The brand new Holmes & Watson mystery, The Case of The One Bridge Too Far by Robert Lay is Bartholomew approved*. Perfect for cozy autumn reading!

*Approved by me too —I was a beta reader

I wanted to bring a treat for backstage at our show on Saturday, so I summoned Craisin Dreams from The NecroMunchicon. They were universally well received — not too sweet and extremely lemony. They almost all vanished. I hope everyone had pleasant dreams…
A vaguely skull shaped piece of cake, studded with dried cranberries sits on a plate in front of The NecroMunchicon, which is open to the illustration of Craisin Dreams.

How did they capture my cats’ personalities so well?
Two political-style buttons with red, white, and blue ombré backgrounds. The button on the left shows a cartoon of a black cat sitting on his hind legs on a surface while knocking a crowned orange off. The caption says “Nope!” The other show a cartoon white cat lying on his back, front paws tucked into his chest, kicking away a crowned orange with his hind paw. The caption says “No!”

Superman surrounded by a group of teens in 1950s attire, s younger boy standing next to him. He is saying “…and remember, boys and girls, your school — like our country — is made up of Americans of MANY different races, religions and national origins, so…” The text continues … if YOU hear anybody talk against a schoolmate or anyone else because of his religion, race or national origin- don’t wait: tell him THAT KIND OF TALK IS UN-AMERICAN. Help keep your school ALL AMERICAN

Quietly brought some Ubbo-Salsa to a birthday party and then crept out before anyone realized it was from The NecroMunchicon. I believe all guests survived unscathed.
