the elm coat—a sneak peak at book two

“Left!” I said, “It says A344 on that sign—we need to go left!”

Boon popped the clutch from fourth gear to first.  The Volvo lurched forward angrily and whined heavily as we rounded the corner.  I gripped the handle of the door and slid sideways on the leather seat.  The corner of his mouth dimpled slightly as he stifled a little boy grin.

“Really?” I asked, “every corner?”

i see your god-like artistic genius and i raise you one crafty, authority-mocking geek.

I’m the kind of pumpkin carver that still thinks triangle eyes are scary.  And today, well, today I find out that this is what the rest of the world is doing.

Ray Villafane holds the VIP (very impressive pumpkins) title for Halloween.  These are his pumpkins.  Yeah, but what do they do Ray?  What do they DO?

Triangle eyes seem just a little sad—not to mention lazy—to me now.  I’m going to have to come up with something clever this year, something never done before.  Something that makes small children squeal from a block away and forces teenagers to congregate on my lawn in ragged gasps.  It’s all about the shock and awe people.

The geek in me wants to go full animation.  Oh it’s on Mr. Villafane.  It’s on.

Yes, that’s right!

For those of you in the Niagara region that have been waiting for the novel to come to a store near you—wait no further!

Head down to the New Fairvew Mall Chapters store to get your copy!  Make sure you let them know it’s a consignment novel if you have trouble finding it on the shelves.

I’ll also be in-store on Sunday, October 23rd to do some singing, dancing and shopper stalking.   WoOt!
