It is perhaps not generally known among the newer GMG members that I
have written a tragicomic trilogy (for readers 10 and older) about a
possible serial killer stalking the halls of an American public high
school, and I use "public" on purpose because we all know that American
private high schools are stain-free institutions of the most glowing
behavior.   ???

The reasons for cranking out such a dubious and highly questionable epic
are known only to my psychiatrist, but one is obvious: a silly and most
probably futile hope to secure a retirement nest egg beyond the $37.15 I
have in the bank at the present moment.

These only slightly lurid books are dimwittily entitled Why Begins With WDial Emma for
Murder
, and "Hex High School.   :o :o :o

Publication and sales have been slow: the company with which my agent has
dealt refuses to do any advertising.  "No problem!" said my agent.  "We'll
get Internet buzz going!"

So far, the hive has been dormant: not one penny has crossed my palm yet.

My literary agent has announced that the third installment (Hex High School)
is now available via Amazon.

So, all the books are available for c. $30.00 (for all three) via Amazon. Or for a pittance for a Kindle!

Keep them in mind Christmas!  If you need to give
a present to somebody, but you don't really like the person all that much,
my books would be the perfect gift!

Many thanks to Karl for the recommendations!

Not that it will help much, but I will mention your book on my author blog and related sites.

Cato, you just sold at least one copy (Kindle) at Amazon DE  8)  That probably won't help much for retirement purposes  ;)

You and Karl probably recall the hassle we went through when you gave me a version I could read on my computer screen. I thank you for that. But it was such a strain reading that way, I gave up after a couple of chapters. Now, at long last, I can finish the trilogy comfortably.

I do recall.  The thought that you are now reading it in full at last, has me keen to re-read it!  Only I have choir tonight :)  . . . so, tomorrow afternoon!  While waiting for the onions to get clear . . . .

Hey, Sarge. Do you like zombies? :D

No...I really hate them. Who, in their right mind, wants their brain eaten  :D

Many thanks again, and I hope the expectation at least equals the final result!

Concerning zombies, I have only seen one zombie movie: probably the prime mover of the genre!

To clarify an earlier comment, my literary agent is my little brother, who has spent a good deal of time, energy, and money to get the books published, which efforts are greatly appreciated.

"Cato" is of course an Internet persona, and sometimes "he" makes comments that are meant to be humorous, and are not true.

Any of us on the internet say things which are not true at times.

Well, I just wanted to clarify that the comments were not meant seriously, and that everything done to publish and promote the books is greatly appreciated.
