FALL 2009
Hi, everyone.
It’s been a long time since I’ve updated the homepage. I suppose I could claim the dog ate my text, but my excuse is the usual one: busy writing a new book.
Along those lines, the new Delaware novel, EVIDENCE comes out on October 6. For those of you who get to it, hope you enjoy. I’m finishing another Delaware, DECEPTION, which will be published this April. The paperback of TRUE DETECTIVES has also just been released.
My virgin venture into the world of art book publishing, WITH STRINGS ATTACHED: THE ART AND BEAUTY OF VINTAGE GUITARS will be featured in an upcoming issue of GUITAR AFFICIANADO magazine. Thanks to all you guys who wrote me, happy that you’d received the book as a holiday gift. And special thanks to you long- suffering guitar wives and girlfriends for your exquisite sense of taste. LOL. I’ll be signing the book at Westwood Music in L.A. on December 13.
On the family front, Faye’s BLINDMAN’S BLUFF and the young adult thriller, PRISM co-authored by Aliza and Faye continue to garner nice reviews and excellent sales. Jesse’s fourth novel, THE EXECUTOR, will be published this March.
On the personal front, I turned sixty last August 9, a surprisingly pleasant milestone. Every wrinkle’s been earned and all the parts seem in decent working order. And to those who’ve inquired: no, I don’t color my hair, nor have I gone under the knife except for cancer surgery 21 years ago. My kids surprised me by dropping in from various locales around the country and the best gift, one month and four days later, was the birth of Faye’s and my second grandchild – and our first grandson. Our sparkling two year old granddaughter continues to bring us unremitting joy.
Speaking of dogs, after losing three beloved canines within a two year period, Faye and I decided to try life pooch-less. We were okay for a while but eventually found life too peaceful. Hence, the addition of Hugo (as in Victor) to our household. He is a handsome, dashing, preternaturally sweet-tempered French Bulldog who provides loving companionship and non-stop entertainment. We have found the male counterpart to Alex’s Blanche! Profound thanks to superb breeder Colette Seror for producing Hugo and to Dr. Jan Grebe for connecting us with Colette.
