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!


After a publishing change, Why Begins with W is again available and at a great price of under $7.00!  The other parts of the trilogy, Dial Emma for Murder and Hex High School, are also on sale!

Just a "bump" for the new and newer members of GMG, who could not have gleaned yet that I have published the above trilogy, which might interest them. 

The narrator has his - or her! - musical interests, both classical and popular: Bach and Benatar are mentioned, along with a comment that the 1970's produced approximately 17 good songs.   ??? ;)

Still a lot better than all the decades after that put together, as far as popular music is concerned, right?  8)

Since it is that time of year, I thought I would remind "older" members here, and reveal to newer ones, that I have written a little trilogy.

If you order all 3, then you get a break on shipping!  (Or so I am told!)

Keep them in mind  for Halloween and of course Christmas!  If you need to give

I have them all on Kindle too. And recommend them. Of course the biggest mystery is the gender of the protagonist. I know...or I think I know if it is a he or a she, but I'll keep that to myself  ;D

Many thanks to Karl and Sarge!

Somehow my updated message was not included above: after a publishing change, things are now back and cheaper than before!

Why Begins With W is now priced around $6.50!  Dial Emma for Murder and Hex High School are similarly on sale, although not quite as low!
