Praise for 'A New Year’s Eve Ball of Fire'
“A dashing Prince, palace intrigues, evil bandits, lots of swordplay and a sprinkling of voluptuous ladies--A New Year’s Eve Ball of Fire is a swashbuckling page-turner of a yarn that could just as easily have emerged from the pens of Anthony Hope (The Prisoner of Zenda) or Rafael Sabatini (Scaramouche). Instead, it comes out of the wicked imagination of actor and novelist Brett Halsey.
No stranger to swashbuckling, swordplay and voluptuous women, Halsey starred in such 1960’s Italian adventures as Seven Swords for the King and The Avenger of Venice. Twirl the mustaches! Tear up the bodices! A New Year’s Eve Ball of Fire is deliciously old-fashioned fun!”
Ron Base, author & screenwriter

I am including this nice note about 'West of Hell" from the famous artist, Billy Schenck, whose paintings are on the covers of both my Western novels.
"I finished reading “West of Hell” a couple of days ago. That is a really good western! I was amazed at how many people got shot dead before the end of the story, and horses too. Thank god you had a few folks left that could end the story.
You had that story action packed from beginning to end, and a lot of original concepts going on. Well done!
The whole story was really visual for me and I just kept thinking could this turn into a screenplay? Do you think there is any possibility for that to happen?"

I am happy that we have been able to stay in touch via this website, and of course, with Facebook.
After a number of years living and working abroad, this native born, 5th generation Southern Californian, is happily married and settled not far from where he was born. Although I really like it here, I have also enjoyed my many years of residing in Rome, Italy, San Jose, Costa Rica and Toronto, Canada.
Except for my daughter and two grandchildren in Southern Germany, most of my family is living in this general area. My parents have passed on, but three of my children and three of my grandchildren, as well as a large extended family, live reasonably nearby.
Apart from my successful screen career, I have kept up with my novel and screenplay writing, plus:
- Six years teaching at the University of Costa Rica, and acting in some Spanish language movies and TV.
- Many years in Canada, acting in US & Canadian movies & TV.
- I spent the balance of my years abroad in Rome, Italy, enjoying a long career as a star in numerous European movies & TV.
- My next novel, "A New Year's Eve Ball of Fire" will be out soon...
I’ve been happy following a less conventional career path, and now consider myself as a writer who acts rather than as an actor who writes.
The details, some photos, video links, and some reminiscences will be found elsewhere in this website. I hope you enjoy looking through it.!
With my very best wishes,
Brett
