Their romance started in Oroville, California, and continued in the British Isles and, eventually, in Paris. In 1992, your author and his editor wife, Bobbi, spent twenty-one days driving in Ireland, Northern Ireland, Wales, England, and Scotland.

Описание: In 1939, Agatha Christie wrote her most successful novel, one she said was the most difficult to write. It is the story of a madman who invited ten people to spend a holiday on an island off the Devon coast of England. They were lured by either a promise of employment or a chance to meet old friends. The madman's real motive for the invitation was to have them murdered, which occurred. The title of Christie's book was And Then There Were None. The author of The Blue of Portsmouth PD series decided to deviate from writing his own murder plot and instead made the decision to bring Christie's victims from the island off the shore of England and have the murdered in New Hampshire. The Portsmouth PD detectives, led by Madison "Madi" March, were given the challenge to solve the murders. To give the book an authentic Agatha Christie flavor, Madi's addled uncle, Henri Parrot, who believes he is the incarnation of Christie's great detective, Hercule Poirot, is given a badge by Chief Bethany Van Dike and made an honorary sergeant. Surprisingly, Sgt. Henri Parrot has all the detective skills of Hercule Poirot and becomes the leading character of the story.

Описание: Gone, But Where? Episode Four Case of the Puzzling Similes Noble Alan Palmer was a resident of Portsmouth during the "asked and answered" serial murder case. He followed the case in the newspaper and on TV. He was envious of the notoriety that media gave the killer. He wanted that fame for himself. But the thought of killing someone sickened him. He thought of his name, Noble Alan Palmer (NAP), then it hit him-Napper. He would become a serial kidnapper. He would be known as Nappy. When following the "asked and answered" case, Nappy became familiar with all the officers at the Portsmouth PD. He admired Chief Masterson and Tim Slone and Skiv Van Dyke and Keegan O'Regan. He looked forward to staying ahead of them in investigating his abductions. Nappy left a signature note at the scene of each kidnapping. The first note contained a cryptic phrase and three letters with a comma separating the first from the last two, "Warning, no house is like a home. -G, BW." A next note included a different phrase, but there were two letters before the comma. The conclusion was made that Nappy was planning quite a few abductions.

Описание: Asked and Answered: Episode Three The Case of the Acrimonious Alliteration Nearly six years have gone by since a quartet of psychopaths were brought to justice. The crime-free years in Portsmouth brought Chief Wesley Frey high praise from the press and the citizenry alike, but his retirement banquet is planned. Who will be the new chief? Will it be someone promoted from the ranks or will the mayor and the city council bring in an out-of-town candidate? In either case, most thought it was time to hire more officers with CSI training. Meanwhile, Portsmouth's crime-free years are about to end. An admirer of serial killers would like to join their ranks. He has a hatred for those who go through life taking advantage of others, disregarding what's fair. When he observes an assistant district attorney use the "asked and answered" ploy to win the acquittal of a known felon, he has his victim in mind and his serial killer's signature. He leaves behind the victim's business card to taunt and confuse the police as the investigator's whiteboard has a growing "asked and answered" victims list. He and the new chief, plus three new CSI investigators, find themselves in a battle of wits as the serial killer's body count rises. Of course, the Portsmouth PD's Tony Slone, Bethany "Skiv" Van Blair, and Keegan O'Regan also play a big role in solving the case.

Описание: The Truth Book In 1995, the author was invited to attend the fiftieth reunion of the eighth grade class of School No. 54 Indianapolis, Indiana, located at Tenth and Dearborn streets. It was a marvelous evening filled with connecting name badges with faces (and bodies) that have changed greatly during that period of fifty years, remembering long, almost-forgotten experiences, laughter, and dancing, but all came to an end too quickly. The author, a writer of murder mysteries and is in need of a plot, decided to use the 1995 fiftieth reunion of School No. 54 and Arsenal Technical High School as the setting. That is where similarities end. The author has created a fictional cast of classmates who will have entirely different appearances, relationships, interests, and personalities than those of the author's 1945 friends. The reunion will start out as a fun evening but will end in murder.

Описание: If you haven't read episode 7, The New Guy In Town, you should. Between 2001 and 2012, your author penned six mysteries using Portsmouth, New Hampshire, as the setting. The Portsmouth police force was very small-a chief, a lieutenant, two detectives, several other officers, and a dispatcher. They worked night and day, weekday and weekends, trying to solve a very compelling crime. The villains included two serial killers, a serial kidnapper, a pair of very wealthy sociopaths, a corrupt mayor, and a ruthless Russian heroin dealer. This was the format of many TV shows: the Law and Order shows, CSI shows, and The Closer for example. All great shows but not realistic. There must have been other crimes being committed and other officers solving them. Therefore, your author turned to another community, the imaginary community of Cypress, California, in imaginary Coast County. Again, a great police force focusing on a series of related murders. When the murders were solved, your author was so enamored with the law enforcement officers, he couldn't bear to forget them. He had Chief Beth Van Dyke in Plymouth hire the deputy chief and an FBI agent and their girl friends and brought them to Portsmouth.

Описание: Your author would like to make three points. First, he believes if he can visualize the exciting climax occurring in the last chapter of a book, he can write the chapters leading up to that ending. Not so with The Last House on the Left. You author thought that the title could lead to an exciting plot he started writing without an ending in sight-a different approach. We will let you decide if it worked. Second, the plot did develop. The series of murders occurred when the leader of a Russian mafia heroin connection was trying to eliminate anyone implicating him. The Portsmouth cop prevailed, and this success in episode 6 led to the unexpected ending in the last chapter of episode 8, The New Guy in Town. This led to episode 8, Is Nappy Back in Town, and a new plot development. Instead of one police squad trying to solve one crime, partners of an experienced officer and a rookie are trying to solve one of several crimes all happening at once. Third, your author added a new character, Madison "Madi" March, a rookie who was hired for her forensic skills. If the title The Last House on the Left was not so important to the plot of episode 6, Introducing Madison "Madi" March would a better title.

Описание: Penelope and Antigone Travails of a German Immigrant Family Years ago, the author was acting in a college play and mispronounced Penelope as Pene-lope. The cast chided then laughed. The author thought the mispronouncing was worth remembering. Years later, when studying Greek mythology, the author came across the character Antigone and realized that using Penelope and Antigone as characters might prove to be humorous. Twin sister, but what about a surname? Once again, the author goofed. When reading about German philosophers, he read Goethe but mispronounced Goethe, rhyming it with sloth. Your author's twins, Penelope and Antigone Goethe, now needed a book to come alive. The author, also the family genealogist, traced his Eplers back to Germany to an area known as the Palantate. He then realized that the Eplers and the Goethes could be friends immigrating to the colonies together. Therefore, we have the travails of two German immigrant families. Johannes Goethe was the first of ten generations of Goethes descending down to Penelope and Antigone Goethe. During the tale of their travails, they faced many hardships: the ocean voyage, indentured servitude, second class citizenship, internment during the two world wars, and kidnapping by an evil civil servant.
