Friends,
Fixed to Death has been out for six weeks now. I will not give you numbers, but I will give you a plain thank you, to everyone who read it and everyone who told someone else about it. The next book is underway. I am not going to say a word about it yet. This note will keep coming every week, the same as it has, because the work does not stop and the town is not done. There is a longer thank you below.
Delilah
From the Bench
The Ticket Stays Open
Six weeks after Fixed to Death launched, a plain thank-you, a note on what this blog has been since March, and why the series keeps a ticket open.
Also in the notebook
- Reads Light A customer had said the woman weighed heavy, and the talk went round the town a day before her scale reached my bench. She wanted it checked, not defended, and the weights had an answer that ran the other way from the accusation.
- Why I Write About Broken Things For twenty years I wrote down how things broke. This is why I turned that work into mysteries.
Every job gets a ticket. What came in, what the owner says is wrong, what is actually wrong, what it took to fix.
From Fixed to Death
