fitzhugh has been described as “of average height” and “not particularly fast in the hundred meters, though quick enough to escape capture that one time.” According to the New York Times, “He is the author of enough books to keep you busy for a while.” Confounding critics and readers alike, his series of stand-alone novels explores the dark underbelly of the world of testicle transplants, the international kitty porn industry, and pie-eating contests. His novel, I Think I Need My Stomach Pumped features a new protagonist: Angus McNaughty, a loner and an alley cat, who travels only with a toothbrush and furball medicine. Fitzhugh lives in Los Angeles with very little hope of a decent future.
