I'd love to hear more about your plan -- retiring in a few weeks and will have time. I currently run the Columbo fanfic page Just One More Paragraph (http://www.planetpreset.com/colfanfic.html).
My only query is, what would we do differently than Mark Dawidziak in his Columbo Phile or some of the other self-published books on Amazon?
I hope you can find the time to contribute - you're more than welcome.
Different from "The Columbo Phile"? It only goes up to 1978. There's another 24 episodes (and 25 years) to cover.
Plus by including reviews by as disparate a collection of fans as possible, hopefully many different aspects of the series' appeal will be highlighted.
There still aren't that many books on "Columbo" - there's plenty of room for not just ONE more. There should be loads of books about the series. I'd buy 'em.
