Jigsaw

First things first: Here’s a nice illustration by R.W. Alley from the first book in the Jigsaw Jones mystery series, The Case of Hermie the Missing Hamster

 

I wrote the first book in 1997 which — hold on, let me do the math — feels like a million years ago, or yesterday, depending on my mood. Time has that way of expanding or compressing. Now there are thirty-seven books in that series. At this point, there are no plans to do anymore, which is disappointing, but it’s been a great ride. And, hey, you never know — I keep hoping for renewed interest in the series. Stranger things have happened, and do, frequently.
