Catching UP!


 Books went to Press this week:
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.
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?


Galleys that went out this Week:
Haunted Circles: A Hannah Pitkin Griswold Mystery, Vol. 4.
   Most freshmen at the university swear that there are ghosts on campus, but Hannah Pitkin Griswold knows the truth. There is one ghost seeking help, the kind of help only Hannah can provide.
   Life travels in circles that connect through time. These circles need to meet if spirits are to ever rest. Entering her freshman year of college Hannah runs headlong into a ghost striving to complete a circle of life derailed a hundred years ago.
   Can Hannah help the spirit realign her path? Will this spirit be forever searching for a love missing since World War One?
   More importantly will Hannah herself complete a circle that has been haunting her since eighth grade?




Work began or continued on the following books this week:
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?

   Finally! The last volume in the ever-popular Legacy Series, a 4 volume time-travel series that is every bit as intriguing as Outlander. 
Cover Not Set
BACKWOODS MEMORIES, by Shelley Abbott    

Jack's News!
  by your Official Bookstore Cat,  
and Gossip Columnist.
HI Everyone, 
    Jack here, your favorite bookstore cat.   Heard from The Writers Bloc this week with news of their meeting:
Tomorrow, October 21, while Meeting Room 3 is closed for spiffing up, we will venture to Seaford, DE at the invitation of their librarian. Maybe Jerry will be good enough to forward directions or post them on www.facebook.com/The-Writers-Bloc for those of us who need a little help to Seaford Library.

Meeting time will be the usual 1 to 3 p.m., but a public panel discussion will also be offered, starting at 11 a.m., on various ways to jump start a latent interest in writing. Please try to come early and contribute your wisdom to the discussion. If there's any lull in the action, we can take in the nearby sites between times.


   We have a really good crop of Walnuts this year, so I've been napping on the chaise on the back porch so I can watch the squirrels at work. They sure have been busy and sometimes they argue over  the best nuts. It's fun to watch them jump up and down and SCREAM at each other. 

But the black squirrel doesn't waste time doing that. He's too busy!
Meanwhile if any of you, My Favorite Authors, are going to conferences, holding book signings, or have any news or some good gossip for me. 
Just drop an e-mail to: arline@mail.com  

with

"News for Jack" 

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