Frequently Asked Questions
Most common questions
Are there any other additional charges on top of the price quoted? | If there is damage beyond normal wear, missing items, excessive cleaning charges or if there is smoking in the unit, you will be charged for repair or extra cleaning expenses. Because there is no garbage pickup, there is a $20 fee for garbage left in the unit. We ask that you take your garbage to the transfer station. |
What happens if we can't get there due to weather and arrive a day or two late. Do we have to pay for days we do not use? | We will not be responsible for lost days due to weather, transportation problems, illness, or other losses that are out of our control. There is travel insurance available to cover such loss. |
Is your unit smoke free? (we are sensitive to smoke) | ABSOLUTLY, YES ! |
How much alcohol can we bring into Canada? | Each person 19 years of age or older is entitled to bring 24 - 12oz bottles of beer, or 2 - 750ml bottles of wine, or 40 ounces of hard liquor. |
Why are there no taxes added to your rates when most others have to add 12% for Tax? Is it really tax free? | It is not tax free, we have already paid the taxes. Since we use our home personally more than 4 weeks per year, we are required to pay the GST taxes on the purchase price of the property and on all our expenses. We win by being able to use our place as much as we want, and you win by not having to pay the taxes. |

About Us
We are Bob and Sheryl Bjerk. Our primary home is a beach cabin on Puget Sound where we retired after operating a small animal veterinary clinic in Anacortes. We love the winter! Sheryl has done many years of ski patrolling at Mt. Baker and Snoqualmie pass. Bob is a dog sledding enthusiast and worked a number of years as a trail vet for the Iditarod sled dog race in Alaska. It's no wonder that we choose to have our vacation home where we can ski and enjoy the snow.

Sisu Boat Incorporated catered to the offshore fishing and lobster fisherman with vessels from 22 to 30 feet in length. Despite early success, Sisu Boat Incorporated went out of business in 1988.

HOUSTON, TX – Houston Ballet's Principal Dancers Connor Walsh and Sara Webb have been invited to travel to Japan to perform the leading roles in Sir Kenneth MacMillan's Manon with The National Ballet of Japan. Houston's dancers will be featured in two performances, which will be held June 24th and 26th at New National Theatre, Tokyo. Manon is a three-act ballet characterized by dramatic expression and a meticulously crafted structure, and one which also highlights the magnetism of the individual dancers. For tickets and information please visit the website.
Ms. Webb has performed the title role in Manon in Houston to acclaim on several occasions. Manon first entered Houston Ballet's repertory in 1994, and its choreographer, Sir Kenneth MacMillan, served as Houston Ballet's artistic associate from 1989 until his death in 1992.
The National Ballet of Japan Artistic Director David Bintley invited Connor Walsh and Sara Webb to dance in the lead roles of Des Grieux and Manon amongst The National Ballet of Japan company. At the heart of the narrative lies the pure love between Manon and Des Grieux. This ballet features several duets which incorporate many of the breathtaking lifts that are a characteristic of MacMillian's work. These elements, set against the lovely melodies of Jules Massenet, combine to exert a powerful emotional impact on the viewer. After a nine-year absence, anticipation is building for this revival of Manon.
Originally from Fairfax, Virginia, Connor Walsh trained at some of the best schools in the nation including The Kirov Academy of Ballet, The Harid Conservatory, and Houston Ballet's Ben Stevenson Academy. During his time at Houston Ballet he has received awards such as the Rudolf Nureyev Foundation Scholarship and the Ben Stevenson Scholarship award. In 2004, he won the first annual gold award from the National Foundation for Advancement in the Arts (NFAA), and was given the award of encouragement at the Shanghai International Ballet Competition. Mr. Walsh was promoted to soloist in March 2006 and then to principal dancer in September 2007.
Over the last five years, he has been in demand as a guest star, making appearances in Argentina, Australia, and The Philippines, as well as appearing in galas in New York City, Mexico and Malaysia. Mr. Walsh commented on his excitement about performing with the company. "It is nice to work with other companies and see the different dancers. You learn so much from their approaches and styles. It's a fresh and new adventure."
Sara Webb joined Houston Ballet in 1997 and promoted to principal in 2003. She received her early training at the Academy of Nevada Dance Theatre and at The Harid Conservatory in Boca Raton, Florida, from which she graduated in 1996. She was a finalist at the 2002 International Ballet Competition, performing Ben Stevenson's Twilight. In the summer of 2004, Ms. Webb guested with The Australian Ballet performing La Fille mal gardée. In the fall of 2008, Ms. Webb gave guest performances at Ballet West in Salt Lake City, Utah, performing the role of Miranda in Michael Smuin's The Tempest and Ben Stevenson's Three Preludes in their annual gala. She also performed in the Stars of the 21st Century Gala in Panama City in February 2012 with Mr. Walsh.
This will be Mrs. Webb's first time in Japan, which will make this trip an important and memorable experience. "I have never been to Japan, so I am looking forward to seeing the country and experiencing the culture. I expect to be inspired with a different energy by a new company and group of dancers. A dancer learns and grows with each guesting experience. It is good to see what is out there in the dance world," comments Ms. Webb.
Houston Ballet, under the leadership of Artistic Director Stanton Welch, remains "…one of the nation's best ballet companies" according to The New York Times. Houston Ballet dancers perform as guest artists with other ballet companies across the world, making appearances in Australia, Chile, the United Kingdom, Europe, and Japan.
After more than a quarter century of planning, the New National Theatre Tokyo had its grand opening in 1997, as Japan's new center of the performing arts. The National Ballet of Japan was established in the opening year of the theatre on October 24, 1997. There was a fateful encounter for the company when it first worked with David Bintley in performing his Carmina Burana. Through this opportunity, the company and the choreographer built a firm relationship. Then two years later, David Bintley came back to Tokyo to create a huge, new full-length ballet, Aladdin for the company. He was welcomed to the company and appointed Artistic Consultant in 2008. David Bintley took over as Artistic Director starting with the 2010-2011 season, and the company set off in a new direction to explore further challenges.

Terror in New York—1741
Was there really a conspiracy to burn the town?
June 1974 | Volume 25, Issue 4
During the 1730's forces leading toward fear and anger in New York began to coalesce. Slave uprisings broke out, both in the West Indies and in several of the English colonies. A rebellion in South Carolina resulted in the deaths of about twenty-five whites before it was crushed. And there were portents closer to home. In 1736 a schoolmaster in Ulster County became the talk of the New York colony by fraternizing with Irish Catholic servants and by openly proposing a toast to the king of Spain. He was put in jail but later escaped and disappeared. In 1740 rumors spread through New York town that slaves were conspiring to murder their masters by poisoning the water supply. For some time thereafter many New Yorkers bought their water from sellers who came by in the streets.
And then came the year 1741. At this time New York was still a town on the lower end of Manhattan Island, with a population of about twelve thousand, of whom more than two thousand were slaves. England was once again fighting with Spain, this time in the War of Jenkins' Ear. Rumors of slave plots and uprisings were everywhere. To compound the unrest, the winter of 1740–41 was especially severe. Bread was scarce and expensive, and the misery of the poor—black and white—was intense. The town of New York was ready to explode.
Late in February, 1741, someone broke into the shop of Robert Hogg, a tobacconist, and stole "divers … goods and several silver coins … etc." When questioned by city authorities, Hogg recalled that a sailor named Christopher Wilson, who had a reputation for consorting with slaves, had been in the shop a few days before the crime and had seen Mrs. Hogg counting coins.
Under questioning, Wilson admitted having told two slaves about the coins in Hogg's shop but denied any knowledge of the theft. Wilson also said that he had visited a tavern on the morning after the crime and had seen the two slaves with a hatful of coins. The blacks—one named Caesar and the other Prince—were promptly arrested.
The tavern involved belonged to a man named John Hughson and had a poor reputation among the respectable citizens of New York. Like other taverns in the port, it had become a gathering place for blacks, sailors, prostitutes, and other types whom the townspeople considered unsavory. Hughson was detained but then set free when a search of his tavern failed to produce incriminating evidence.
Then Mary Burton entered the picture. Little is known about her except that she was a seventeen-year-old Irish girl indentured to John Hughson as a servant. While chatting about recent events with the wife of a New York constable Mary Burton suggested that she knew something about the theft in Hogg's shop. She was questioned and, professing to be afraid of Hughson, was promised protection by the authorities. Thereupon she told her story, saying that Hughson had made a practice of receiving stolen goods from slaves. She also implicated Hughson's wife, Sarah, his daughter, who was also named Sarah, and a prostitute named Peggy Kerry, who, said Mary, had been sleeping with the accused slave Caesar.
Hughson was confronted with these accusations and denied them, attacking Mary Burton as a good-for-nothing who was simply trying to make trouble for her master. But authorities refused to be put off and kept pressing. Finally Mary directed the constables to a cache of stolen goods buried under the tavern. It seemed as though the case of the missing coins had been solved, and authorities made ready to try both the accused blacks and whites.
As fear, doubt, and rumor agitated New York, Mary Burton appeared before a grand jury to testify about the Hogg case and the Hughsons' role in it. With interest centered on the fires, her words drew little attention. Public attention quickly focused on the proceedings, however, when Mary Burton hinted at some knowledge about the fires. At first her testimony was hesitant, but under the prodding of the judges she charged Caesar and Prince, plus the Hughsons and Peggy Kerry, with plotting to burn New York. Not stopping there, she introduced two new names to the investigations, those of slaves called Quack and Cuffee. After the city had burned, testified Mary, all the whites were to be slaughtered, and Hughson was to be named king of the newly freed slaves. As a final touch, one sure to bring the case notoriety, Mary declared that any surviving white women were to be divided among the blacks.

Adolescence is a time of many changes—physical, mental, social, and emotional. Most adolescents adapt to these changes in healthy ways. Others experience turmoil and conflict. They become deeply unsettled and confused as they attempt to cope with this time in their lives. This unhappiness and confusion may lead them toward dangerous or deviant behavior, such as drug use. A single episode of drug use does not necessarily lead to further use, but several episodes may lead to ever-increasing use, resulting in abuse and dependence. Continued drug use can have serious consequences, not only during adolescence but into adulthood as well.
Whether a young person continues to use a drug depends on three major factors: age of first use, type of drug used, and reasons for use. Younger adolescents who try one type of drug may go on to sample...

Bigwig is a large, powerfully built rabbit, originally a member of his home warren's "Owsla," or police force. His name, Thlayli, literally means "furhead," a reference to the distinctive thick growth of fur on the top of his head. At first, the other rabbits are wary of him; when Hazel brings up his plan to leave the home warren, he is taken aback when Bigwig volunteers to come along. Adams writes, "The last thing Hazel had expected was the immediate support of a member of the Owsla. It crossed his mind that although Bigwig would certainly be a useful rabbit in a tight corner, he would also be a difficult one to get along with. He certainly would not want to do what he was toldor even askedby an outskirter."
Although Bigwig is used to being respected and has a tendency to throw his weight around...

Hey there, I've nominated you for a very inspiring blogger award, check my post out please.
I just wanted to echo your comments on Mike's latest Cagney post. Regards the schlock that passes for quality entertainment these days. I was just reading a local (Boston) critic's top ten list of movies for the past year. I know this is always subjective but my point — and I think yours — there seems to be a lot of garbage treated as quality these days.I am sure Cagney, Tracy and the other legends are just rolling their eyes. Happy New Year!!
That "Teepee 12" comment came from me, GARRY, on Marilyn's blog site thingy. Happy Trails!!

This product is all natural and can be rehydrated with a bit of water or used dry. My cat loves it either way and I use it as a reward for training and for activities to keep his mind busy. My cat is very active so I'll put it inside small places and boxes where he can pull the piece out. He stays interested until he gets them out and it gives me some time to relax from running him around the house.
He loves them so much he's broken into the new bags when they weren't in the hiding place!

Like each team's workout program, media coverage of the NFL offseason basically unfolds in three phases :
1. Free agency.
2. The draft.
3. Listicles designed to pass the time till training camp.
We're now full-on into the listicle phase, which means everything and anything gets ordered or ranked, whether it's according to fantasy value, secret superstars, or roster projections. Scoff at the simple-mindedness all you want, but if you weren't interested, you wouldn't be reading this. Thank you for reading this.
Anyway, Mike Tanier of Sports on Earth last week created what he calls a Hope Index for all 32 NFL teams. The ideain case something called the Hope Index wasn't self-explanatory enough for youwas to "put a number on hope and rank all 32 teams on hopefulness."
And Your New York Jets came in at No. 29 in Having Hope, or No. 4 in Having No Hope, depending on one's view of things. Which seems ... off.
Tanier's Jets take reads as follows:
John Idzik still represents a "regime change" point, and Michael Vick combines with a repurposed Geno Smith to make a "new quarterback," but the bottom line is that the Jets lead the league in phrases that must be placed within quotation marks.
Fine, yes. But No. 29 in Hope? Like, really?
Tanier, the co-author of the always-excellent Football Outsiders Almanac, didn't just spitball these rankings. He created an actual methodology to quantify the whole shebang, which he described this way:
"Hope" does not mean hope for a 2014 Super Bowl, but hope for a brighter future. Teams at the top of the list are either headed in the right direction, have already arrived there, or have beachfront summer homes in "right direction." Teams in the middle have at least installed the GPS and packed their bags. Teams at the bottom are not expected to win now and would have a hard time convincing anyone that they are poised to win later.
Upon closer inspection, however, it's obvious that Tanier's criteria is stacked against the Jets. I say this not out of any whining sense of bias or unfairness. Rather, it's that Tanier's methodology does little to reward a team faced with the Jets' particular set of circumstances. (Tanier knows this, by the way. The Hope Index is meant to be a light snack of offseason analysis, not a hearty meal. "If you feel different," he writes at one point, "it does not reflect poorly on your intellect or sanity. Probably.")
Here is what Tanier considered in compiling the Hope Index, and whether any of it applies to the Jets:
Recent Super Bowl appearances (No.)
Super Bowl quarterback (Nope.)
Super Bowl coach (Nuh-uh.)
Winning records, last five years (Yes!)
* 2013 playoff appearance (Nah.)
2013 Pro Bowl participants (Well, kind of.)
2012 Pro Bowl participants (Kind of, sort of.)
Class of 2012 quarterback (Huh?)
New quarterback (Why?)
New coach (Come on.)
New regime (Nada.)
Drafting in top five and/or having multiple first-round picks (Nyet.)
Stuck in a tough division (At last. Now we're talking.)
As you can see, most of the above criteria has absolutely nothing to do with whether the Jets might have "hope" for the future. And not just the Jets: As the Seahawks have demonstrated, recent history does nothing to determine a team's future success. Indeed, had there been a Hope Index prior to the 2012 season, the Seahawks likely would have ranked near the bottom, considering they had made one playoff appearance in their four previous seasons and even had a losing record that year, to boot. And all the Seahawks have done since is win a division before winning the Super Bowl.
As Jets fans know all too well, having Pro Bowl participants is indicative of nothing: Cornerback Antonio Cromartie was one of two Jets to make the Pro Bowl after last season (center Nick Mangold was the other). But Cromartie had played most of last season on a bad hip. It was actually one of the worst seasons of his career. His reward was to get cut.
New coaches, new quarterbacks, and new regimes? That kind of stuff generates enthusiasm because there's always some promise in what's new and unknown. But as metrics, they don't signal anything, either.
The Jets' biggest obstacle to "hope"aside from the obvious uncertainty at quarterback, regardless of who starts between GenoMichaelSmithVickis playing in the AFC East, where the Patriots will remain the gold standard for as long as Tom Brady can put on a helmet. This is undeniable.
The Jets' moves this offseason don't figure to make them Super Bowl contenders. But fourth in the NFL in Having No Hope? Nah.

When two senators recently got into a spat over whether the Boston Marathon bombings were being politicized, the news was everywhere within minutes.
Reams of commentary quickly followed. In the maneuvering over gun-control legislation, every twist and turn was instantly reported and then endlessly debated.
As the effects of the federal sequester start to make themselves felt, outlets in every medium — print, television, online — are carrying both the news and the inevitable partisan sniping over its meaning.

CONCORD, N.C. (AP) - Clint Bowyer picked up his first win in the Chase for the Sprint Cup championship Saturday night, winning a fuel mileage race that ended in disaster for points leader Brad Keselowski.
Keselowski, who has a seven-point lead over Johnson at the halfway point of the 10-race Chase, immediately gave his Penske Racing team a pep talk over the radio.
``Win some lose some guys, it's all good,'' he told them.
Keselowski, who also ran out of gas Friday night in the Nationwide Series race because of a fueling error, then asked his crew if he led the most laps Saturday night. Indeed - he led 139 of the 334 - but had little to show for his effort.
``It's blackjack, you're not going to win every hand,'' he said. ``When you got a bad deal you have to try not to have too many chips on the table.''
But Keselowski was able to see a silver lining in still finishing 11th.
``It was the worst-case scenario,'' he said. ``We minimized the damage as best we could.''
Denny Hamlin finished second and is third in the Chase, 15 points back, and Johnson finished third. Neither felt all that bad for Keselowski.
``Live by the sword, die by the sword,'' Hamlin said.
``I don't know how much it hurt him at the end of the day,'' Johnson said. ``I've been doing this long enough, too, when you see something happen, in your mind you're like there's an opportunity and before you know it, it happens to you.''
Both had to play their own fuel-saving game, especially in the closing laps. Hamlin couldn't make a run at winner Bowyer, and Johnson said he couldn't try to chase down Hamlin.
``We were just being really cautious and didn't want to go out there and chase (Hamlin) and get ourselves in trouble,'' Johnson said. ``We're getting really good at this fuel mileage stuff, it's hard to get it right.''
Everyone had to keep one eye on the gas gauge starting very early in the race, and it worked out in Bowyer's favor for his career-best third victory of the season. It also put him back in the title hunt as he moved one spot in the standings to fourth, and he's 28 points out as he heads next week to his home track in Kansas.
It all comes in Bowyer's first season with Michael Waltrip Racing and manufacturer Toyota, a partnership that's working out far better than expected.
``Who thought in a million years I'd walk into the situation I've walked into?'' he asked in Victory Lane.
The race was the first since 1979 without an Earnhardt as Dale Earnhardt Jr. sat out with a concussion. The announcement was made Thursday after Earnhardt sought medical attention for a lingering headache from the 25-car accident Sunday at Talladega.
His doctor said he'd also sustained a concussion in an Aug. 29 crash at Kansas.
Regan Smith got the start for Earnhardt, but it was short-lived. The engine in the No. 88 Chevrolet failed during the first third of the race, sending Smith to the garage for the night.
Smith is scheduled to be back in the car next week at Kansas, which has two open days of testing and gives Smith more time to get acclimated with the Hendrick Motorsports crew.
``It's a good team, it's a good car and everybody at Hendrick Motorsports does a great job,'' Smith said. ``I'm looking forward to next week. I'm getting comfortable with the cars, comfortable with the equipment. Should be fun to go to Kansas.''
Kurt Busch, who was hired to replace Smith at Furniture Row Racing next season, got a jump on that job early by taking over the job this week and finished 21st in his debut race. That opened up Busch's seat at Phoenix Racing, and Smith was scheduled to drive that car at Charlotte.
But when Smith got the call to replace Earnhardt, the team gave a chance to AJ Allmendinger, who made his first start since his July suspension for failing a random drug test. Allmendinger, who had not raced since June 29, finished 24th.
Greg Biffle, who set a track record in winning the pole, finished fourth. It moved him up three spots in the points to sixth. He was followed in the finishing order by non-Chase drivers Kyle Busch, Mark Martin and Carl Edwards.
Kasey Kahne was eighth, but it cost him a spot in the Chase standings and he's now fifth. Joey Logano, winner of Friday night's Nationwide race, was ninth and Chase driver Martin Truex Jr. was 10th to give MWR all three of its drivers in the top 10.

'Johnny Clipboard' Shirts Are Being Printed to Show Johnny Manziel's New Role
Johnny Manziel nicknames ("Johnny Football" and "Johnny Cleveland") may be catchy, but they can come back to haunt a person during tough times.
On Wednesday, the Cleveland Browns announced that Manziel would be Brian Hoyer's backup to start the regular season. That means the rookie will be on the sideline wearing a hat and carrying a clipboard.
News of Manziel's spot on the depth chart gave The Heckler Store something to work with. The people over there found a creative way to mix Manziel's signature "money" celebration with his role with the Browns.

Comments & Pics
My new Lunghi story, "The Right Thing", is in this anthology which marks the wonderful Peter Lovesey's 80th birthday with stories and reminicences.
If you're in Bath, you can get copies at Toppings bookstore of several of my difficult to find books - like Family Business, Underdog, Eye Opener and even Rover's Tales with a new jacket. Click here for info about Toppings.
"Who I Am", which appeared in the Ellery Queen magazine below, won the 2012 Shamus Award for the best story of 2011. I'm thrilled that the Private Eye Writers of America recognized the story this way. It's a story that I am proud of and for it to be recognized by my peers is particularly pleasing.
The Albert Samson story, "Extra Fries", another in the series, was nominated for the 2014 short story Shamus for the best PI story of 2013.
Ellery Queen Mystery Magazine also has a blog called Something Is Going to Happen and I am the guest blogger for September 26th. Click to check it out?
The same year "Who I Am" won, a second of my stories was nominated for a very different prize:
"Anything To Win" in The Strand Magazine was nominated for Best Short Story at the ThrillerFest which took place in New York in mid-July. It didn't win but I'm still delighted at the unexpected acknowledgement. Go to my Works page to have a look at how the story starts.
In mid-December 2011 a new Lunghi novel was published in the US. For more information go to the
Events page.
Meanwhile a new edition of Underdog has been published in France. Click here to go to the publisher's page.
Shall I read you a story? Ellery Queen Mystery Magazine has a free podcast and the March one has me, Liza Cody and Peter Lovesey all reading stories. We talk about how we came to write them and, as a bonus, you get to hear a piano piece written and played by my son.
Click here to go to the magazine's podcast page. If you click on "download" at the bottom of the episode 7 page, you'll be on your way...
The sound on the 3-way conversation is a little blurred because the microphone was moved around during the recording, but the stories are clear. And so is "Roger's Blues." And - as I said - it's free...
Odd to think that after the first Albert Samson novel I wrote all the others while living in England - about as far away from Indianapolis, visually, as you can get.
On a different subject entirely, may I read a Rover story to you? Click here to go to a site that includes my rendering of an early version of "The Hand That Feeds Me". Sorry my reading is on the slow side, but the project is for people learning English
People sometimes ask me to sell them books - which is cool
and I can now send books to people unable to pay in US dollars or UK pounds.
I have an account with PayPal, the money transfer system associated with eBay. PayPal can be used to send money in almost any currency.
I'm thrilled to announce that fourteen of my mysteries have now been reissued in the US and Canada in (all) electronic formats.
The books include the complete Albert Samson series, the complete Leroy Powder series, and two more Indianapolis novels (Underdog and And Baby Will Fall) in which some of my series characters make supporting appearances. As well there's the first of my British-set mysteries, set in Bath. Did I mention I'm thrilled? I'm thrilled!
Here's the new cover for that first Albert Samson appearance.
Appearing now at your favorite electronic retailer - if you're in the US or Canada.
But for all of you in the rest of the world new editions of the Samson and Powder books are now available - in electronic formats and also as paperbacks and hardbacks via print on demand. Folks in northern North America will not be allowed to have them (at least theoretically.) Here's a sample cover. I'm thrilled s'more!
Here's the new cover for ASK THE RIGHT QUESTION!
Something rather different, CONFESSIONS OF A DISCONTENTED DEITY, continues to be available on all electronic platforms. If you have trouble finding it, try the book search on Smashwords.
Click here to go to the book's Smashwords page
Available electronically from Amazon: CONFESSIONS of a DISCONTENTED DEITY. It's different from my other work, but you'll recognize the style if you're used to it. $2.99 and equivalent in other countries. To read a sample click at the top of the column on the right.
Ever wondered what God is like? Well think about it: He made man in His own image, right? So if you look at men and work backwards you'll get the idea. Which explains a lot.
CONFESSIONS is narrated by God and describes a period of His life when He finds Himself changing. That not only surprises Him, it confuses Him and he gets slapped a lot.
But God is nothing if not a problem-solver. In this book He describes how He went about trying to understand Himself and work out what he should do about modern man. And modern woman.
CONFESSIONS is now available in a paperback edition in Japan. Here is what the cover looks like.
Here's what the legendary mystery writer, Peter Lovesey, says about CONFESSIONS of a DISCONTENTED DEITY:
"Confessions is a joy and I�m sure it will entertain and amuse everyone lucky enough to read it, bishops, priests and born-again Christians included. Rabbis, too. There�s such good sense and wisdom at the heart of this wonderful romp through heaven and earth. The idea is inspired and the energy and ingenuity of each chapter explore the nature of, well, almost everything that matters. The brilliance is that while we are treated to such fun with a God learning to be streetwise, the story is rooted in good theology. I hope He will return."
For exerpts from more reviews, click on the book title in the column on the right.
Click here to go to the book's US Amazon page.
Click here to go to the book's UK Amazon page.
There are four five star reviews for the book on the US Amazon site now. One says, among other things, "...If you like Lewin, read this novel." Another compares it to Twain and Vonnegut. A third is by my sister. But it's not expensive, $2.99 for now. Give it a try?
In my response to the first reaction to CONFESSIONS to be posted on my Chit, Chat & Pics page I've described how this book relates to my earlier ROVER'S TALES. God... dog... The poster also asks if I've gone dyslexic. Take a look?
Here's my first story offering as an electronic publication, at just under $1 - available from Amazon, Smashwords and all the major electronic platforms.
I really like the cover. It was done for me by Sam Camden-Smith.
FAMILY TRIO contains three stories about the family of private detectives who have featured in the novels FAMILY BUSINESS and FAMILY PLANNING. (The third novel in the series, FAMILY WAY, is out in the US this December.)
In "The Jane Case" the Old Man starts working out at the gym but when he watches a young man who runs oddly on a treadmill he finds a client. David's initiative helps solve the case and Marie sets up in a new enterprise.
In "And Maybe More" Salvatore has dinner with a woman who advertized on a dating site - strictly business, of course. Meanwhile Gina and Mama unravel the source of Marie's sudden wealth.
In "Gun Point" Angelo is held up on his way home from a drawing class and Rosetta meets a policeman who's only just moved to Bath.
These stories have been published before in mystery magazines but I've rewritten them all significantly for this, my first venture into electronic publishing. It's available for all major electronic platforms and for direct download to computers. Give it a try and let me know what you think?
Latest-to-first: the eighth Albert Samson novel is available on Kindle and in paperback.
Meanwhile there's a relatively new paperback edition of ASK THE RIGHT QUESTION, available from backinprint.com and all good online bookshops. ASK was the first ever Albert Samson novel and it's been forty+ years now since it was first published.
Check the picture - it's one I took on one of my research trips to Indianapolis.
Click here to go directly to the backinprint page for the book.
2009 marked the 40th anniversary of many things - first men on the moon, the Miracle Mets, PBS, Woodstock, Monty Python, Nancy Banks-Smith's first wicked TV reviews, the forerunner of the internet, Sesame Street. And Albert Samson.
Albert Samson? you say. Although the first Samson novel was published in 1971, I began writing it in November of '69. Recently I discovered the manuscript of those first few pages. This is what page one looked like:
Can you spot a line or two that survived intact in the published edition?
On this site I hope to provide a combination of accurate information about my current and past writing along with some less work-focussed bits and pieces. I normally have a look at the site each day.
So, look around and then, if you care to, comment on the Chit, Chat & Pics page, sign up for a very occasional newsletter, or contact me with the links provided.
And in any case, thanks for checking in.
A special greeting to my Japanese readers:
I'm proud of the beautiful falcon that I was so fortunate to receive when I won the Maltese Falcon Society's award for Best Foreign Novel in 1987. It's here in my living room - along with another prized possession, my 1992 "Marlowe" from the Raymond Chandler Society in Germany. And some tulips from my patio garden.

Children's Author and Illustrator Brian Selznick on 'Hugo Cabret'
Tuesday, March 27, 2007
Aired 4/19/09
Originally aired March 27, 2007.
(Eds. Note: "The Invention of Hugo Cabret" has been awarded the 2008 Caldecotte Medal.)
Tom Fudge: The Invention of Hugo Cabret is the name of a new illustrated book by Brian Selznick, who lives part of the year in San Diego. Brian's book is selling like crazy. The New York Times has it at number one among children's chapter books. It also has the attention of critics and film makers, for its innovative use of illustrations. In Hugo Cabret , the illustrations don't just animate the story, they tell the story in many sections of the book. Filmmaker Martin Scorcese is reportedly in line to make a movie of the book.
The Invention of Hugo Cabret is about a boy, in 1930s, Paris who lives in the walls of a train station.Guest

England's Michael Kiwanuka has the weary voice of a man much older than his 24 years would suggest. On his debut album--this year's Home Again--Kiwanuka's rich vocals are wrapped up in the kinds of jazzy, '60s singer-songwriter trappings that wouldn't sound out-of-place on a Van Morrison or Nick Drake record.
Last night, Kiwanuka made his way to Conan to perform "I'm Getting Ready" off Home Again. He was backed by a spare band which allowed him to show off his expressive voice and simple-but-effective songwriting. Watch the performance below.
