“This kid can pack ‘em away!” Wyatt said, bringing another plate of quesadillas to the group. “Thirty two slices.” “Thirty two slices!” I repeated. “That’s, like, um… four times eight… thirty four slices!” Naomi quickly corrected me. “Dude,” I said, my jaw dropping to the floor.

“No… eight full quesadillas,” he said, again pronouncing it wrong. “Eight quesadilla triangles?” I said, grossed out. “Eight,” Slug answered, breathing heavily. I’ve done virtually no promotion aside from a post on my website, so it will be a gradual process of Read the rest of this entry »Įnter your email address to subscribe to this blog and receive notifications of new posts by email.“How many did you eat?” I asked. At any rate, it’s out in paper now so people are happy.Īre they selling better in paper than in e-book format? I’m not very good at proofing my own stuff but I had help. And then, after reformatting it multiple times, we had to proofread it again. There was a lot of tinkering with the format and going over proofs. Having already put older books on Kindle, Nook and Kobo e-readers, I thought it would be simple, but it turned out to be harder than I thought. Originally I was planning to write more Thomas Black mysteries for e-format only, but there were a lot of complaints about the book not being available in paper, so I backtracked and told people the paper version would come out in time for the holidays, which it did. You’ve just brought out Monica’s Sister in trade paper? How was that process and what are your thoughts on it? Top of Mount Si, 4167′, mid December 2013, facing Seattle which is fogged in. Thus, should Fontana and company come back, they would still be living in a small town in the Cascade foothills in the 1980’s.
When and if Fontana and Brendan and Mayor Mo ever come back, they won’t have aged at all and, unlike the Black series, I wouldn’t allow the world around them to age. On writing another Fontana: I would like to someday write another Fontana, but so far the muse hasn’t struck. I have no intention of aging these characters, even though the technology of their lives is changing with the times. These days he uses the Internet and cell phones to track the bad guys. The world has changed and if you read the books straight through, you might notice in the earlier books Thomas uses a pay phone and has no computer access.

You might notice that even though thirty years have passed since the series started, Thomas and Kathy haven’t aged much. Monica’s Sister has been out for a while and soon I’ll bring out Two Miles of Darkness. On bringing back past characters: I have resurrected Thomas Black, the Seattle-based private eye who was featured in my first series. I thought it was the best job on the planet while I was doing it, and I still think so. On work: I am retired from the Seattle Fire Department. I’ve had a few people ask questions of me recently. As Thomas continues to investigate, he begins to unravel a conspiracy of murder and racial animus dating back almost two decades. At first the mummy seems unrelated to his work or the attack on him, but the corpse is gradually linked to several players in the case, including, oddly enough, Kathy’s client. After he is rescued from the sound, things heat up when Thomas stumbles upon a mummy as a consequence of tailing a local businessman with ties to the mayor’s office. Thomas suspects the attack may be linked to the police brutality suit he’s investigating for his attorney wife, Kathy. In his 15th appearance in the multi-award winning Thomas Black mystery series, Thomas is ambushed by unknown assailants on a Washington State ferry, pitched overboard and left for dead in Puget Sound. In this caper Thomas Black once again finds himself in trouble. If you’re shopping at Barnes and Noble it’s here. The trade paperback version can be found here. We’re happy to announce the fifteenth Thomas Black is now available.
