Tuesday, 16th November -- My second week of real embarrassment. Yet again, for the second time, I'm 1-4. The Rams didn't show up to the stadium last night and lost big. The only team that didn't let me down this week was the Buffalo Bills, thank you, Josh Allen. So, to date: 30-19. Again, if you used my picks, I'm sorry I'm such a dufus, guess I won't win first place this year, not that I ever have, but it's always a fond hope.
On the denouements of RECKONING, with the end to both plots in mind, well, sort of. As I've probably told you, I'm what's called a Pantser (a writer who writes by the seat of the pants) as opposed to a Plotser (a writer who outlines before writing), to which I always say when asked, how can I plot when I don't know what the characters are going to do? I guess it's maybe half and half amongst the writers I've met.
Today is gorgeous, in the sixties, a perfect day to head outside to a nice challenging hike, don't know where yet, but it'd be neat if I knew you guys were in your own place hiking with me (in spirit). Hey, maybe we can sing the Hitler song the GIs sang in WW2 when marching.

I'm Baaaack!

Halloween's coming up fast, the day the zombies burst out of the ground and terrify the crap out of us, not to mention eat our candy and eat our brains.
Update on BOMBSHELL, the 17th FBI Thriller: I'm nearly finished with the edit. The cover is very cool, explodes with eye-popping color. BOMBSHELL is set in Maestro, Va., (the setting of the 10th FBI thriller, POINT BLANK) and in Washington.
JEWEL OF THE LION (first thriller in A Brit in the FBI series partnered with J.T. Ellison). JEWEL moves fast and you don't know what's going to happen on the next page, and you're biting your toenails or a zombie's toenails. J.T. is an excellent plotter and that means when we brainstorm no plot gets left behind.
Alas, no kids want candy enough to crawl up our oxygen-deprived steep driveway, and the sad thing is, I still have a big bowl of candy, every year, but no one comes, not even the zombies with brain bags.
Take care, Catherine
