Sherlock Holmes Would Be Proud

That’s an actual headline from the Hartford Courant.

Let me guess.
Lead poisoning?

And people say journalism is dying.

Back when Jay Leno hosted The Tonight Show, he used to do a segment built around headlines like this. Now that he’s retired, I feel a civic duty to step in once in a while.

Which brings me to the novel I’m working on—a new JR Johnson thriller. This one is a little different from the previous books.

Here’s the teaser:
​
JR Johnson was hired to move a $150 billion covert government fund.
To survive, he has to move a few bodies instead.

Turns out he’s good at it.

Spoiler alert: there are several unfortunate cases of lead poisoning.

The book is still in progress. It will be done when it's done. Writers call this a “schedule.”

The title is: The Seventh Man

Shaun, the artist I work with, has already started kicking around cover ideas. This is always the most dangerous part of writing a novel. Nothing motivates a writer like seeing a cover for a book he hasn’t finished yet.

Meanwhile my recently launched humor book Press The Button is doing fine.
It’s nothing like the JR thrillers. That’s because I’m versatile. Or possibly confused.

If you haven’t read it yet, it’s available on Amazon. I’m suggesting people consider it as an alternative gift instead of a birthday card.

Most birthday cards cost six dollars, say nothing interesting, and end up in the trash.
My book costs about the same…
…but at least it comes with jokes.
