Catching UP!

NO Books Went to Press this week:


Work began or Continued on the following:
LAKE EERIE: Haunted Homicide, by Thornton Parsons
   The police photographer snapped pictures of the body in the rowboat. Special Agent McCreary ruminated on the initial K that Renda had written in her own blood—she had recognized her killer! Trapped in a dark future between here and the hereafter, Renda Rousseau finds that even in death, she cannot escape the weasel with the Coke-bottle glasses who murdered her family. Despite her ethereal rage, she is unable to contact her twin sister, Brenda, who knows that Renda is still at the lake house. But, why? Renda will capture your heart as you join her on her heart-stopping quest to leave her ghostly realm and join David and her children in Heaven. But how? Is she doomed to haunt the lake house for eternity? Relive this riveting tale of love, betrayal, and death with Renda as she makes her way back Home. Or does she?

DELICATE DAMES, by Barbara Grengs, author of the popular teen Toby Martin series.
Four filthy rich, entitled, spunky old broads livie in an upscale senior high rise in Mendota Heights, Minnesota where they fight their boredom by playing games, but their usual games of  canasta and poker have lost their allure. So what do the girls do to add excitement, adventure, fun and satisfaction? They invent Pop Goes the Weasel, a game where they plan to pop deserving old coots. Whats not to like about conspiring to commit murder? 

IS JESUS SERIOUS? A Garro Guide for Christians
    If, like me, you struggle with some of the behaviors Jesus asks of His followers and with St. Paul's telling us we are called to be saints, I write this 4th Volume in The Jesus Series, "Is Jesus Serious?" to speak to Christians' personal struggles to meet Jesus's and Paul's expectations.

Both will be available Tomorrow, Saturday, at Sharptown for Heritage Days. Our meeting will be at the regular 1 to 3 hour, but those interested in vending can bring their wares and participate at the Bloc's stand. Please let Andy or Tom know if you're bringing books or whatnot so we can try to have good room for all.

And Equally pleased to say!

 
   Helen Chappell, our neighbor over to Oysterback, has a new book out and Arline says it's Real Good! She laughed so hard she almost fell out of the chair. I wanted to read it, but she wouldn't let me have the Kindle, and Sid has the spare.

   All is well here, although Arline forgot her medication two days in a row. It'll take her 3 or 4 days to get back to normal now, but in time she'll get back on track. Until then, we'll all just have to be patient with her.

   If anyone knows how to get an adolescent baby sister to Shut UP, please e-mail me. Spunky snuck out again and sang with Bad, Bad, Leroy Brown, the Tom Cat who lives half a mile down the road that goes to the river. They sang to the moon a cappella all night long, right under Roger's bedroom window. He was not amused!

   Spunky may not sing on-key, but at least she isn't very loud. Leroy, on the other hand, sounds like he has fish bones stuck in his throat and has more volume than Alice Cooper.
 
Meanwhile,  if any of you -- my favorite authors -- are going to festivals, or holding book signings, or have heard any good gossip, please let me know so I can pass the news along right here for all the world to See. 

Just drop an e-mail to:

with

"News for Jack" 

 in the subject line, and
I'll make sure it shows up here  
for all the world to see!
