R.J. (Ralph) Westerhoff, known as “Cookie” to his intimates, has been writing since he first scrawled with a purple crayon on his green bedroom wall. He spent more than two decades in advertising as a copywriter and creative director. He is currently working on pieces in both the noir and the historical mystery genres, though his success can be judged by the deep furrows of consternation scratched into his Klingon-like forehead.
I.A. Watson first passed through Grand Central in the summer of ’94. Since then he’s published the novels Robin Hood: King of Sherwood, Robin Hood: Arrow of Justice, and the forthcoming Robin Hood: Freedom’s Outlaw; Blackthorn: Dynasty of Mars and the upcoming Blackthorn: Spires of Mars; and contributed to anthologies including five volumes of Sherlock Holmes: Consulting Detective, Gideon Cain, Demon Hunter, Blackthorn: Thunder on Mars, The New Adventures of Richard Knight, Blood-Price of the Missionary’s Gold, Monster Earth, and The New Adventures of Sinbad. He even got awards or award nominations for a lot of them. He’s not claiming this was all down to visiting Grand Central, you understand, but you can see why he might want to write a story about the place for a good cause.
