Friend of the Month Reminder

“Last day of the month,” Admin says. “Time for the June Friend of the Month reminder. Check the right of the screen. See Spencer? He’s Chet’s May Friend of the Month. And just below him, by the way, are two friends who rotate through every time the screen is refreshed. But that’s a side issue.”

“Literally,” says Spence. “The point is Spencer’s human companion sent in a photo to the Friends of Chet gallery. The random number generator – “

“East German Army surplus, circa 1956 – “

” – does the rest. Winner stays over there for the month and the winner’s human companion gets a signed and paw-printed – “

“And hand-written* – “

” – copy of the latest Chet and Bernie novel, in this case A Fistful of Collars.”

“This could be you! Just send in a photo!”

*All 100% true, except for the handwritten part.

The Iggy Chronicles, Volume 1

“I understand there’s a new e-short story coming in August,” Admin says.

“The Iggy Chronicles, Volume 1,” says Spence.

“I’m assuming that Iggy, Chet’s best pal but a virtual prisoner in the Parsons’s house for just about the whole series, gets loose at last?”

“I’m not authorized to reveal any details.”

“Huh? Authorized by whom?”

“The IRS now has an Authorizing Division that governs the actions of authors. The accountant says not to upset them.”

Coming August 13 – the Iggy Chronicles, Volume 1.
