Blood Moon is proud to be the publisher of works by
Darwin Porter, one of the most prolific writers in the
world. He has keenly observed the Hollywood scene
since he worked, beginning at the age of 20, as an
entertainment columnist and later, bureau chief, for
The Miami Herald.
Referring to himself as a "social historian," he
specializes in sagas, some of them brutal, all of them
artful, showcasing some aspect of the history of
America during the 20th century. Many of his insights
derive from extensive interviews with eyewitnesses to
situations that Hollywood publicists once worked
feverishly to suppress.
Porter's writing is edgy and well-crafted. His
non-fiction works are grounded in fact, using
respected journalistic techniques based on decades of
experience at major publications. In many cases, the
revelations they contain, although sometimes
commonly traded among Hollywood insiders, have
never been revealed to the general public before.
Well-respected biographies by Darwin Porter have
included the life stories of Humphrey Bogart,
Katharine Hepburn, Howard Hughes, and the lives
of many of the movie stars of Hollywood's Silent Era.

Aside from his writing about Hollywood and the
entertainment industry, Porter is the co-author of
more than 800 editions of the Frommer Travel
Guides to destinations that include most of Europe,
the Caribbean, the Carolinas, and Georgia.
He's also a regular monthly columnist ("Hollywood
Remembered") for Senior Life and Boomer Times,
a widely distributed magazine in South Florida, and a
frequent guest on radio programs throughout the
United States.
When not traveling, which is rare, Darwin lives in
New York City, with frequent excursions to Europe
(especially London), and California.
