Meet Alice

This is Alice. She plays a small but vital role in Useful Idiot, the fourth JR Johnson book. I'm on the seventh draft, almost finished, getting to think about launch date.

Alice first appeared in passing in The Bitcoin Gambit. She lives on Barbara Jean's ranch in Spicewood, Texas. She and her husband Tommy take care of the livestock and general farm work. 

Alice's new role didn't occur to me until the fourth draft. I happened to stumble across the first draft the other day. Man, has it changed! 

The above image is AI generated. I've mentioned before that I have generated AI images of all the main characters so I can look at them when they are in a scene. I intentionally generated Alice in black and white. What would Alice say in response to one of JR's wiseguy comments. How would she say it? 

You might be surprised by Alice in the new book. I hope so.
