Jones Point was a good read- especially because I live in Alexandria. When you wrote that Landry is an ICBM, I wondered if you've read Louise Penny's books. Her characters are sometimes "FINE" (F**ked up, Insecure, Neurotic, and Egotistical)? Curious minds and all that. Now I'll look for your earlier books.

John Wasowicz Dena: I enjoy Louise Penny but I didn’t get the idea from FINE, at least not consciously. I thought of Landry as a reckless rocket man, hence the ICBM…moreDena: I enjoy Louise Penny but I didn’t get the idea from FINE, at least not consciously. I thought of Landry as a reckless rocket man, hence the ICBM. JP is Book 2 of the series. The order is Daingerfield Island, JP, Slaters Lane, and Roaches Run. If you send a mailing address to my email account (wazwitz@yahoo.com), I will sign and mail you a courtesy copy of one of those books, whichever one you prefer. Gadsby’s Corner will be out this year. Take care. JW (less)

Where's Elmo? Haven't heard of him since Daingerfield Island and Jones Point (2019). Maybe a sighting at his coffee house in Del Ray?

Katz & Co. solve it by using phones, virtual searches, computers, and conference calls. It’s being proofed as we speak. The cover art is being finalized. I’m searching for a narrator; contacted Signature Theater this morning. Hopefully we’ll get it published this summer. Thanks for asking and stay in touch. (less)
