Beginnings
On Sundays we do beginnings, taking a look at the start of a Peter Abrahams novel, including those written under the Spencer Quinn moniker. (Is there any way “moniker” could be wedged into a Chet and Bernie title?) Today: Lights Out (first of what might be called the prison novels – the others are End Of Story and Delusion. Also probably the second-most Bahamian of my novels, after Pressure Drop. And an Edgar Award best novel finalist).
[“Consistently interesting and suspenseful, his thriller’s shocking outcome is revealed only on the very last page.”– Publishers Weekly]
Man is the word. You can’t stop hearing it when you’re inside.

Greetings!
Grizz can attest to the truth of this opening line.
BooBear: There will not be a calendar this year. :^(
Good day to all!

I think “moniker” might be backslang for “nickname.”
Good morning all.

Wose! Not surprised about the calendar. A lot has changed over the years and it was a lot of work for you. But I will miss it! It was a work of Art and Mom and I thank you for doing it all these years.

BooBear: It was always fun for me to put together the calendar. I have kept all the Plunderer calendars that I have made. I will have to gather them together and look at all the great pictures!

Of course the Attendant has kept all the calendars! Works of art, labor of love. It was worth posing for the photos.
