Proof that the universe does have a sense of humor. During the fierce storm that struck Eastern Long Island at 9 p.m. July 4, a tree fell on this porta-potty. Happily no one was inside at the time!

@exlarson Dead Wake is so good…it makes a page turner out of the story even though basically nothing happens the first few days plus you already know how it ends. Masterful.

@exlarson Safe travels! This has inspired a short story for me about what it may have been like to be the final one alive in the dark (a little more horrific than my usual writing fare but for whatever reason it’s embedded itself!) Thanks again and looking forward to reading other works!

@MichaelVitaleJr Which southern warships are you referring to? Are you thinking of Union ships associated with potential relief missions? Send me a page number.

@exlarson Erik, I’m finishing up “Demon”. Have a Q: Where did the South aquire warships at such short notice, assuming that up until the beginning of hostilities the only gov’t was the US ?? Where did the South’s ships come from ??

@kaltizer503 Have you checked my source notes? I’m in Paris for a month—poor me—and don’t have access to my books or files. Dead Wake is three books ago so bear with me. Remind me in a DM in the first week of June?

I'll be speaking this morning in Yakima, WA, at the Capitol Theater, for the annual Yakima Town Hall. My hosts last night at the lovely Freehand Cellars Winery made some excellent cookies. (Yes, that's a cookie, roughly the size of a Fig Newton. And really good!)

Whether on foot or on hooves, our officers are always ready. After someone stole a purse near West 72nd Street, our Mounted officer & his horse, Kelly, kept on her trail. Galloping down the street & with the help of a witness, they recovered the purse & apprehended the suspect.
