More of the Same

 

Jeff–Saturday

With that title for this post I could write about so many things. Some good, some bad, some encouraging, some utterly disheartening. But the point is, I DON’T HAVE TIME! 

And I won’t intrude upon your precious time with my whining over all I have to do in the coming week to properly carry out my duties at Iceland Noir (my favorite mystery conference).  Nor shall I mention the articles I’ve promise to write in advance of the November 20^th re-release of my entire fourteen-book Chief Inspector Andreas Kaldis series –other than to say the books are in brand new covers and are the perfect size for peripatetic fans of classic paperback mystery-thrillers.

Oh yes, then there’s that book tour to organize around the February 3^rd debut of A Study in Secrets, the first volume in my new Redacted Man series.

So, what’s a fellow to do in such circumstances?

In my case, I try my best to make my readership smile…or possibly giggle a bit…perhaps even laugh.  To do that I need the right material. But where to find it?  To my everlasting joy I found the answer in my inbox in the form of a second epistle from a former high school chum who a few weeks ago forwarded me a stream of his favorite cartoons; ones that many of our readers liked. 

It was as if the heavens saw my dire straits and ordained sending me that second batch at the very moment I needed it most.

Thank you, dear JC.
