State of the TAM - 1st Feb
People who came for the books probably wonder why my newsletter is all about dogs. But this is what my brain is full of this weather, so you all get to share it with me!
Jax is doing really well still! He’s off his painkillers, being good about not jumping up at the window, and has a fancy new bed that he really enjoys. Well, that he enjoys when Izzy hasn’t stolen it from him.
He’s got his first appointment at the doggie physio next week to see what we’ll be doing there.
Look at the babies! Don’t be fooled. They are usually in motion!

‘Feet of Clay’ by TA Moore is a Lost and Found short story and a prequel to Prodigal. It took fifteen years for Sammy Calloway to find his way home, find out what those left behind did with those years.
You can find Prodigal at most online retailers.


Fifteen years ago Sammy Calloway disappeared on his way home from school. Now he’s back… or is he?
Boyd Maccabbee has spent his life second-guessing his actions on that fateful day. What if he’d done something differently? Maybe Sammy would have made it home safe and never become Cutters Gap’s most tragic famous son. Or would it have been Boyd who was never seen again? When the police find new evidence on the disappearance, Boyd hopes to finally get some answers.
The last thing Morgan Graves needs is to be dragged into some old case about a missing kid. He doesn’t know why police hit on his DNA, but he’s not Sammy Calloway. He thinks he’d remember being kidnapped.
He knows he’d remember firefighter Boyd.
Drawn into the complex web of suspicion, grief, and anger that has knit Cutters Gap together in the years since Sammy’s disappearance, Morgan struggles to hang on to himself when everyone already assumes they know him.
And somewhere, the truth about Sammy Calloway is waiting.


I am addicted to this show. I’m hoping for a happy ending where Catherine heads off into the sunset in her jeep. I’m expecting an ending that’s neither happy nor sad, rather existentially devastating and bitter-sweet.
Pretty much how I use it!

Tommy Lee Royce is not a redeemable or sympathetic bad guy. He’s not really evil either, no more than any nasty thing in the world is. He lacks the moral capacity to be other than what he is, to be better or decide to eschew his better angels. Born or made, he’s just a skinned-raw id in a skin pretty enough that he can pass as long as nothing bumps him.
That said, I love this unexpectedly cinematic sequence in the current series.
