Day Two of my Virtual Book Tour, and I am still going strong. This is like saying: I’ve just run the second block of a marathon and am still going strong. Most of the tour is still ahead of me, but I’m looking forward to seeing what happens, to meeting new people, and visiting new blogs.
Today I am at Malcolm’s Round Table for a discussion of gangsters and Daughter Am I. I’d hoped to include more of Malcolm’s book, Jock Stewart and the Missing Sea of Fire, in the discussion, but he was kind enough to focus the talk around me and my gangsters. And do I have gangsters! My hero, Mary Stuart finds her grandfather’s little black address book in a secret room of the farmhouse she inherited from him, and she goes on a whirlwind tour of Colorado, Arizona, and on into the midwest searching out the people who knew him. Though in their eighties, none of them are what you would call upstanding citizens, though they are all loveable in their own way. Even Iron Sam, aka Butcher Boy, seemed less lethal than I intended him to be. Of course, he is dying, so he is more concerned with his own death than others’.
See, I’m doing it, too — focusing on my book. So, let’s focus on Malcolm’s novel for a moment. If you are a fan of humorous mysteries with outrageous (though incredibly realistic) characters, you will love Jock Stewart and the Missing Sea of Fire by Malcolm R. Campbell. I’m on my second read through. The first time was for the story. This time it’s for Malcolm’s wordsmithery.
So, please join me at Malcolm’s Round Table for a discussion about: Pat Bertram, Gangsters, and Daughter Am I.

Bertram's Blog

I’m heading over there. Just finished the Muse Online conference, which was brilliant, so I’ve got tons of housework etc to catch up on, plus a son coming home and a bedroom to prepare. But I think it’s time to stop for a coffee and go read about some good books.

Housework? I vaguely recollect that term. Has something to do with vacuum cleaners and brooms, I think.

Wish I could drop by, Pat. But I’m there in spirit. Have fun.

I’ll be seeing you on Friday, anyway, when I’m blogging up there in Cluculz. (I hope that’s how it’s spelled.)

Yes, technically, you will be up here in Cluculz Lake. We’ll have fun, too.
