Miss Me ?

Not that we’ve missed you, but what have you been doing these past few weeks?

The answer is written on the wind. No never mind that was from a song. The answer really is that I’ve been finishing up the next book with the kind assistance of M. K. Sala. This one has nothing to do with angels or young men who can stop time. Rather it follows the exploits of group of totally human writers who turn to crime solving to supplement their income from non-published books.

Personally I’ve always wanted to have an exploit. I mean I’ve had expletives that were deleted. I managed to miss being shredded by explosions that came near to me. I’ve even tried to explore the hidden mysteries of the Orient, or at least the back roads of Viet Nam, but I don’t think that I’ve ever really had an exploit.

The dictionary says that an exploit is an interesting or daring action or achievement. Well I’ve had what I thought were interesting moments, but I doubt that others would think of them as interesting. As for daring, I’ve tried all of my life to avoid being daring. Heck, I even cringed when in “A Christmas Story” the one boy accepts a “double dog dare” to stick his tongue onto a freezing metal pole. Although, I will admit to laughing at his predicament when he later appeared with a bandage on the tip of his tongue. That’s what doing daring things can get you.

The folks in this book perform daring deeds almost by accident. They solve crimes of monstrous proportions and discover solutions to problems that are so small as to slip under the radar of the most diligent police force. 

Personally I found it to be a very readable book, and I hope that all of you will as well. Take a look and feel free to tell me what you think. The title is “The SPEW House Mysteries” and if you go over to Kindle you can find it   here or you can click on the picture to the right.
