Previews Of Coming Attractions

Have you been out of touch of the Justice Security world for a while?  Let me fill you in:

The last published Justice Security story, Hell’s Bells, saw the loss a member of Justice Security during the trip to Hell, and almost saw the end of Madeline, Nicholas Turner’s half-angel daughter.  That was in 2017.

In 2018, in the last published Sardis County story, I’m Your Boogie Man, we saw that Justice Security is building a new home in Sardis County, almost identical to the one in the city.  Nicholas Turner is moving his family to Sardis County as a partner of Justice Security.  Nicholas, Jim Dandy, Patty Ferguson, Brandon King, and Snickers are all new resident of Perry, the county seat in Sardis County.

Of course, that means Madeline is going, too.

If you remember, Madeline has forgotten how to access her “angel” side, so she’s growing as a regular, mortal girl.

Now, what’s coming up:

The next Justice Security novel, Black Dog, is complete, and will see publication later this year.  Black Dog takes place soon after the events of Hell’s Bells and I’m Your Boogie Man.  There will be changes in personnel, and a tidying-up of an old case.  But, the story is set mostly inside the Justice Security building…a kind of “day-to-day” preview of life there.

Following Black Dog will be Lido Shuffle.  Lido Shuffle will tell the story of Lido Bouvier, a Cajun assassin-for-hire with a contract to take out Joey Justice, along with his Chicago acquaintances, Lieutenant Michelle “Mickey” Rooney, Detective Sam Tanner, and private investigator Manny Ramirez.  Instead of travelling to Chicago, Mickey Rooney and her gang come to Justice Security, with lots of explosive action.

The book after Lido Shuffle will be a Sardis County novel, Werewolves Of London.  All you need to know is that Madeline arrives in Perry, and meets up with Mary Smalls and Carol Grace Montgomery, along with the Sardis witches.  Does Madeline regain her memory?  And what are the werewolves of London?  Tune in for more…

So, there it is:  a “previously in Justice Security” and a “previously in Sardis County” refreshers, and a “coming attractions” preview of the next three books.

Whew.

Keep reading!

Bonkers From Quarantine

Are you finding it hard to concentrate on reading?  Or on watching a movie?

Are you going bonkers in quarantine?

I get it.  I really get it.

Not everyone is like me.  I like being at home.  I enjoy reading, writing, and watching movies.

What are some things you can do while you’re keeping safe?

1   1.      Exercise. (LOLOLOL)

2   2.      If the weather permits, go outside.  Walk around.  Just keep your distance from others, okay?

3   3.      Plant a garden.

4   4.      Throw rocks into lakes and rivers.

5   5.      Instead of chasing them away, try feeding wildlife, like squirrels.  If you show enough         patience, eventually you will be trusted by the wild animal…and you may be able to touch or pet it.

Now, for the more introverted (like me):

1   1.      Read.  (Especially my stories – they’re at Amazon, in Kindle Unlimited)

2   2.      Write.

3   3.      Enjoy a long hot bath or shower.  No need to stink while you’re quarantined.

4   4.      Play with your children.  Or grandchildren.

5   5.      Play with your pets.

6   6.      Try that recipe that you’ve been wanting to try.

7   7.      Binge watch that TV show you’ve been wanting to watch.

There are lots of things you can do to keep yourself occupied.

But, most of all, stay safe and keep reading!

What To Do In Scary Times

Scary times right now.  People are worried about getting sick, or, even worse, dying from this virus that’s sweeping the globe.

I’m worried, too.  I’m sixty years old, and I have underlying health issues.  My wife is also sixty.  My dad is eighty-two years old, and my daughter has asthma.  My stepdaughters are healthy, with no big health issues, and the grandkids are all healthy.

So, yeah, I’m frightened.

What can be done to combat the virus?

Follow all instructions from your government and health officials.  The best things to do are:

1.      Wash your hands.  Soap and water for twenty seconds is sufficient.

2.      Don’t touch your face.  If your hands aren’t clean, you can transmit the virus.

3.      Stay home.  As much as possible, stay home.  If you ARE out, you should:

4.      Spread out!  Stay at least three feet away from others.

5.      Don’t hoard!  If you buy up all the supplies, what’s left for others?

Simple rules to keep you safe.  Stay home and READ!

If you have Kindle Unlimited, you can read all of my stories at no extra cost.  They’ll be there at least until June, and maybe longer, so take advantage while you can!

Stay safe, people, and keep reading!
