Sited in the Wild
A friend was used book shopping in Jacksonville, FL yesterday and sent me a photo of some of my mass market paperback titles from Chamblin Book Mine.
As the sculptor Bob "Daddy-O" Wade once said of his Tango frogs, you never know where your children are going to wind up.

Two New Arrivals At Our House
The holiday season is always an exciting even in a time of pandemic.
We've had a lot going on. Authorwise it was exciting to get author copies of Fool's Run in from Crossroad Press. They traveled quickly via UPS. It reminds me of the days when I published by Pinnacle and author copies shipment would turn up. It's a feeling that never gets old.
Signed copies were quickly turned around for recent Goodreads giveaway winners, and those are now headed toward their destinations via the good people at the USPS.
Fool's Run: A Si Reardon Novel
Familywise, well, the other new arrival is Miss Zoe Moonshadow, who was a guest of the humane society after two previous owners were deployed in quick succession.
She's about five and will be taking on companion animal and editorial assistant duties shortly.

Five Days Until the Fool's Run Release
Fool's Run: A Si Reardon Novel
The release of Fool's Run is just five days away.
Here's a snippet:
I didn’t like being the one in hiding. The one sweating. When you’re a cop you can almost pick up the scent of that sweat and fear. You’re usually on the trail of a stupid kid who’s botched a job that seemed easy enough when all the factors weren’t weighed.
Now I knew how it felt.
Icicles were melting in my armpits and spilling down my torso. I’d acted on impulse, thinking I could pull it off with bravado and will power. I was starting to feel like I’d knocked over a liquor store and found my car blocked in…
