CONTEST WINNERS

The Grand Winner of this pesky contest is Shelby from Connecticut. Second place goes to Carrie from California. They will receive copies of MULETRAIN TO MAGGODY when I do, either in late January or February.

As for the rest of you, do not despair. In early December I'll update the newsletter and make a Modest Proposal that will give twelve of you the opportunity to win a free book (as opposed to a partridge in a pear tree).

The Elusive Solution:

My SUN'S RHEUMY is wild about:

  • Nero WOLF
  • Sam SPAYED
  • ROWS Marie Buchanon
  • BEEN Haskell
  • Ruby BE Hanks
  • Deborah NOT
  • Stephanie PLUMB
  • MERRY Russell
  • MAT Scudder
  • GYM Rockford
  • HAIRY Potter


The Puzzle They Solved

Gentle Readers,

Here we go again with a new contest. Be warned: I have been told that's it's much too devious, but I have great faith that a few of you out there with entirely too much free time will puzzle it out. The winner will receive either a copy of MULETRAIN TO MAGGODY (but not until February 2004), or a copy of BIG FOOT STOLE MY WIFE!, a collection of some of my seriously twisted short stories and also includes the second Theo Bloomer novel, THE DEADLY ACKEE (as soon as I haul myself to the post office). You may decide which you prefer. Please send your solution to rubybee123@aol.com." Ready?

My son's roomie likes mystery fiction, but he bases his preference on a single criterion. Once you determine what it is, suggest three more characters he might enjoy. Right now he's wild about (in no particular order):

  • Nero Wolfe
  • Sam Spade
  • Rose Marie Buchanon
  • Ben Haskell
  • Ruby Bee Hanks
  • Deborah Knott
  • Stephanie Plum
  • Mary Russell
  • Matt Scudder
  • Jim Rockford
  • Harry Potter
New Clues!

My son's roomie has other preferences based on the same sole criterion that he uses to chose mystery novels.

  • His favorite colors are red and blue (but not white).
  • His favorite rock bands are Motley Crue and the Beatles.
  • His favorite novel is "A Long Day's Journey into Night."
  • He drives a Saab.
  • He always throws a party on the Fourth of July.
  • He loves John Wayne movies.
Remember to use rubybee123@aol.com and not the old email address. It seems it was innundated with more viruses and mutant worms than the CDC will ever see.

Yrs in eternal optimism,
Joan Hess
