I’m celebrating the February 11 release of the trade paperback edition of THE ANTIQUITIES HUNTER starring the inimitable Gina “Tinkerbell” Miyoko, private eye. Over in Book View Cafe’s online bookstore, the prequel novelette, “Tinkerbell on Walkabout” is on sale for $1.99 if you purchase it directly from bookviewcafe.com.

“Like I could tell from that distance?”
I kept my narrowed eyes on her face.

“Around five-ten, five-eleven.”
A titan in my little universe. “If you are being stalked, you need to tell someone. Besides me. Preferably your boss . . . or the police.”
“And if I’m not, I look like I’m paranoid. Not good for my professional credibility.”
I suddenly felt much less impotent than I had about two minutes earlier. “All right. The first thing we need to do is establish the existence and identity of the stalker.”
“And how do I do that?”
“We, Rose. We.”
She smiled. The first genuine Rose Delgado smile I’d seen for weeks. “How?”
I pulled my lucky Caddie wire out of the side pocket of my gym bag and twisted it around my wrist. “We turn the tables on him.”
