You are my favorite author-ever! I went through all of the Anty books like a house on fire and now I am having serious withdrawal symptoms... I know you are a ghost writer as well. Are there any books you've written (under another name) that I could read???
P.J. Fitzsimmons
Thank you Janet. Sincerely, I’m nothing short of moved when I read this sort of thing.
Anty Boisjoly was a working concept since before I even started ghost writing and he’s very different to anything else I’ve done. I always eschewed cliché and tried to inject a little frivolous humour into all of my commissions, but few of them would go very far in satisfying a craving for Anty Boisjoly’s studied silliness. In any case, I’m contractually forbidden from taking credit for any of my ghostwritten work.
On the other hand, the seventh Anty Boisjoly mystery — Fatal Foretelling at Ficklehouse Felling — has just passed the clubhouse turn and has entered the final stretch. This tale has more subplots than previous books and, in fact, it has more subplots than a Prague cemetery, so post-production might run into penalty minutes, but I feel confident in promising a September release.
Thank you very much for reading, Janet, and for this question.

I stumbled upon a description of your books as 'PG Wodehouse meets Agatha Christie'. I'm a huge fan of both! Colour me excited! So, in one fell swoop, I've ordered all 10 of your books! I'm looking forward to reading them!!! Cheers. (Mandatory question mark needed to post here ... ?)
